The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2003 – 2001)

This is a continuing short run series of blogs summarizing old drafts and either declaring them dead, while listing them here, or keeping them as they are still relevant.

Part 1 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2010 – 2013)
Part 2 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2014 – 2015)
Part 3 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2016 – 2020)
Part 4 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2001 – 2013)
Part 5 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2014 – 2021)
Part 6 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2013 – 2021)

See Part 5 about a flaw in my methodology that has the year ranges all over the place. =) For this graveyard we have:

• 2003 – Full Disclosure, Is the Debate Dead? – Yes, over 23 years ago but this blog draft had tons of good points at the time, looked trends, vendor perspective, greater goods, cited articles at the time, and more.
• 2009 – Security advisories. Basic info, history, absurd ones, and much more etc.
• 2021 – Steve Christey and “Research Surface” – Steve had an interesting point about the idea of how much of a given program or protocol researchers have actually examined. I replied to his mail with some thoughts and observing how often we see a researcher find e.g. an XSS vuln in one parameter of one script. Did they not test the rest? Did they and found nothing? Almost invariably a different researcher comes along and finds more…
• 2021 – Share the Road – A bit of a rant about sharing the road with cyclists. The ones that, in Denver at least, routinely break the laws by riding on sidewalks opportunistically, routinely blowing through stop signs and lights, and a variety of other infractions. Worse, often in front of police who do nothing. How about they share the responsibility of being good citizens?

Just four this round but it concludes the brief series. What isn’t seen here are the 30 – 50 drafts that still have merit potentially, even years or a decade later. Many about the vulnerability landscape, but many about non-computer “real life” things as well. I’ve converted those over to Google docs, where I do my staging work and writing now. That way they won’t be forgotten about for another decade. I hope.
