Hello,

 as much as I hate to feed the trolls perhaps I should provide some
more context for my evaluation of NuralStorm webmail.  The project is
indeed quite aged, so much so that you are required to monkey with the
default PHP register globals settings to get it to run (which should tip
anyone interested in the project off that it might not be safe).


    Maybe for to this how disclosure is done in Philadelphia but which
I may ask where is this brotherly love of yours.


Unfortunately I actually came across the project because I found it as a
service offering from a legitimate company.  I was careful to mention
the age explicitly in my advisory because I am aware that it isn't a
recent project and thus is pretty easy pickings for any dedicated
security researcher.  Amazingly though, in the eight years since the
project has been released there have only been a couple security
vulnerabilities disclosed (notably CVE-2006-5386), which might lead a
casual observer to conclude that the project was safe for use.  I think
NuralStorm serves as a great example of the types of false metrics that
can sometimes be used to justify security.  Nevertheless, it wasn't
something I just picked out of the trash bin or dug up on random free
software download archives - NuralStorm is actively deployed, unpatched,
on the internet, and thus my disclosure was meant to warn folks who
might have the project in use, as it is immensely exploitable and no
longer under any sort of active development.  Unfortunately I won't be
able to work with the developers to try and update and secure this
project, which should ultimately be the goal of open source security
research.

    There is be plenty of historic and legacy software installed in
many company throughout Internet web history and our first tactical
goal is plausible deniability. There is be nothing wrong with security
troll researchers downloading all programs, run grep buff *.extension
then post advisory. I give is you all credits for respectable research
for low hanging fruit. Nothing wrong with digging out random garbage
no one care about then writing an exploit that no one too also care
about. It is all about security research recognition.

    When I is come to think of respectable research, I not think of
Bellovin, Sotirov, I think of MustLive and his future advisory - he is
mindreader like Miss. Cleo, I think of you - you like Marty McFly - go
back to the future! SMART! However I must warn full disclosure about
is your statement: "NuralStorm is actively deployed, unpatched, on the
internet" IIS 5.0 is actively deployed, unpatched, on the Internet:
Results 1 - 10  of about 394540 for IIS 5.0
http://www.shodanhq.com/?q=IIS+5.0

    Now is you ask yourself a) Should I be so mad? - For any mad Irish
is danger to society! Nasty leprechauns bring bad luck! b) Should I
write next another advisory against IIS 5.0 because for to it yes be:
"is actively deployed, unpatched, on the internet" c) Whore my
infinite vulnerability skill and write advisory for you is to share?
