I said that my list wasn't up-to-date, but included much of 2007. If
you added 400 new exploits in the past 6 months - my mistake for not
making that clear enough. All of the other information about my
process to getting to those numbers was included in the thread. I can
re-quote all of them if necessary.

If I was a paying customer (or ever had been), I probably would have
violated a EULA for talking about such information in the public eye.
I have no intention of contacting you (or anyone at Core) about paying
for your product, and I don't really deal well with customer support
channels.

If you feel that these are opinions, that's fine - but I don't feel that way

If these vulnerability assessment management and network
penetration-testing tools were so important - how come they don't help
a person create the next iPhone expoit, the next QuickTime exploit, or
the almost certainly find the next Java JVM or Adobe Reader
vulnerability?

I suspect you may be providing opinions based on a limited view of the
industry based around your own product.

Cheers,
Andre
