I don't want people to get angry about this, this is actually a serious issue that n3td3v has noticed, and those security guys who are subscribed to more than one mailing list will understand. Full-Disclosure, I want action taken on the *growing* amount of security conference spam. It used to be acceptable, but these days its becoming intolerable. I don't know who in the security community would setup a mailing list for security conferences to advertise and get feedback from, but I think one should be created. Gadi Evron might be able to set a security conference mailing list up? I don't know. Who else is into the mailing list creation business? For sure though, there is an issue with Securityfocus accepting security conference spam on their mailing lists, and its not even funny now. The security conferences spam lists like vuln-dev and pen-test and the Securityfocus boys still accept it onto the mailing list, even though its been already accepted on the big main mailing lists a day or so before. What happens is, folks who are good at security, and are subscribed to all the mailing lists, get an inbox flooded with duplicate security conference spam, and people aren't even interested. People may think this isn't a big issue, but it is for me and i've been in contact with people who agree with me, now let's take action now before we get more security conference spam in our mail boxes. Securityfocus, stop accepting every security conference e-mail onto *every* mailing list, i'm becoming increasingly angry. Now somethings got to be done about this, and i'm calling for security community support for this, as the growing number of security conferences grow every year, and the problem will only get bigger and bigger, so let's join as one to get this situation sorted.

But "someone create a mailing list for security conferences" is a pritty sound idea. "i'm going off my head here!!!", aint you always... ---------- From: *n3td3v* <xploitable () gmail com> Date: Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 5:40 PM To: n3td3v () googlegroups com Its not a reference to homosexuals. If they were non-commercial it would be fine, but what it amounts to is commercial spam the same as viagra etc. Back in the day it was only one or two conferences getting *mass* announced, but now there are tons of conferences and they keep sending their shit to every single e-mail list they can think of. Nope... only when I see security conferences being spammed on *every* mailing list possible. The result, about ten copies of the same e-mail sitting on my mail box, asking me to purchase a ticket or buy security training. This has to be nipped on the bud at the highest priority and urgency!!! Its SPAM, so let's not dress it up as something else... get these fucks blacklisted like the viagra spammers!!! regards, n3td3v
