The PracticalSecurity mailing list serves a discussion forum. The Practical Security forum discusses security measures in the context of real problems in real projects, especially where cryptography is involved. The mailing list is administered by Hagai Bar-El.

This forum discusses applications of cryptographic protocols as well as other security techniques, such as (but not limited to) methods for authentication, data protection, reverse-engineering protection, denial-of-service protection, and digital rights management. The forum also discusses implementation pitfalls to avoid. This forum does not discuss theoretical and/or mathematical aspects of cryptography. Neither does the forum discuss particular vulnerabilities of commercial products, such as what one may find in BugTraq.
