Good Bot, Bad Bot Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) Huh? This is what the forum rules say... Quote Do not post links to exploits, malware, or websites that produce undesired effects to our members. This includes browser crashes, multiple pop-up screens, DOS attacks, or similar results. Links will be removed, threads closed, and members will be warned or suspended. How does posting links that serve up malware, exploits, or crash my browser protect me or further my education? LOL If you want to discuss how malware is designed/created there are much better dedicated forums for that. hellowalkman and goretsky 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting discussions of malware that include links also puts our website in legal jeopardy, hence it is not permitted.

The hosting of the DISCUSSION can put the site into legally contentious grounds! goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, As someone whose day job is literally* to educate and share information about malicious software, I would say that it is far more helpful to explain how the malware works, and share information about to prevent, detect and remediate it, is far more valuable than the sharing of samples of said malware. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky *I just had my semi-annual review about week and a half ago, and education and sharing figured prominently in it. Without getting into numbers, management was very happy with my work during the covered timeframe. xrobwx71, Barney T., adrynalyne and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern operating systems must seriously rethink the way of syscalls. However, most simple solution is downclocking hw, good-ol' bare metal is not that fragile.

Common sense says that this is not a place for linking to and using POC exploits to discuss security. +hedleigh and Dick Montage 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
