Ärende: Re: eeye's irresponsible self-serving behavior

quoted with "As for Rich's attitude about eeye being irresponsible," as = if
what followed had some relevance.

       Do you not see how silly this is?  To support a claim that eeye =
is not irresponsible you use a statement from eeye that they are not =
irresponsible.  Do you really expect them to say they are culpable?

    Rich

      "Geo" <georger@nls.net> wrote in message =
news:42d695b7@w3.nls.net...
      No, I'm claiming that they could have taken control of almost =
every windows
      computer that connects to the internet at any time since the =
"information
      anarchy" program started allowing Microsoft to take 188 days to =
patch the
      most critical of exploits. Prior to that their window from
      discovery/publishing to patch was at most 2 weeks. But now with =
standard
      patch times taking roughly half a year there is always a root =
exploit or two
      that they know about that is unpatched. At the momemt there are 4 =
for
      windows and several more for other very common windows programs =
and those
      are just the ones eeye discovered, not the full batch of all known =
root
      level exploits for windows.

      As for Rich's attitude about eeye being irresponsible, this =
article about
      the "information anarchy" program shows eeye's initial stance on =
things
      pretty clearly.

      http://www.securityfocus.com/news/281

      "What's being created here is an information cartel," says Elias =
Levy,
      former moderator of the Bugtraq security mailing list, a standard =
outlet for
      'full disclosure' security information. "It actually benefits =
security
      vendors to have limited vulnerability information, because it =
makes them
      look better in the eyes of their customers," says Levy. (Levy is =
CTO of
      SecurityFocus).

      Under the plan, member companies would share detailed information =
during the
      30-day grace period with law enforcement agencies, infrastructure =
protection
      organizations, and "other communities in which enforceable =
frameworks exist
      to deter onward uncontrolled distribution." The last category =
would allow
      member companies to share details with clients under a =
non-disclosure
      agreement, and to share details with one another. "They're not =
going to ban
      it among themselves," says Levy. "They might be willing to limit =
the public
      access to this information, but I highly doubt that they'll limit =
it among
      each other."

      Marc Maiffret, co-founder of eEye Digital Security, agrees, and =
charges that
      the coalition was formed for the commercial advantage of its =
members, rather
      than the well-being of the Internet.

      "If it becomes hard to release vulnerabilities, that's a good way =
for
      Microsoft to get rid of some embarrassment," says Maiffret.

      Maiffret's company is responsible for discovering some of the most =
serious
      Microsoft security holes in recent years -- vulnerabilities in the =
company's
      IIS web server product that allow attackers to gain remote control =
of the
      system. He says eEye cooperates with vendors, and doesn't release =
advisories
      until a company has had a chance to produce patches for the =
security hole.
      But Maiffret rejects the idea of holding back on technical =
details, and
      warns that the new coalition may alienate independent security =
researchers.

      "People have to do it Microsoft's way or they'll have this group =
telling
      them that they're acting irresponsibly," says Maiffret. "It's =
going to drive
      people into the underground, and could lead to more people =
breaking into
      computers."
