Looks like I "spammed snosoft" <simon () snosoft com>: Connected to 66.51.71.212 but sender was rejected. Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Mail from 216.136.174.181 rejected, Reason: you spammed!! http://www.snosoft.com FIRST OF ALL: In my humble opinion: SNOSOFT hasn't offered anything useful in terms of full disclosure. Where are the advisories? Hmmm, writing exploits based on known exploits that have already been written is quite revolutionary! They are out to seek publicity for their untalented company. They are giving up in their failed quest to write exploits because they simply can't do it anymore. They are going to stop writing exploits because, they CAN'T write them anymore. All available skill has been used up. They forgot how to disassemble and reverse engineer software to find exploitable bugs. Don't give up, there's hope... Hmmmm, is it me, or isn't Snosoft like a total packetstorm wannabe providing sooo much warez to those who need to pop root from local accounts on unix machines? They don't believe in full-disclosure anymore but they leave exploit code on their site-hmmm hypocritical? YES. VERY. Not to mention the fact that Snosoft hasn't written any decent advisory ever. So they aren't providing any more exploits? Boohoo! None of exploits released by snosoft could be made into anything useful anyway. This is yet another self-promotion of a company that lacks skill and know-how. I know alot of people are going to love the fact that Snosoft stopped trying to release exploits, but I know some script kids that are going to be devastated about this. But at least, Snosoft can now call themselves Blackhats. Wohoo, another blackhat added to the list. PHC up, hoes down. day to the motherfucking jay ==== ATD <simon () snosoft com> said: ========= I have been following the subject of full disclosure for a while, and as most of you know, have dealt with some of the issues that full disclosure can cause (HP/Secure Network Operations/DMCA). While the idea of full disclosure is a good idea, and while we support it, we feel that the exploit source code should not be released to everyone. === With that said, Secure Network Operations, Inc. will no longer be releasing functional proof of concept code. We may release sufficiently detailed advisories. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
