Oh, I agree, but you seem to be finding fault with the tool. I find fault witht he professional using the tool. It seems to me, that many of us forget to test for repeatability, and fewer know how to do to that properly. My opinion of a security research trying to make a name for himself, and there's no doubt that's what this episode was all about, should have enough intellectual rigor to attack the problem from all angles before "publishing" findings. If I'm a client of NetSec Consulting (firm he founded), and I catch wind of this, I won't be a client for very long.
