Access to information is a power that holds many and can also be a great advantage. The US Navy has present this idea and so now if predispose to pay a value to all who deliver software failures.
The idea itself is not new, but is the first Since it is put into practice by a well-known military entity.
The idea of the US Navy for this” hunting to failure “is the simple fact that so able to exploit their enemies making use of this software.
This advantage will be significant not only to remove them for good, probably remotely, but also to get to collect information on these and on their plans.
The discovery of this new intention came at a site of military bodies and other state bodies they put their requests for contracts being described very simply, but also very direct.
the vendor Shall Provide the government with a proposed list of available vulnerabilities, 0 -day or N-day (in the older than 6 months old). . . .the Government will select from the list supplied and direct development of exploit binaries.
Despite being described that intend to pay, there is at any time indication of the values that are at issue .
This measure is not new and it is followed by various companies for many years. The idea of rewarding those who find flaws and problems in software lets make them safer while motivating whom the demand.
The intention of the North American Navy follows the same concept, but want to use it different and a much more aggressive way way.
The question is whether some of the many who are dedicated to this task accept that its flaws are exploited, instead of being corrected.
