RE: Moot choices, a sort of DD media party

["Aleksander P. Czarnowski" <alekc () avet com pl>]

Actually a bit related - but instead of operating on binary level we
have a source code analysis approach presented here:
http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11230

The whole disclosure debate is similar to the one regarding exploit
publication etc. and I don't get really get it. The only explanation I
can see it that fact that 99,99 of people who flood such debates with
emails are not capable of doing real research or programming but they
still want to be part of game.

Just 2 cents

My fav line:

"Many people seem to pour time into the disclosure debate that should be
spent elsewhere," [Halvar Flake] said. "It's fruitless and boring and
has been for a few years."
