It's
kind of hard to admit that your current strategy leads to a dead end… Hard,
but liberating.
I initially
started this blog because I was searching for a way to sort through an insane
amount of tools I collected over the years - so we can all weed out the irrelevant
and stick with what works.
Obviously,
things got a little complicated, and after doing double shifts and spending half
my nights over the past 4 years on comparisons, I realize now that I only
covered 60-70 tools.
Sure,
I had a good reason to do so - learning curve, comprehensiveness, accuracy, credibility,
evolution… but the numbers don't lie.
As
much as I like the idea of a one man army, the current rate is NOT what I
expected, and to achieve something greater, I'll need to get some resources and
some help (yeah yeah, mental too).
Nope,
that DOES NOT mean that I'm about to stop any of my planned activities,
researches or benchmarks. Giving
up is for wusses.
It
does mean, however, that I'm going to make some changes that will enable me to
cover more, even if I have to make some decisions I was dreading and trying
to postpone.
So
what I'm planning for 2013 is to branch out and cover additional types of
tools & products, in addition to vulnerability scanners.
That
means updating WAVSEP with some hybrid issues, becoming less of a control
freak, let go the leash I was so inclined on keeping, and probably even
creating additional comparison platforms.
Yep…
