TL:DR of above link: "[responsible disclosure] is like full disclosure, with the addition that all stakeholders agree to allow a period of time for the vulnerability to be patched before publishing the details"
- lawnchair_larry 15y agoIt should be noted that anyone can edit wikipedia, and this pejorative term has fortunately been rejected by researchers and vendors alike. Even by Microsoft: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/22/microsoft_coordinated_disclosure/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/22/microsoft_coordinate... I've pasted some other definitions of "responsible disclosure" in a different reply.
- burgerbrain 15y agoJust because they call it "responsible disclosure" doesn't mean it is responsible. I can call myself a shark. That doesn't make it so.
