Hey all, DJB,
>> Is the class on responsible disclosure next semester perhaps? Responsible disclosure is a euphemism creating by industry lobby groups like OIS, which never had much support in the security scene in the first place. > The reason that the 16 students sent their 91 reports to me privately is > so that they wouldn't have to deal with people like you. It was entirely > my decision to send out these 44 public notices. If I am allowed to suggest something for a possible re-run of the same course: It would probably be more interesting to set a lower bar on the number of vulnerabilities but to restrict the focus a bit more -- e.g. asking for 1 remotely exploitable bug in a list of widely used software (Bind/OpenSSH/ProFTPd (or even QMail :-) would focus students on larger pieces of software that are a bit more critical than e.g. nasm. This would lead to the students searching for less "standardized" problems, as well. Then again, it sounds like a really fun course :) Cheers, Thomas Dullien |
