Re: Publishing exploit code - what is it good for

What I need is a security administrator, CSO, IT manager or sys admin that can explain why they find public exploits are good for THEIR organizations. Maybe we can start changing public opinion with regards to full disclosure, and hopefully start with this opinion leader.

You won't find any such persons. Nobody reads SEC disclosure statements from public companies, either, nor do they listen to investor conference calls (http://www.fulldisclosure.com) or read company press releases or watch C-SPAN to see what their government is busy doing to them.

Shut 'em all down. They're a big waste of time and money, and they only help the bad guys on all sides of the bellum omnium contra omnes. The good guys get what they need by reading glossy print magazines.
