About Bleeding Edge Threats
What is Bleeding Edge Threats?
Bleeding Edge Threats is a center for Open Security Research. We produce data feeds regarding new and up to the minute threats and research, and a number of other related security projects. Bleeding Edge Threats brings together the most experienced, and the least experienced security professionals.
This site takes Open Research and produces a number of feeds, the most prominent being signatures for Snort, Dragon, and other IDS/IPS platforms. We welcome your contributions, ideas, or just tweaks. What makes this project so effective are both the ideas and peer review of all content. Our overriding goal is to make this process happen quickly and in an Open manner to help all of us as security professionals respond quickly to known and unknown threats.
If you have an idea for a signature, or another security project, please email it to the [[http://lists.bleedingthreats.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/][Bleeding-Sigs mailing list] or
bleeding@bleedingthreats.com. Or join us on IRC at irc.freenode.net in #bleeding-edge
The Goods
A number of other security projects have found a home at Bleeding Edge Threats, and we’re always looking for others that need a home and a community. Many projects in the security space are applicable to small groups, or require community maintenance. We are the home for projects like this, even when the original author no longer has a need to maintain the project themselves.
The signatures can be found here:

Our History
Bleeding Edge came about in early 2003 to satisfy a need in the community. Prior to our formation, security professionals had to monitor a large number of security mailing lists and websites to glean all of the new IDS signatures that were being discussed and distributed. There was no real way to make sure you had the latest version, or contribute effectively a tweak to improve a signature.
Bleeding Edge Threats was founded by Matt Jonkman and James Ashton to fill that need. It is a completely volunteer run project using donated servers and resources. Bleeding Edge has a number of commercial sponsors, these sponsors generally donate the time of their security experts to help write signatures, and mature what is submitted.
