The '''Open Sourced Vulnerability Database''' ('''OSVDB
==History==
The project was started in August 2002 at the [[Black Hat Briefings|Blackhat]] and [[DEF CON]] Conferences by several industry notables (including [[H. D. Moore]], rain.forest.puppy, and others). Under mostly-new management, the database officially launched to the public on March 31, 2004.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.networkworld.com/article/3053613/open-source-vulnerabilities-database-shuts-down.html |title=Open-source vulnerabilities database shuts down |first=Jon |last=Gold |work=Network World |date=7 April 2016 |access-date=22 January 2020}}</ref> The original implementation was written in PHP by Forrest Rae (FBR). Later, the entire site was re-written in Ruby on Rails by David Shettler.
The [[Open Security Foundation]] (OSF) was created to ensure the project's continuing support.
On 5 April 2016, the database was shut down, while the blog was initially continued by Brian Martin.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://blog.osvdb.org/2016/04/05/osvdb-fin/ |title=OSVDB: Fin |date=5 April 2016 |access-date=22 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160528152631/https://blog.osvdb.org/2016/04/05/osvdb-fin/ |archive-date=28 May 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The reason for the shut down was the ongoing commercial but uncompensated use by security companies.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Kovacs|first=Eduard|title=McAfee Issues Response to OSVDB Accusations Regarding Data Scraping|url=https://news.softpedia.com/news/McAfee-Issues-Response-to-OSVDB-Accusations-Regarding-Data-Scraping-441323.shtml|access-date=2020-08-15|website=softpedia|language=english}}</ref>
