Axiomatic Events that Evolved Vulnerability Databases
summary
Narrative traces concrete pivots: the very first ARPANET login causes a first network buffer overflow that exposes design gaps; early Multics bulletins publish named flaws with remedies; Creeper and Reaper set an offense‑defense pattern; the Morris Worm replicates and cripples 6,000 infected hosts and spawns CERT/CC; Eligible Receiver 97 and Solar Sunrise show DoD networks breached in days and 11 systems root compromised; practitioners build ICAT then NVD after funding scrapes, adopting shared ID plus simple description as the interoperable minimum.
