MAILIST FRESH ARCHIVE

The new list must be run by and for the security community in a vendor-neutral fashion. I already maintain mail servers and Mailman software because I run various other large lists including Nmap Dev and Nmap Announce.

MAILIST FRESH ARCHIVE

If you want to start a replacement, go for it.вЂќ After some soul searching about how much I personally miss the list (despite all its flaws), I've decided to do so! I'm already quite familiar with handling legal threats and removal demands (usually by ignoring them) since I run, which has long been the most popular archive for Full Disclosure and many other great security lists. He said he was through with the list, but suggested: вЂњyou don't need me. Upon hearing the bad news, I immediately wrote to John offering help. Jericho from OSVDB and Attrition elaborates further in this great post. Mailing lists create a much more permanent record and their decentralized nature makes them harder to censor or quietly alter in the future. They say researchers should just Tweet out links to advisories that can be hosted on Pastebin or company sites. Some have argued that we no longer need a Full Disclosure list, or even that mailing lists as a concept are obsolete.

John truly deserves our appreciation and thanks for sticking with it so long!

During that time he fought off numerous trolls, DoS attacks, spammers, and legal threats from angry vendors and researchers alike. It was a great 12-year run, with more than 91,500 posts during John's tenure. Like many of us in the security community, I ( Fyodor) was shocked last week by John Cartwright's abrupt termination of the Full Disclosure list which he and Len Rose created way back in July 2002.
