'''Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)''' is an independent and [[open source]] [[database]] created by and for the community. The goal of the project is to provide accurate, detailed, current, and unbiased technical information on [[Information security|security]] vulnerabilities. The project promotes greater, open collaboration between companies and individuals, eliminates redundant works, and reduce expenses inherent with the development and maintenance of in-house vulnerability databases.
 
Its goal is to provide accurate, unbiased information about security vulnerabilities in computerized equipment. The core of OSVDB is a relational database which ties various information about security vulnerabilities into a common, cross-referenced [[open security]] data source. As of April, 2013, the database catalogs over 90,000 vulnerabilities.
