Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:31:06 +0100 From: n3td3v <xploitable@...il.com> To: full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: security industry software license there should be a central license that people apply for to use software like metasploit. all the *respected* programmers would require the license before you get to download. anyone can apply for a licence, however only those who meet the criteria get given the licence. background checks are done on you to see you are who you say you are. that you're not a cyber criminal or terrorist, and that you're going to be using the software for the intentions of which the product was designed. verbal contracts never hold ground, saying, this software is for testing purposes isn't any guarantee that the bad guys won't use the software. we need a centralised security industry software license scheme so the good guys can take full advantage of the tools made by creators of security software, while shuttering the bad guys out. to rely on a "verbal contract" for security software as a safe guard is no longer enough for the security industry in light of metasploit and other borderline "evil" purpose software. its time that members of the industry work together to form such a scheme, to insure a streamline programme that all the good guys can be part of, only letting the good guys use the software for good purposes. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
