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. > On Jul 31, 2025, at 08:42, Christopher Morrow via NANOG > <nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote: > > 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..
