Hi,I am engaged in the vulnerability assessment. Now I am lack of the statistic results about the exploting incidents of some vulnerabilities.How can I get some statistic data about the exploting incidents of some vulnerabilities? Please provide me some reference. Thank you.
Vulnerability assessments are usually made on a specific program/site/network. As a result, simply throwing statistics like "18 million hosts were infected with Nimda" doesn't tell you *ANYTHING* about whether your target is vulnerable to anything, Nimda or otherwise. On the other hand, *IF* your network contains Linux systems, Dave Dittrich's estimate of how long an unpatched Linux system survives may be useful information. -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
