New Site Aims To Be iTunes For Exploits 55
Trailrunner7 writes "It's been tried before, but NSS Labs founder Rick Moy says his company's new Exploit Hub — a store front for exploit code — can work. In an interview, he explains why the current market for exploits doesn't work for the good guys, and why zero-day exploits don't help anyone. Above-board markets for software vulnerabilities have been around for close to a decade, but previous efforts to market exploits have had mixed results. The business of selling exploits versus vulnerabilities is fraught with danger, and organizations like WabiSabiLabi have operated eBay-style marketplaces for zero-day exploits for years, but haven't seen exploit writers beating a path to their door. The need for an above-board marketplace that can compete with the black market surely exists, but getting it to work is another matter entirely."

If you have to bring rings into the discussion, it's not a hooker. Just sayin'...
iTunes for exploits? (Score:4, Funny)
So you're going to start out selling exploits for 99 cents? And then create a(n expensive) portable device that people can buy to run your exploits on? And then become the market leader? And then introduce new models of your hardware? And then create an "exploit" store sdk so people can sell there own exploits? And them submit to exploit creators demands that the price be raised to $1.29? And then remove color from the user interface?
