Hi Security Basics,

First question from us; sorry if it's the wrong list.

Without naming names, where might we find the best ever non-U.S. white hats for peer reviewing a ~100 page paper on a 
possible use of the Linksys/Broadcom zero day published by Defense Code on January 31, 2013?  Link (PDF): 
http://www.defensecode.com/public/DefenseCode_Broadcom_Security_Advisory.pdf

Could we send an invitation or announcement to this list, for example?  So far, no Americans want to touch us but one 
European has said yes to being a peer reviewer-- at no charge!  Apparently this issue is that controversial, but also 
that interesting.

What it looks like from here is that a leading American defense contractor and a U.S. Federal agency may have 
contributed to the Linksys/Broadcom exploit.  But that's one reason we need peer reviewers-- we need to be sure before 
just announcing that.

Email us at your own risk!

Thank you,

Andrew Watters
