Someone writes “I was reading the interview H D Moore gave about Metasploit 3.0, and I was
surprised by his answer about his point of view: “I do what I can to prevent this from coming to pass in the United States, by donating to the EFF and trying to make a strong case for the usefulness of exploit code. In the US, exploit regulation would kill research and lead to a degrading state of security for all US companies. Vendors patch because exploits are available, without “above ground” exploits that anyone can access, there is no motivation to patch flaws.”
