Did people power get rid of Gadi Evron from Full-Disclosure? The security researcher and robot network expert from Israel hasn't been seen on Full-Disclosure mailing list since the "What is a 0-day?" fallout between the researcher and members of the security community, including me, n3td3v.
Concerns are growing in the security community over Evron's health, after a shocking exit from Full-Disclosure mailing list after mass arguments over his comments cross posted between Full-Disclosure and the moderated Bugtraq mailing list. On the n3td3v stance, n3td3v did not want Bugtraq moderators to broadcast his argument on the Securityfocus based mailing list, because it was deemed by n3td3v to be lame and on the bigger picture, the argument wasn't mission critical. n3td3v sees Bugtraq's role to be only for mission critical discussion to protect core infrastructure systems from cyber attacks where economic and public saftey could be at risk in relation with corporate and national security matters. While Gadi Evron was right to leave Full-Disclosure while tensions between security researchers calmed down, n3td3v is now offering Gadi Evron an olive branch to return to Full-Disclosure on the basis he keeps the lame chatter away from Bugtraq and focuses his career of mailing lists postings to be restricted to Full-Disclosure, Funsec, Nanog and any other mailing list accept Bugtraq. Unless he is posting an advisory on behalf of someone else under the SecuriTeam or BeyondSecurity brands, he has no place being on mission critical list Bugtraq at SecurityFocus. So Gadi Evron, no hard feelings, we don't hate you, we just wanted you not to discuss what you discussed on Bugtraq relating to "defining 0-day". At the time you may of thought it was a good idea but looking back you must see now how lame it was, unless you have mental health issues. I am your friend Gadi Evron, I respect your work as a robot network expert and I want you to return to Full-Disclosure. If you come back, I will offer you protection, protection to which I already offer to *Valdis*.Kletnieks. What I mean by protection is, if anyone says anything bad about you, I will defend you, as long as you're not being uber lame like you were on Bugtraq over the "defining 0-day" thread. So Gadi Evron, if you want freeway to speak on Full-Disclosure with n3td3v backing, I will make sure you get full protection from the trolls... its upto you. You can come back to Full-Disclosure and continue being attacked, or you can have my backing and your life will be a whole lot eaiser. If you return to Bugtraq with more uber lameness, then the deal will be cut short, and Full-Disclosure regulars will swallow you up whole. Remember Gadi Evron, power comes at a price and the price is you keep off Bugtraq or expect more public criticism by me, and no protection from me when others decide to criticize you, And don't under estimate the damage done to your self reputation already over matters, so I suggest you take this olive branch and return to Full-Disclosure discussing elite matters regarding cyber security and keeping off Bugtraq is a must see. To be in a position of power on the mailing lists requires the backing of n3td3v, and if you agree then you'll have full power backing by me to continue your cyber politcal agenda on the mailing lists, without n3td3v criticism. Thank you, n3td3v
