Message-ID: <45AD0B85.8040006@digitalmunition.com> Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 12:29:41 -0500 From: "K F (lists)" <kf_lists@...italmunition.com> To: Simon Smith <simon@...soft.com> Cc: Untitled <full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk>, contributor <Contributor@...fense.com>, bugtraq@...urityfocus.com Subject: Re: iDefense Q-1 2007 Challenge No offense to iDefense as I have used their services in the past... but MY Q1 2007 Challenge to YOU is to start offering your researchers more money in general! I've sold remotely exploitable bugs in random 3rd party products for more $$ than you are offering for these Vista items (see the h0n0 #3). I really think you guys are devaluing the exploit market with your low offers... I've had folks mail me like WOW iDefense offered me $800 for this remote exploit. Pfffttt not quite. We all know black hats are selling these sploits for <=$25k so why should the legit folks settle for anything less? As an example the guys at MOAB kicked around selling a Quicktime bug to iDefense but in the end we decided it was not worth it due to low pay...
