I stick by my original assessment.

As will I. That's the purpose of lists like this I guess - to promote valid
for/against points.

Incidentally, there are a whole bunch of sites that already have this sort
of stuff [1] and projects such as the Metasploit Framework[2] also make
child's play of using known exploits with a relative simple (almost)
point-click usability.

I'll shut up now lest this turn into a religious debate on security through
obscurity and the relatives merits of having tools like nmap in the "wild".
