CERT勧告全リスト(1988-2001)

これはhttp://www.cert.org/advisories/ で閲覧できるCERT勧告の 一覧を日本語化したものである。筆者(橋本喜代太 による日本語版が存在する場合は、その リンクを合わせて付けてある。

なお、別所として、 http://www.lac.co.jp/security/information/CERT/に概ね1997年以降の CERT勧告の和訳が存在する。

つまり橋本がやっているのはreinventing the wheel 的な無為な行為と言えばそうなのであるが、(1) 自分の勉強のため、(2) たいていは 別所よりも早く和訳をリリースしている、(3) 翻訳なんて解釈の塊だから複数存在する 方がいいんじゃない?、といった理由からこんなことをしている。
