Re: [Full-Disclosure] Why don't more of us check the source code ? was Re: [Full-disclosure]

The suggestion that "no one is looking at open source code" is
clearly not supportable, I have received bug fixes from well
known names in secure coding, fixing flaws in open source code,
ergo at least one person is looking.

I think you'd find zen-parse was kinda joking there, because he was :)

Possibly, for open source patches, auditors could provide patches more as a
rule, rather than an exception (I am guessing here guys, so yeah). However,
this comes back to the delevoper won't learn to fix it properly and
training and that.

Sincerely,
Andrew Griffiths

P.S Hi zen :)
