We're also very satisfied subscribers.  And I'm happy to see the stats
since they put us on the good side of the continuum!  :-)

We're happy subscribers. 100% of the findings have been legit: a mix
of old sites that left to languish, a few known troublemakers close to
being retired anyway, and a few rogue student/staff projects. All in
all, it's helped us run a tighter ship. Thanks, Cam!

Howdy all —

Hope everyone’s fall semesters are off to a great start.

I wanted to provide an update to my earlier Dorkbot offer..

We are now serving well over 200 campuses and we’re looking for new
subscribers..  Sign up is really quite easy.
I’d ask for any campuses subscribed to the service to share their
experiences to help encourage those who are unsure about the value of
the service.

Here’s a bit of data from the Dorkbot service thus far:

//////////

(Mar-2017 thru Aug-2017)

26 = the average number of confirmed web application vulnerabilities
per campus
199 = the highest number of vulnerabilities reported to a single campus
205 = total campuses subscribed

2,825 = verified XSS vulnerability reported
596 = verified SQLi vulnerable pages reported
24 = verified LFI vulnerable pages reported
16 = verified OS command injection vulnerable pages reported
4 = verified remote file inclusion vulnerable pages reported
==============
3,465 = Total Vulnerabilities Reported

//////////

More information about Dorkbot can be found at:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

~cam.

signing up for our Dorkbot service?
There is no cost associated and we're currently serving over 180
campuses across the planet.

This service has identified thousands of web application security
vulnerabilities since we expanded our offering to a more targeted
higher education community in March.

Here's more information about Dorkbot:

https://security.utexas.edu/dorkbot

All that we need to get started is a list of the top-level domains
you would like added along with the preferred e-mail address you would
like for us to send our reports to.

We’ll also be happy to share the IPs these services are operated
from in the event you would like to whitelist them should you be
inclined to subscribe to the service.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

thanks,

~cam.
