General Security Lists8lgm (Eight Little Green Men)To join, send e-mail to majordomo@8lgm.org and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write:
Group of hackers that periodically post exploit scripts for various Unix bugs. (Footnote: 8lgm originally stood for: Eight Legged Groovin' Machine) Academic FirewallsTo join, send e-mail to majordomo@net.tamu.edu and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write:
This is an unmoderated list maintained by Texas A&M University. Its purpose is to promote the discussion and use of firewalls and other security tools in an academic environment. It is complementary to the Firewalls list maintained by Brent Chapman (send subscription requests to Majordomo@GreatCircle.COM) which deals primarily with firewall issues in a commercial environment. Academic environments have different political structures, ethical issues, expectations of privacy and expectations of access. Many documented incidents of cracker intrusions have either originated at or passed through academic institutions. The security at most universities is notoriously lax or even in some cases completely absent. Most institutions don't use firewalls because they either don't care about their institution's security, they feel firewalls are not appropriate or practical, or they don't know the extent to which they are under attack from the Internet. At Texas A&M University we have been using a combination of a flexible packet filter, intrusion detection tools, and Unix security audit utilities for almost two years. We have found that simple firewalls combined with other tools are feasible in an academic environment. Hopefully the discussion on this list will begin to raise the awareness of other institutions also. AlertTo join, send e-mail to request-alert@iss.net and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write: subscribe alert To remove, send e-mail to request-alert@iss.net and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write: unsubscribe alert This is a moderated list in the effort to keep the noise to a minimal and provide quality security information. The Alert will be covering the following topics:
Best of SecurityTo join, send e-mail to best-of-security-request@suburbia.net with the following in the body of the message:
REASONS FOR INCEPTION In order to compile the average security administrator it was found that the compiler had to parse a foreboding number of exceptionally noisy and semantically-content-free data sets. This led to exceptionally high load averages and a dramatic increase in core entropy. Further, the number, names and locations of this data appears to change on an almost daily basis; requiring tedious version control on the part of the mental maintainer. Best-of-Security is at present an un-moderated list. That may sound strange given our stated purpose of massive entropy reduction; but because best often equates with "vital" and the moderator doesn't have an MDA habit it is important that material sent to this list be delivered to its subscribers' in as minimal period of time as is (in)humanly possible. If you find *any* information from *any* source (including other mailinglists, newsgroups, conference notes, papers, etc) that fits into one of the acceptable categories described at the end of this document then you should *immediately* send it to "best-of-security@suburbia.net". Do not try and predict whether or not someone else will send the item in question to the list in the immediate future. Unless your on a time-delayed mail vector such as polled uucp or the item has already appeared on best-of-security, mail the info to the list! Even if it is a widely deployed peice of information such as a CERT advisory the proceeding argument still applies. If the information hasn't appeared on this list yet, then SEND IT. It is far better to run the risk of minor duplication in exchange for having the information out where it is needed than act conservatively about occasional doubling up on content. BugtraqTo join, send e-mail to LISTSERV@NETSPACE.ORG and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write:
This list is for *detailed* discussion of UNIX security holes: what they are, how to exploit, and what to do to fix them. This list is not intended to be about cracking systems or exploiting their vunerabilities. It is about defining, recognizing, and preventing use of security holes and risks. Please refrain from posting one-line messages or messages that do not contain any substance that can relate to this list`s charter. Please follow the below guidelines on what kind of information should be posted to the Bugtraq list:

Discussions range from policy discussions, awareness programs, virus protection, change control, privileges, monitoring, risk assessments, auditing, business resumption, etc. VirusTo join, send e-mail to LISTSERV@lehigh.edu and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write:
It is an electronic mail discussion forum for sharing information and ideas about computer viruses, which is also distributed via the Usenet Netnews as comp.virus. Discussions should include (but not necessarily be limited to): current events (virus sightings), virus prevention (practical and theoretical), and virus related questions/answers. The list is moderated and digested. That means that any message coming in gets sent to me, the editor. I read through the messages and make sure that they adhere to the guidelines of the list (see below) and add them to the next digest. Weekly logs of digests are kept by the LISTSERV (see below for details on how to get them). For those interested in statistics, VIRUS-L is now up to about 2400 direct subscribers. Of those, approximately 10% are local redistribution accounts with an unknown number of readers. In addition, approximately 30,000-40,000 readers read comp.virus on the USENET. Virus AlertTo join, send e-mail to LISTSERV@lehigh.edu and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write:
What is VALERT-L? It is an electronic mail discussion forum for sharing urgent virus warnings among other computer users. Postings to VALERT-L are strictly limited to warnings about viruses (e.g., "We here at University/Company X just got hit by virus Y - what should we do?"). Followups to messages on VALERT-L should be done either by private e-mail or to VIRUS-L, a moderated, digested, virus discussion forum also available on this LISTSERV, LISTSERV@LEHIGH.EDU. Note that any message sent to VALERT-L will be cross-posted in the next VIRUS-L digest. To preserve the timely nature of such warnings and announcements, the list is moderated on demand (see posting instructions below for more information). What VALERT-L is *not*? A place to to anything other than announce virus infections or warn people about particular computer viruses (symptoms, type of machine which is vulnerable, etc.). WWW SecurityTo join, send e-mail to www-security-request@nsmx.rutgers.edu and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write:
The list is maintained by the www-security team of Network Services, Rutgers University Telecommunications Division. www-security is the official mailing list of the IETF Web Transaction Security Working Group. While there are many approaches to providing security services in the Web, most of the current work is concerned with securing the HyperText Transport Protocol. Because of (1) the great need for quick implementation of Web security services, (2) HTTP-level solutions cover a wide range of WWW applications, and (3) the IETF is a proven forum for promoting standards to vendors and the international networking community, we suggest that the list focus and development of Internet standards and related documents for secure services within HTTP.
