Subject: Re: SecNiche : Microsoft Internet Explorer Pop up
 Blocker Bypassing and Dos Vulner


I wonder why we can't find Aditya K Sood in any of the security list even though he has made so many public disclosures.

See:-

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Asecunia.com+aditya+sood

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aosvdb.org+aditya+sood

Is it because these lists dislike Aditya or is it because they find the vulnerabilities to be false while verification?

AFAIK OSVDB has a system of tagging vulnerabilities as Myth/Fake. I wonder why the disclosures published by Aditya are missing in OSVDB. OSVDB should add these vulnerabilities and properly classify them or tag them as fake. Anyone from OSVDB here who can respond?
