I agree, tis a shame. So many places I know that refuse to patch until someone can show them an actual exploit that goes crashing through their defenses. After all, "we have a firewall in place". After all, "...Microsoft (or insert almost any other vendor) says they are secure". After all, "why would someone hack us?". Unfortunately they don't realize that just because I don't have a tool that will do this doesn't mean that someone out on the net doesn't.

A lot of people do not have the skills to transform theoretical vulnerabilities into practical exploits. With the lack of proof that the vulnerability can really be exploited, a lot of sysadmins will decide not to patch, leaving the holes in tact for the real blackhats, that have possession of the malicious code anyway.... maarten > this is an anouncement that i personally have no more intention to publish > any _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
