Why hacking contests, 'month-of' projects don't help

By Bill Brenner
Excerpt:
"As for the cash prizes for finding and disclosing bugs, I don't think it's the right approach to improve security. The right thing to do is adopt a scientific methodology for research, providing information that can be tested and repeated by someone else, provide peer reviews of information and follow a set of steps. We should focus on that instead of trying to build a market for vulnerabilities."
