Re: Detecting vulnerabilities to write exploits

[ahmad mubarak <gosi.infosec () gmail com>]

there are diifferent ways:

1 - vendors always announcing about the vulnerabilities before
releasing the patches such as the  Oxy-morons (Microsoft)

2 - bad behaviour of Security Response Teams by Making such tools
publicly available when there's no vendor patch available is
irresponsible. Plain and simply irresponsible. Everybody associated in
making and publishing the exploit knows this. And they should know
better. Moore, A.S, San and FrSIRT: you should know better.
