Serg, What kind of vulnerabilities did you find? And did you actually exploit any of them? Running a nessus scan is one thing. I'm would like to get to the point where I can actually get into a system. Just looking for some tips. I'm not really the person to ask but I think as long as you haven't damaged or stolen any of the data I doubt any company would spend its resources on prosecuting you.

I am curious about an approach one would take in alerting a company that their web site/e-shop has multiple vulnerabilities. In other words should the individual who discovered the holes contact the parties involved directly or anonymously in fear of law suit? Also, would one be swimming in murky waters if they were looking at some reward for the discovery ... Cheers, Serg sbonlinux[AT]hotmail.com Your friendly neighborhood geek. _________________________________________________________________ We've 100s of NEW questions!
