{suggestion} new forum - R3c0nna1ssanc3 - 10-28-2009
I think it would be a good idea to make a forum to post security holes in online software (CMSs, forums, etc.), and the fixes for these holes.

I don't think this would be a very popular section. The Website Development section is sufficient in my opinion.

Go to hackforums.

I think any good thing has the potential to be abused, but if if helps more people than it hurts I think it would be worth it.

seems a little too specific to be a forum sections, maybe a subsection to the Website Development

This doesn't need to be here. This is for support, not posting exploits, if you want exploits/holes in software go to hackforums.net.

If someone's site is hacked it may be an issue where support is needed. Not only would this section help people who have been victimized, but it will also be proactive in stopping site exploitation.

You guys misunderstand. He wants there to be a place where Site Admins can check for exploits and how to fix them. It is a legitimate topic. If this does become a sub forum I think it should be VERY broad and vague on how to do the exploits and explain in much more detail how to fix the exploit. This way this site isn't a hot spot for hackers.

I agree completely. The details of how the exploit works should not be included. Just the basic problem and how to fix it.

It doesn't really matter, this subject doesn't require its own section. If there was a section devoted to this, it would be really dead.
