So here’s the real 44-million dollar question, where do we go from here? Prototyping? Design?

This type of community sounds really beneficial for everyone involved. And I think scholar brings up some really good points, particularly points 3 and 4.

Sounds like a great idea. We should look into the reasons this hasn’t been done before….
Instead of getting into that discussion, I’d rather contribute these ideas:
1. It seems that it can quickly break down into two camps of core skills: network analysis and malware analysis
2. Instead of trying to be exhaustive with malware or network attacks, we should pick just a few and pour a lot of energy into them. I think a lot of projects quickly become overwhelmed when they try to be a clearinghouse of malware, none of which is analyzed further than a sandbox.
3. While tagging and such does help with collaboration, the community is probably best benefited by thoughtful analysis and write up, specifically when it comes to how to use the tools. (teach a man/woman to fish…)
4. We need to find a way to integrate new people into teams and force them to work together long enough to build up basic skills. This is the only way to scale beyond our small club of friends. <- a lot more thought needs to go into this point, but i rather be wrong and say something, than to wait at this point.
