infotex has always been concerned about making sure
that our managed services can address Day Zero threats
and vulnerabilities.  In this aspect, we have been a leader
in the industry.  In 2003 we founded bleedingsnort.com
through the leadership of Matt Jonkman, CISSP.

Through 2006 we maintained, hosted, and managed 
bleedingsnort.com.  This clearinghouse of signatures for
snort, the now defacto standard as an open source
network traffic sniffer, quickly grew in membership to
include many of our competitors.  The fact is that the
production of signatures using the open source concept is the quickest way to develop mature signatures for vulnerabilities and threats hours after their discovery.

In 2007 bleedingsnort.com changed to bleedingthreats.net.  Though Matt Jonkman left infotex to take this clearinghouse to a new level, we still remained a sponsor of the site. 

Matt migrated the concept to emergingthreats.net in 2008.
