These things should not in my opinion be disclosed to (the idiot skript kiddie segment of) the public before the vendors have been given a good long window to fix them.
I prefer what VUPEN does when compared to irresponsible discoveries by black hats who do not give a shit about the integrity of the installed product and privacy / safety / security of how many millions of users, who can then be screwed over by every skript kiddie and his dog because they released the info straight to the public.
Sure, if the vendor has absolutely ignored you and your loud demos of the bug, and won't respond to threats to release, you might release the exploit to a small segment of the IRREPROACHABLE VANILLA WHITE HAT security community with the intention that they might help persuade the vendor to take it seriously. That's about as far as I'd want go with releasing serious exploits. Although of course grey/black hat stuff is fun - look, mum, I have a cool exploit!
If VUPEN are sworn to secrecy by their Government customer, and cannot tell the vendor or help them fix the bug, maybe it's time to get a new Government and public service. Your Government (US arrogances with a captial G) is trying to pwn you and spy on you. Fuck that, the government should answer to the will of the people (and don't talk to me about the farce we call democratic election. Democracy is where (almost) all the people are deeply involved in determining policy, it's more like the ideal soviet system, really, which was not realized AFAIK.)
Anyway, isn't that why you're carting guns around all these years, in case your (US) Government turns nasty and starts pwning your ass up down right and left with a canoe? (Not that it wasn't already.) Yes indeed, guns!! However let it not be said that I am inciting violent revolution with this sarcastic post, as I don't believe in or wish to promote that or any violent act.
Poor Google, not enough money. LOL!
- sswam 15y ago"VUPEN provides vulnerability research and intelligence for defensive and offensive security." so, they are I presume happy to help the US CIA/MIL fvck people over (who most likely don't deserve it).

- jemfinch 15y agoYou have solid points, but your rhetoric and diction is unnecessarily inflammatory and immature.
