What are the origins of OSVDB?
August 1, 2002 at the Black Hat and Defcon security conferences, two new services and a new partnership for community-based security information sources were announced. OSVDB was one of the new services announced and many members of the security community were involved with the original development. Unfortunately, the momentum of all of the announced services began to crumple and OSVDB was in danger of collapsing.August 1, 2003 at the Defcon security conference a full year after the original announcement of OSVDB, two original team members (Sullo and Forrest) recruited in a new member (Jake) to work on the project. At that point the three breathed new life into the project and many major accomplishments have been achieved. The new three leading members have committed to delivering the database to the community.
