HUMOR

• Tom's House of Awesome CVEs

  Did you see that the U.S. is no longer funding the national security CVE program?

  I’m glad to see they’re doing away with the “neutral third party” and going with a free market solution.

  I’m starting my own CVE service. Here’s my price-list:

  • Regular CVE’s: $1,000 evaluation fee
  • CVE’s where you get to pick the number: $10,000 (though certain numbers will be sold at auction… how much would you pay to be responsible for CVE-69?)
  • Special packages:
    • $100,000/year and your company’s products will get a lower severity.
    • $10,000,000/year and all CVEs related to your product will be rejected as irreproducible.

  I accept Bitcoin, Venmo, and cash in unmarked envelopes slid under my door.
