OSVDB (Open Sourced Vulnerability Database) or otherwise open code database of vulnerabilities, a webσελίδα who archived them vulnerabilities software, decided to shut down after 12 years of operation and a collection of over 100.000 vulnerabilities.
The announcement was yesterday, and the database immediately shut down. All links are redirected to the site's blog. In a brief statement, site administrators point out that the site will not come back.
Brian Martin, managing director OSVDB, said it was not an easy decision, as they have struggled for over ten years at a personal cost to always have it online.
The Open Sourced Vulnerability Database blog will remain open and will continue to provide thoughts and opinions on security-related issues, particularly software vulnerabilities.
The Open Sourced Vulnerability Database launched 2004 from the Open Security Foundation, a nonprofit organization set up next year.
Her goal was to provide free estimates for vulnerabilities software, regardless of their origin and manufacturer.
