Just because you find vulnerabilities does not

mean you can fix them it does mean you can

exploit them I write these damned web apps

and I don't need fuzzers to break most others

web apps but given a thorough

enough going over I assume it will break mine somewhere

in other words they need to keep this thing until

it reaches the point where it can also fix them dynamically

then release it as a site manager application that

way it might be of some use otherwise it just causes

you to move holes around like MS with IE they are

still doing that BTW.Please I have enough to do.

MOAB

that would be "a physical method or device that provides structural analysis and diagnostics for subsequent forensic examination, in a repeatable and consistent manner, using controlled energy application...specifically designed for testing reinforced or fortified structures".

i'm pretty sure that's what the original DARPA proposal claimed...

Why would this upset IBM?
