Misses, Misters, I would want to inform you that the security of the Internet, that is discussed in the NSP-SEC mailing-list [0] by a selected group of vendors (Cisco, Juniper & Arbor) [1] and operations contacts of the big ISPs [2] : 1) applies the "Security through Obscurity" paradigm that has been proven inefficient [3]. To quote [4] : "Please do not Forward, CC, or BCC this E-mail outside of the nsp-security community. Confidentiality is essential for effective Internet security counter-measures." First question : Why was I able to find this mail on the Internet if it should be kept secret ? 2) includes [5] a) Spammers (Rodney Joffe) [6] [7] b) Freelancers (Gadi Evron) [8] [9] Second question : Do you still ask yourself why the Internet is so insecure ?
