Hello everyone. I know I just started the new Full Disclosure list, but it's not working out :(. Everything may seem fine from the outside, but it has been nonstop grief from here. I'm not just talking about the (normal and expected) troll posts or all the petty complainers. We've already gotten a DMCA takedown demand, two other legal threats, and a sustained DoS attack which is disrupting all our other services too. And now our ISP is threatening to shut us down! It's kind of embarrassing that John Cartwright lasted 12 years and I couldn't even handle a week, but there it is. I do appreciate the many of you who were supportive. List closed! -Fyodor PS: OK, this is just a (terrible?) April Fools joke. I've actually been delighted and humbled by the reception from the security community and I want to welcome you all to the new list! We already have 7,226 members and more than 100 posts in this first week. That includes numerous new vulns, from SQL injection to privacy issues and even a physical security problem. Please keep up the good work! I regret that list moderation has been too slow because it's still just me, but I'm recruiting more mods from the researchers who post good vulns/tools/papers/etc to the list. I've also been following John Cartwright's lead in marking them for automoderation so their vulns go straight through with no delay. I really do want this list to be run by and for the security research community! Thanks for your support. _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/ By Date By Thread Current thread: Sorry I can't do this anymore.
