Debian defaults /bin/sh to dash and ShellShock demonstrates why that is a good idea. I would be equally stupified if the HMCs and SEs do not have multiple trip wires, preferably home-grown, to phone home at the first hint of intrusion, let alone compromise. I believe the stakes warrant that. We have no way to determine if these things are so, however. -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
