'''Inside-AOL.com''' was the first in a long string of web sites founded around the belief that AOL customers deserved full disclosure of alleged rampant culture of insecurity. |
|||
Despite a series of skirmishes with AOL -- ''Inside-AOL'' leaked pre-release copies of every version of the AOL software released during its existence, and largely pushed AOL security figurehead [[Tatiana Gau]] out of the public eye for several years -- the site enjoyed popularity and acceptance by the tech media, often scooping larger news sites. |
|||
Steered by [[Adrian Lamo]] until its ultimate demise in 2001, ''Inside-AOL'' was the brewing ground for Lamo's full-disclosure mentality. Turning the concept of [[0-day]] compromise on its head, Lamo aggressively forced AOL to address and admit emerging threats as soon as he became aware of them. |
|||
Lamo ceased to maintain ''Inside-AOL'' around the turn of the century. The last post made to the site was a quote by [[Ernesto "Che" Guevara]], reading "Silence is argument continued by other means." |
