  Sorry, to clarify Norton raised an alert on this domain. So proceed with caution.

    yeah, funny how antivirus software would complain about the website of somebody known, among other things, for demonstrating a lot of security flaws in antivirus software.

    fyi Tavis is a very well known and respected security researcher from Project Zero, and this is his site so it's nothing to worry about :) I mean he _could_ hack everyone if he wanted but he'd pretty quickly be in a whole lot of trouble You can see that he links to this as his site on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/taviso https://twitter.com/taviso Interestingly, I wonder if Norton doesn't like it since the name is related to an old vulnerability. From his site: > Q. What is the origin of your domain name? > There was a bug in early Pentiums called the f00f bug, it would cause a deadlock if you used in invalid operand with cmpxchg8b with the lock prefix. It was an important vulnerability at the time, and I thought it would be fun to own lock.cmpxchg8b.com.
