Disagree? Hi Chris, Depends on which side of the fence you're on. CERT has been criticized in the past for being frugal with vulnerability information. They don't publish exploits, for one, which means k1ddi3z prefer FD. :)
For "real" security people, CERT is simply waaaayyyy too slow releasing information. By the time they publish vulnerabilities, they've been thoroughly discussed on the security lists. They're fine for research papers for class. :-) Paul Schmehl (pauls () utdallas edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas AVIEN Founding Member http://www.utdallas.edu/~pauls/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
