We have come under some pressure to delete part of the information from the message disclosing the Kerberos 4 vulnerability recently posted.
We would like to publicly announce our position in regards to the material within the Full Disclosure mailing list archives. We strongly feel that: 1. The archives reflect the entire mail traffic of the list, which is composed of individual messages sent by many different individuals. 2. The contents of these messages have become a matter of public record once they were distributed to both those who are subscribed to the mailing list, and mirrored by various sites who also archive the mailing list. 3. It would violate the editorial integrity of the archives and would also demonstrate a measure of editorial control over the content of the archives that we are not prepared to exercise. 4. That it is pointless to "delete a message" since the message contents are already widely disseminated, cached, stored, and otherwise ingested worldwide. To summarize, we are sorry that we cannot comply with any requests to delete the message in question, or any other for that matter. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
