Rooted - A Stack Exchange for computer security questions
- benwalther 17y agoWhy not just post these questions on stack overflow, under the 'security' tag?
- cookiecaper 17y agoStackOverflow trashes any question that isn't explicitly related to programming. If your question is, "How can I securely implement a password storage scheme with PostgreSQL and Erlang?", then StackOverflow is right for you. If your question is, "How can I break this guy's securely-implemented password storage scheme, written in PostgreSQL and Erlang?", then you would probably want something like this.
- charliesome 17y agoStack Overflow is about programming in general, this website specializes in security on its own. Furthermore, this site accepts security questions that may not necessarily be programming related
- code_duck 17y agoBecause any question on SO about using or configuring software is downvoted, complained about and sent to superuser.
- ra 17y ago"Rooted" is a common colloquialism here in Australia :-)
- atlbeer 17y agoit almost means the same thing in this context as well :-)

- wazoox 17y agoThat's a nice SO clone, What is it built upon? Obviously it isn't a SO site.
- dpritchett 17y agoStackExchange is the whitelabel SO clone service Joel and Jeff are hoping to grow with VC funds.
- InclinedPlane 17y agoClose, StackExchange is the whitelabel SO-derivative hosted by Fog Creek. But it is not what they are hoping to grow with VC funds, it's a separate entity than Stack Overflow proper, which is what they're trying to grow with VC funds. It's a little non intuitive but not terribly so.
