Wireless Vulnerability Database Launches

Three organizations have teamed up to create a standard database of wireless threats: Every industry now seems to have its own threats database, and there are good reasons to standardize on names, behavior, and vendor responses. CERT started over 17 years ago to help assess Internet vulnerabilities; with years of wireless attacks in the wild, the Wireless Vulnerabilities and Exploits (WVE) site is overdue.

Network Chemistry, a wireless network security firm, is one of three sponsors, along with training and certification firm CWNP, and the Center for Advanced Defense studies. The editorial board includes highly credible members. The site perhaps softlaunched earlier, but the formal press release went out today.
