- http://www.sans.org/top20
Description: SANS Top 20 Vulnerabilities. This group compiles a list periodically to inform the community of the top 20 threats to our information systems (top ten 10 Windows and top ten 10 Unix).
- http://www.cve.mitre.org/
Description: This site is where all security threats become categorized to create a common labeling system and eliminate redundant warnings. The goal of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Database (CVE) is to make it easier to share data across separate vulnerability databases and security tools. While CVE may make it easier to search for information in other databases, CVE should not be considered as a vulnerability database on its own merit.
