If there’s one thing we can be sure of it’s that an information economy will increase the technological literacy of its participants. As I write this I am sitting in a hotel room in Shanghai behind the Great Firewall of China. Theoretically I can’t access blogging services that carry negative accounts of Beijing’s doings like Wordpress Blogspot and Livejournal nor the image-sharing site Flickr nor Wikipedia. The (theoretically) omnipotent bureaucrats of the local Minitrue have deployed their finest engineering talent to stop me. Well these cats may be able to order political prisoners executed and their organs harvested for Party members but they’ve totally failed to keep Chinese people (and big-nose tourists like me) off the world’s internet. The WT is rattling its sabers at China today demanding that they figure out how to stop Chinese people from looking at Bruce Willis movies without permission ? but the Chinese government can’t even figure out how to stop Chinese people from looking at seditious revolutionary tracts online. And of course as Paris Hilton the Church of Scientology and the King of Thailand have discovered taking a piece of information off the internet is like getting food colouring out of a swimming pool.

ther bug buyers including Netragard and Immunity pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for details of vulnerabilities that security researchers use to test how easily hackers can penetrate a system – and they don’t always share the information immediately with the software’s manufacturer.

Among the items up for bid were detailed descriptions of bugs in 3Com file transfer protocol servers Wordpress software and SAP’s graphical user interface. An unidentified bidder is currently offering 5000 euros (about $6900) for information about one SAP bug. Software vendors have hesitated to offer money for vulnerabilities in their own software for fear that such bounties would only attract attention to their products’ flaws and invite extortion. ne rare exception was Netscape’s bug bounty program in the late 1990s which paid hackers $1000 for significant discoveries. Neither Microsoft nor Cisco offer bounties but they do give credit in their security bulletins to hackers who offer up bugs.
