  1. and end to bugtraq in sight? by QuantumG · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    woo hoo. bring it on. White hat hacking has been dead since every last one of them sold out to the "security industry". Bugtraq serves the sole purpose of distributing exploits to kiddies to keep the "hacker threat" in the media. Down with bugtraq. Down with bugtraq. Down with bugtraq.
