I see a major loophole here, as we don't know how much traffic on the dedicated securityfocus lists are being moderated, and the potential useful information being turned away. Sure, script kid flames may be anti-social, but even they are useful to a certain audience. (government, law inforcement) I see a big blackspot right now where high profile moderation of serious security topics are being moderated into the Securityfocus profit margin model, than protecting the needs of consumer and corporate interests. Its time for an open source full disclosure alternative to the Securityfocus list-set, in order to really know whats going on, because you can bet even the stuff the Securityfocus moderators get to see, is passed onto Symantecs intelligence engine, even if the moderator doesn't let the thread go live on the securityfocus lists. I.e. Symantec are getting so much more information than the average joe, via the intelligence post to moderators, than the public gets to see, and that frustrates me. Symantec have a huge intelligence facility in England, its an old nulcear bunker with huge steal doors, where they compile intelligence data sent to the list moderators, and only a small percentage of that goes live to the public. We need more lists, so people can cross post and see whats really getting sent to Securityfocus moderators and rejected in all security specialized subjects, not just new bug disclosure. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
