Hmmm. Your research may stir up the wrath of John McAfee if you
focus on both (a) ZoneAlarm's inabilities and (b) Gibson's
inability to realize it. However, Delio's involvement may keep him
off your tail.
I suspect ZoneAlarm will stall you for as long as they can so they
can study the hole. No big deal -- time is on YOUR side, not
theirs. And yes, I do think you took the better path here. From a
PR perspective, I suggest you write a vulnerability report to
'alert' ZA users about the 'urgent' need to update. Also, think
about co-opting Gibson's fanatics. They fear raw sockets, so urge
them to run LaBrea in an effort to save the Internet from a fate
worse than death.
Let me ponder it some more on my flight home Thursday. Gotta catch
some sleep-eye...
