My take on it has always been that sensible, considered disclosure on open - or even closed - forums/lists/blogs etc. probably delivers a greater benefit than the risks it poses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36666403.post-5190807690771455032007-11-30T18:06:00.000-08:002007-11-30T18:06:00.000-08:00Well I was expecting a philosophical post, I'm dis...Well I was expecting a philosophical post, I'm disappointed. You should rename your post "HOW TO get some help - for dummies".<BR/><BR/>Personally I'd like to have your point of view on a subject related to "sharing knowledge". Nowadays most people have a blog or a little website to share what they have found (in a IT context). I can guest that most of the visitors coming on this website have an IT Security background and probably that most of them publish their work over the Internet.<BR/><BR/>But, because they/we are *security expert* our purpose is to protect organisations. So by publishing some of our work in public we give a lot of information about subjects we know and also subjects that we do not know about ...<BR/><BR/>Could this be used by an assailant ? Letting them guess what we can't protect ourselves against could be the other side of the coin of sharing our knowledge on the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36666403.post-10678234049709391812007-11-30T07:49:00.000-08:002007-11-30T07:49:00.000-08:00I think that those are all really good points.

Just one comment on the part of those answering.<BR/><BR/>Tempting as it is to say "that has already been answered here" if you do - include a link to it, sometimes people might not get that one post really answers their question, or, they may not have used the correct search terms.<BR/><BR/>I can only second the request for clear information that leads to where you are now. And things that show that some effort has been applied, tend to increase the desire to help !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
