Bugtraq is partly responsible for how a lot of us little hackers grew up. It helped give birth to Full Disclosure, which became an ethos that shaped our squishy little brains.

Sometimes you need to do what the powerful call wrong in order to make something right. This idea grew, until a tiny army of little newbie black hats came forth, incompetently causing mischief on the net. This scared executives enough that infosec eventually became a thing. At first we were all just nerdy degenerates getting wasted in a shitty hotel in Las Vegas. And now those degenerates are working in the White House.

Fuck Symantec, and Long Live the 0-day.
