Call-For-Bugs

 

The Month of Meat-Space Bugs CFB is now officially open! We already have quite a few and can easily fill a month with minimal additional brainstorming and development, however we are more about the quality than the quantity. If someone submits a meatspace bug that is obviously more inventive, novel, or clever than one we already have on the list, that one will get bumped in favor of the better bug! In this way, this month of bugs is also a kind of contest to choose the top 30 or so unique and inventive meatspace bugs.

To submit your bug, please send full details in either ready-to-publish advisory form which we can assign a MOMSB ID to, or full details in a format that we can fit into our standard MOMSB advisory template, to the MOMSB editor:

I)ruid <druid@caughq.org>

Note, if you send us a ready-to-publish advisory, we will retain your original format with the exception of the addition of a MOMSB ID.

In the advisory template, you may have noticed two header fields titled Classification and Attributes. We have come up with a list of meatspace classifications for the bugs to help identify what area(s) of the meatspace a particular bug applies to:

• Mind – Brain hack, memory, psychology, etc.
• Body – The “meat” in meatspace, the human body
• Tech – Interaction with physical technology
• Flora – Plants, fungus, etc.
• Fauna – Animals, insects, etc.
• Microbial – Microscopic life, viral, bacterial, etc.
• Geological – Earth, stone, crystal, etc.
• Weather – Climate, weather, etc.

Whereas “attributes” indicate what type of security issue the bug is as well as it’s properties, such as:

• Local
• Remote
• Authentication
• Bypass
• etc.
