What I would like to see would include vendors on a separate page (and then focus on the big ones only). Then categorization of the tools we use to manage our work (by functions), helpful document sources (for when we have to write policies) and tools we use to snoop around in systems with (in an attack tree format). And links to other resources.

Please keep it coming. And also please keep on sending me your favorite security related sites. They are awesome. Couple of criterion I forgot to mention in my previous emails: 1) I check the Netcraft ranking for each suggested URL that I receive. The site has to rank in 50K+ to be included in the index. (e.g. http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.securityfocus.com ) 2) I also make sure that the site doesn't excessive amount of Ads. For e.g. I will not include http://www.securitynewsportal.com/index.shtml Any thoughts? On 10/25/06, Matt Lye <lyematt () gmail com> wrote:
Its a good idea and I think it will be helpful however the problem of having vendor neutral sites is an issue. Most of the non vendor sites that talk about security and esecurity are blogs and many are opinion based. Some such as the Pauldotcom blogs, securitycatalyst, stillsecure, are done by skilled professionals others such as steve gibsons GRC.com have many factual errors in what they say about security issues. The difficulty I belive will be in generating a vendor neutral accurate information. You will be forced to screen so much information, many fairly neutral sites such as security focus are owned by the security companies. A few like SANS, packetstorm, and government agencys from around the world, are going to be your only true sources. That being said its a great idea and if you can get it to work ill be
using it.

that
are vendor neutral. Would this is be a good strategy or not? The URL for the search engine is http://www.xml-dev.com Any suggestion, or new URLs are welcome. Note: I won't include any security vendor website in the index for
right now.
