Attrition Code

Attrition Code is a code for security-oriented website attrition.org. From their FAQ:

What is attrition.org?

In the early days, we received this question frequently. Each time we gave a different answer depending on mood and frame of mind. Some people got a line or two summary ending with “just check it out”, while others get a five minute diatribe trying to explain what it is. Rather than write a FAQ, we originally wrote a ‘Why’ page that attempted to give the quickie answer to this question. Even with that page, it wasn’t enough many times due to the varied nature of content.

Put simply, it is “an eclectic collection of general internet and computer security resources”. That’s what we have called it for over twenty years. Originally, the content was driven by half a dozen core users between the primary pages and each user’s personal page. As staff has changed, content has remained more static as user pages typically vanished and weren’t replaced with new content. Instead, the new users would contribute to the primary pages.
