This is the footnote of each Secunia entry. Is this the value add of their
service? Do they *really* do that for each entry?
Collect: check
Validate: ?
Verify: ?
No matter how you cut it, validating and verifying each and every vuln
seems a stretch. Unless you have a LOT of hardware for testing, a nice
pipe for the constant downloads, and a HUGE budget for the software and
hardware (think Oracle, DB2, Cisco, etc) .. this simply is not possible.
Not to mention the staff present to test all of this.
Thoughts?
