A. Mailing lists will help keep you up to date with all the latest bugs,
exploits and information on security. Hackers like to keep up to date with this information so maybe you should too. If you have and interest and a
need for security I personally do recommend joining mailing lists, but do be prepared for the amount of mail you will receive. Digest version of mailing
lists are also available which send only the general highlights from a given period of time. Below are two of the most popular mailing lists for NT
security.
- NTBugtraq
NTBugtraq is a mailing list for the discussion of security exploits and
security bugs in Windows NT and its related applications.
