What about all those poor mom's and dad's who were encouraged to use Firefox but have 0 clue as to what the heck Full-Disclosure is? Seems to me your idea of "everyone" is misguided.
And if a patch is released for Firefox, those same mom and dad still aren't going to know it is out there. They aren't aware when Microsoft releases patches...so I believe there is no correct "everyone". We are all on different levels of security understand and some people just don't care (or know any better to care). I believe Dave was referring the security/network admins as a whole that have to watch over their users (hence "everyone that cares about the security of their network") - which isn't every mom and pap...or they wouldn't be using open Linksys routers in the first place. This list isn't out there to protect every mom and pap on the world.... -Todd _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
