“Over the past six months, Marcus Ranum, a
well-respected player in the security field and CTO of
Network Flight Recorder Inc., has become a focal point
in one of the most heated debates in the security

of the ethics of security practice, and in so doing,
challenged one of the community’s most sacred of cows:
the way in which security vulnerabilities are disclosed to
the public. In November, Mr. Ranum agreed to share his
views on that issue with Sm@rt Partner.”
