How can I provide links to something I say doesn't exist? :-)
There are lots of guidelines out there, and there are even some relatively well agreed-upon sets of them (Common Criteria "standards", etc.), but there is not a specific single set of specifications that serves as a worldwide standard. That's why I wondered to which "standards" the OP was referring.

2. No offense to SANS, but even as recently as last week,
things they've told people about MS software that were last true inthey just
1996. I don't know if it's an endemic thing in SANS, or if
anything computerhave one or two woefully uninformed people presenting for them, but they have propagated some complete bulls**t presented as fact and people unfortunately sometimes just swallow it up rather than verifying for themselves whether the statements are accurate.
3. To whose "Security compliance standards" do you refer, exactly?
There is not a single set of standards out there for
you don'tsecurity related.
4. To what "vulnerable features" do you refer?
I'm sorry, but your post almost reads like a troll because
list a single specific question, just throw out some FUDabout the .NET framework.
If you have some actual questions, please, do ask them and you'llyou've written
undoubtedly get some well-informed responses. But what
below is unanswerable because it doesn't actually ask anyreal questions.

internetHey group,
I attended the SANS conference for .Net security session.
Based on some lecture's and based on my search findings at
the Securitysearch engines, I wanted to ask if .NET cannot comply to
----------------------------------------------------------------------compliance standards at all. Various issues involved with the vulnerable features of .Net framework scares the hell out of the Security Developers around the world, who are involved with .Net framework. Did any security group consider making any updates and releasing it to M$, has anyone contacted them yet, any progress on fixing these issues and bringing it into compliance.
Sorry if that involved a lot of questions in a single email :-) Was just curious to know what is going around.
Shyaam
PS: this is not any feud against M$ and I am just trying to learn more about this. Please dont respond to this email thinking that I belong to some anti-M$ gang, I am requesting as it has happened before. I need more input and hence I am posting in this group.
