FrSIRT Puts Exploits Up for Sale

Independent security research outfit FrSIRT.com is putting its database of security exploits behind the paid curtain.

FrSIRT, previously known as K-Otik, has shut down the public exploits section of its Web site and announced that all exploits and proof-of-concept code will be sold through its subscription-based VNS (Vulnerability Notification Service).

The 3-year-old company, which operates out of Montpellier, France, is considered the go-to place for finding exploit code for known software vulnerabilities and has been a thorn in the side of many vendors, including Microsoft.
