Mailing Lists

There are plenty of mailing lists out there that relate to the topics we are all interested in. Some have very high volume, and others don't. I suggest using a mail filter to seperate inbound mailing list traffic to specific folders so you don't get crushed by volume.

If you know a good mailing list and want it added here, send in the info to blackbeetle at defcon.org

Firewall Wizards

The list is archived as a hypernews archive on http://listserv.icsalabs.com/pipermail/firewall-wizards/ and is being supported by Mailman. Send administrative commands such as subscribe/unsubscribe messages, or requests for archived messages to firewall-wizards-request@listserv.icsalabs.com. If you have questions concerning the list itself, please send comments to proberts@patriot.net.

Bug Traq

One of the original high traffic security mailing lists.  It is a full disclosure forum, and originally covered more unix issues than windows ones.

Send an e-mail message to bugtraq-subscribe@securityfocus.com. The contents of the subject or message body do not matter. You will receive a confirmation request message to which you will have to answer.

NT Bug Traq

A moderated NT mailing list that is a bit better than the ISS list.  It is generally not a full disclosure mailing list, so sometimes the full details are not allowed through.
