Pamela Ferdinand of the Washington post found many people (including ourselves)
had good things to say about the L0pht. Some
include:
- "'If Windows magazine assigned a writer to crack the security of [Windows] NT, everyone
would say it is perfectly acceptable for consumers to be better informed,' said Mike
Godwin, a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
'The only difference is these guys aren't publishing a magazine, they are publishing on
the World Wide Web.'"
- "They forced us, well, encouraged us, to be diligent about providing information to
our customers about how to protect their environment," said Michael Simpson, marketing
director for Novell Inc., a prominent network
software provider. "You won't stop hackers doing what they do. The best thing is to use
their information to your benefit to make your own product stronger."
- "'It's like a challenge for them, which is great for us too,' said Karan Khanna, a
senior security product manager [at Microsoft]
..."
- "One member's wife compares the L0pht to a rock band, and the clandestine clubhouse as
part 'Animal House,' part NASA".
