Bugtraq

Bugtraq is a full disclosure mailing list dedicated to issues about computer security. On-topic discussions are new discussions about vulnerabilities, methods of exploitation, and how to fix them. It is a high volume mailingl ist, and almost all new vulnerabilities are discussed there.

Bugtraq was created on Friday the 5th of November, 1993 by Scott Chasin. In the beginning, the mailing list was not moderated, however the signal-to-noise ratio became unacceptably bad. It was moderated on the 5th of June, 1995.

The mailing list was moderated by [Elias Levy]? a.k.a Aleph One from the 14th of May 1996, until he recently stepped down.

Future expanding of article should include:

• Current moderator
• More history of bugtraq
• Why the list was created in the first place
