For a long time I have wanted to be able to point to a common set of definitions for security terms (not the usual BS
marketing / Hax0r terms) that I can use and adopt in technical and non-technical writing. Things like the OWASP Top
Ten re-write. So I created one using a Wiki so poeple can add, change and refactor until a consensus is acheived. I
started with the definitions used by NIST.
