Also FYI probably the first large scale broker of exploits was TippingPoint/HP (i don't remember if this thing started before or after HP acquired TippingPoint), they would buy exploits develop signatures for their IPS products then notify the vendors of the affected products and later disclose the vulnerability to the public. http://www.zerodayinitiative.com
