Perhaps it is simple. Lots of people has moved on to other tools, forums, and communities. That is a good thing. I’m on Cisco-nsp and Juniper-nsp, but don’t see much activity. I tap into other communities when I need help (or fire up my LLMs trained for network engineering). As Chris mentioned, nsp-sec is retired. Most of the old timers are on other more effective tools/communities for TLP: RED and TLP: AMBER collaboration. Some of the original nsp-sec crew are now retired. If you are new to network security and looking for a “vetting path,” apply to get into FIRST NetSec SIG (https://www.first.org/global/sigs/netsec/). Another path is active participation in the NANOG security tracks (don’t just sit there, talk to the speakers and the ones who ask questions). Finally, a shout out to Chris. NSP-SEC was one of the very really “Security Trust Groups.” Chris sharing details of attacks, working to get other operators talking/sharing, and “trusting” that ‘compeditors’ were not going to abuse the trust demonstrated to many that we can have “security trust groups” that take collective action. Thanks Chris.

erp... so... the various 'my hardware/software don't do what i want' *-nsp lists @ puck, were very different from nsp-sec @ puck.
Yes, barry spun down (with the community's mostly-support) the nsp-sec list(s). The *-nsp lists appear to still have mailman content on puck.. (I can't say that I've subscribed to any but juniper-nsp over the years? and can't recall where that goes ;()
i do see mail logs for cisco-nsp happening today.. I think it's alive, I'd check with Jared though about what's going on? :)

As Barry mentioned, there are spin-off groups that now carry the torch for the work that the original NSP-* lists pioneered. Take a look at FIRST’s NetSec SIG: https://www.first.org/global/sigs/netsec/
I cannot see any mailing lists there. Did I miss something?
