> Project Sonar Kicks Off Crowdsourced, Internet-Wide Security Scanning

Crowdsourcing is being used for everything from start-up funding to news reporting, and it makes sense that the idea would make it to the security community. Rapid7 has kicked off Project Sonar, a collaborative effort to improve security through the active, comprehensive analysis of public networks. This includes running enormous scans across public internet-facing systems, organizing the results and sharing the data with the information security community.
