Noone takes a google group serious get a real domain.
the n3td3v thing is just a site thrown together so they can
put up adsense and make some cash. It looks totally unprofessional,
yet they claim its build from "software developers, international hackers, 
security researchers, online media journalists, system administrators, 
incident response professionals, top thinkers and security aware peoples"
and not even one of them has skills in html or even 10 bucks to buy a domain?
yeah right......... :-)

  Thats a complete exaduration actually, theres no query on the group that would come up with 5,000 results. The n3td3v 
group engine is pretty accurate, and displays perfect technical detail documentation, and additionally, (if required) 
can offer related and even off shoot background discussion into a particular vulnerability at the time of its 
disclosure. To say an ntp search would come up with 5,000 unrelated results is completely barbaric. I think the source 
to your hatred is with the founder ('n3td3v') rather than the group its self which offers a great resource to anyone in 
the security field. Of course, if you can provide conclusive evidence to the contrary, do get in touch with the list, 
providing indepth audit information relating to your claim.

    Geez. Somebody hand me a sharp wooden stake, a good mallet, and some garlic
    and holy water just in case... ;)

    I'm sure you can *search* for anything you want there. The value of a database
    is, however, directly related to its ability to return useful information.

    5,000 postings that all say "wow leet hole in ntp a few years ago" is worth
    nowhere near as much as one detailed technical posting of how that exploit
    leveraged a one-byte buffer overrun into a complete rooting of the box....
