I think we should push for this so that attack platforms that are designed for penetration testers aren't used by the bad guys. I've already outlined the details, but the government can scrap that and work out their own details to how the scheme should work. Although I have no doubt in my mind we can't let the bad guys continue to use attack platforms that are designed for the security professional community. If HD Moore is serious that his attack platform isn't for the bad guys he would support this scheme, but of course his motivations are always questionable. The Department of Homeland Security were going to build a 45 foot border fence, as Bruce Schneier http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/11/new_dhs_head_un.html points out is a complete waste of money. Now what the DHS need to do if they want to counter hackers and cyber terrorism is to focus on worth while things like developing a security industry software license scheme that vets everybody using software and gets better regulation into the industry. This is the way ahead, _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
