[Dailydave] Some Sums

[Halvar Flake]

Hey all,

apologies for having taken up space in your inboxes. There
will be a followup to this mail once I can confirm that the
stuff I have hashed is not bogus - with the original file. 
This might take a few months though - if it was easily 
confirmed, I would have posted results instead of hashes.

Concerning using your inboxes: Dailydave is a pretty important
list, and as such, people on this list are likely competent and
trustworthy - who would be better suited for notarisation of 
vulnerability information than this list here ? And where would one
find a similarly large group of professionals that could act as witness ?

I admit that strictly speaking I have abused DD with the last mail.
What about a general, publically archived  mailing list where 
people can post hashes of results to follow up later ? Anyone who
has read the matasano blog recently (Ptacek/Rutkowska debate) would
tend to agree that we need something like this.

If people actually follow up with the originals of their hashes a few
months (or a year) later, such a list might be hugely interesting. Even
if they just follow up with "the contents of the document with xxx are
flawed, and I withdraw the hash". 

Anybody up for setting up such a list ?

Anyhow, apologies for wasting your disk space - I will look for a better forum in the future. Full-disclosure maybe ? It seems to be a widely-archived write-only-medium anyhow.

Cheers,
Halvar
