I guess you're kinda screwed if you don't have any friends then, huh?
Maybe this fits under one of your headings already, but not too long ago
everyone was talking about the vendor patches themselves pointing out vulns.
The attacker/tester diffing the before and after to find out what changed
and then building something towards that.

Subject: Different methods of obtaining exploits
I've always wondered about this, I do not know why. But just the
different ways that pen-testers get their exploits/vullnerabilities. I
think it would go something like this:
50% From online security sites
25% Find their own
25% From their friends
Have I left any out? If so, go ahead and add it, this is just about
what I think it would be. This has always interesting me for some
reason.
See ya
