Well the PuTTY vulnerability needs a trojaned ssh server to work anyway. I don't know why you break into a unix ssh server to hack windows boxes... it'd be easier to just start with the windows boxes, hahaha. And if the ssh server i'm logging into is compromised, the Windows box is the LAST thing i'm worried about. Kinda like in "Speed" after Keanu crashed the guy's Jag then asked to borrow his phone, the guy says 'Take the damn phone!'. ray
