I made that post because I support the intellectual freedom the internet gives us, and I believe it is something very precious indeed. I don't want to see it locked down by governments and crippled due to a paranoid response to the security risks, made so evident by people such as PHC. You are only providing them with another excuse to limit our electronic freedom, which is much more valuable than the freedom to break into machines with 0-day exploits.spot on, Euan. I couldn't have said it better myself.
The problem with this line of reasoning is that this paranoid response to the security risks isn't caused by the (few) blackhats. It's caused and sustained by the security industry - who obviously are the FUD-mongers - aided by the armies of script kiddies - who are responsible for almost all damage and intrusions - which their practice of full disclosure creates. Thus, ending this practice will _increase_ freedom. --- anakata <anakata () hack se>, Corpus Hypercubus http://www.anakata.hack.se, IRC: {ef,irc,dal,slash}net, regular of #hack.se/efnet Cogito, ergo infestus sum.
