Packet Storm ( www.packetstorm.securify.com ) is a security site with an interesting mission statement: “To ensure that Packet Storm is a security resource that provides the mechanism for both the underground and the corporate communities to converge and direct their efforts towards sharing security information.” Describing themselves as the largest and most up-to-date security database in the world, about half their content is submitted from interested parties. Accepting the fact that information must be shared in order to crack the myriad of security threats, Packet Storm follows a strict policy of full-disclosure, publishing all pertinent information that they receive on security-related materials. In fact, they openly invite all of us to submit relevant information or well-written articles for inclusion in their archives and new files section.
