Full Disclosure shuts down

2014-03-19 14:46:07.597046+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Full Disclosure mailing list shuts down, and surprisingly, it wasn't a legal challenge from a vendor, or from one country or another's law enforcement, it was in-fighting and trolling.

I'm not willing to fight this fight any longer. It's getting harder to operate an open forum in today's legal climate, let alone a security-related one. There is no honour amongst hackers any more. There is no real community. There is precious little skill. The entire security game is becoming more and more regulated. This is all a sign of things to come, and a reflection on the sad state of an industry that should never have become an industry.

I miss the old net too.
