IT Security

Launched Q&A site for security professionals to discuss vulnerabilities like XSS, buffer overflows, SQL injection, CSRF, clickjacking, as well as system and network security. Discussions related to OWASP projects, tools, papers, and other materials are encouraged.
At the end of beta, this site had...

6.9
questions
per day
Okay – 15 questions per day on average is a healthy beta, 5 questions or fewer per day needs some work. A healthy site generates lots of good content to make sure users keep coming back.
99%
answered
Excellent – 90% answered is a healthy beta, 80% answered needs some work. In the beta it's especially important that when new visitors ask questions they usually get a good answer.
187
avid users
3,118
total users
Excellent – Every site needs a solid group of core users to assist in moderating the site. We recommend:
  • 150 users with 200+ rep (currently 187 users with 200+ rep)
  • 10 users with 2,000+ rep (currently 20 users with 2,000+ rep)
  • 5 users with 3,000+ rep (currently 11 users with 3,000+ rep)
2.9
answer ratio
Excellent – 2.5 answers per question is good, only 1 answer per question needs some work. In a healthy site, questions receive multiple answers and the best answer is voted to the top.
912
visits/day
Okay – 1,500 visits per day is good, 500 visits per day needs some work. A great site benefits people outside the community. Eventually, 90% of a site's traffic should come from search engines.
