Shame on you for not giving it from the original source!

I wish more people would subscribe/post on that list, it's kinda boring :/

I read it on Slashdot the other day, too slow Thing.

I love reading the mailing lists.  That's where all the stuff starts, then news things and slashdot and other stuff report based on the mailing lists.  Like the internet explorer iframe exploit -- watching it develop there was pretty cool.  The guy who found it, then the guy who wrote exploit code for it, are both active members, and they posted it on Bugtraq and Full Disclosure.  He also complained there how mydoom used it, and he wants to sue the guy that made mydoom for violating his code

I used to be on nmap-hackers, but I never bothered re-subscribing to it. Think I should?

I'm on incidents/bugtraq/webappsec, but I only get the digests. The full lists are too untidy

There's very little traffic at nmap-hackers.  But it's nice to see a question every once in awhile, since I use nmap daily
