[Moderator: I would greatly appreciate if you could post this. Thank you!] I feel compelled to post just a short note about this thread. I'd like to state that I have not authored this thread and have nothing to do with "super-fuzz". Someone fraudulently and inapproriately is posting here as "pr0ix", trying to make fun of people while turning this list into a joke. I believe this is a serious list and spoofed and bogus posts shouldn't be allowed. Anyone who knows me knows I never used a hushmail account. Besides that, a more technical comment related to security: it's true that I'm closely affiliated with hack.co.za and in that position I view the recent activities of anti-security groups including a very popular one who released at least 8 private serious remote exploits in the last 3 months, as a strategy aimed at decreasing security and sending bogus advisories, code and / or fake information to mailing lists such as bugtraq and this one (this strategy was discussed in el8 magazine issue 0x2)... with respect to the authors rights of private proprietary code I won't release any details here. However, there's an elf-infecting virus out, contained in many so-called self-encrypted binary exploits, which will notify a certain group and give them root access to machines where exploits are run as root. The personal skill level of a person doesn't matter, but in any case I am against such childish and in other cases possibly criminal strategies to try and subvert the security scene and the "underground". pr0ix () def-con org
