Forwarded from: Robert Wayne To: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Cc: isn () attrition org, isn () c4i org Hi there, I am a usual reader of all the major security lists and I laughed (in a way) to the posting about "Wendy's order system"... I laughed because at first glance I thought it was funny, but then I realised that what I was reading was a "vulnerability" on a security list, so it wasn't clear to me what that stupid joke was doing there. Ok, it's true.. full-disclosure is not moderated, everybody can post, yeah yeah, blah blah blah, but still: It is (meant to be) a security list. Am I wrong?. Please note that this is not just about another silly off-topic: someone deliberately posted a vulnerability, perfect in its structure, with all the right fields in the right place, on more than one security list. There is more than off-topic here. Ok, the content was clearly an hoax but it denotes a problem that could be much more dangerous... Let me point out that, as claims the anonymous guy that posted the (two?) articles, I'm not affiliated with mi2g. I thought about not replying and wasting my time, but given the fact that your stupid postings are going on, and some other people give you even credit for that, I would like to say something as well. Hope you don't mind. Hope the list doesn't mind. It is not something off-topic in my opinion, because it is strictly related to the way the security information are diffused so it is inherently about security. Before I proceed with the security issues related to the original post about "Wendy", I would like to explore some of the points you have made: ---------------------
