Dumbass nerd infighting. The hacker

Dumbass nerd infighting. The hacker clan that discovered a vulnerability in telnet on BSD and created an exploit to demonstrate the extent of the bug are all hottenbothered because Bugtraq, a venerable security-alert mailinglist posted the exploit, despite a header that forbade such action. Now, the leet haxors want to sue the company that publishes BugTraq, despite the fact that the exploit is circulating all over the net in the usual places — irc, gnutella, etc.– because they're worried that publication of their exploit exposes them to liabiity if it's used to trash a server. In reality, I suspect that this is more security geek schisming — every security guy i know has something disparaging to say about {bugtraq|comp.risks|Bruce Schneier|etc}. Near as I can make out, it all comes down to dick-swinging. Link Discuss
