    Hi,
    
    The following quote from David Litchfield appeared in a front-page
    article in today's Washington Post:
    
       http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57550-2003Jan28.html
    
       "You have this ideal vision of doing something 
       for the greater good," said David Litchfield, 
       managing director of Next Generation Security 
       Software Ltd. of London, who acknowledged that 
       a small bit of his code might have been used in 
       the attack. "I will probably no longer publish such code." 
    
    Perhaps David can put together a longer message for Bugtraq and
    Full-Disclosure on his changing views of publishing proof-of-concept
    code for security vulnerabilities.
