Talk:Full disclosure (computer security)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This entry is nominally correct, but it hardly takes into account both sides of the story. Life is much more complex than the simplistic binary choice which is presented in this entry (basically the two choices are presented as anti-social and misguided vs. just the way we know it must be done).

There as yet has been very little research done on what level or process of vulnerability dissemination provides the optimum benefit to society.
Anyone claiming to know a single answer that suffices for all instances should be prepared to substantiate the reasons.
It's also unfortunate that this particular article doesn't actually provide more information on the locksmith's debate from the 19th century. It is alluded to, but not discussed. Traditionally, the locksmiths have been against disclosure, not for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.149.1.194 (talk • contribs) 04:29, 8 April 2003 (UTC)

Well, the full-disclosure movement in internet security really took off in the early 1990s with the creation of the bugtraq mailing list, in response to several holes that were being actively, and widely, exploited. It was hotly debated at that time. This gives a pretty good example, and it may be possible to dig up some links to mailing list archives with good quotes... - Jmason 19:03, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
