-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 People (this means you) like to think hard about game changing events in the world of hacking. But just staying on the treadmill of exploit after exploit can be a game changing event. For example, today you may have noticed that Intevydis (http://www.intevydis.com/vulndisco.shtml) released as part of their latest exploit pack, some exploits for all the major access point/mini-router firmwares. Not CSRF "exploits" or XSS "exploits". I mean "Here's a shell, now you get to install new programs and muck with the router's configuration" exploits. For a lot of people (not you) it's hard to care about such things. The inevitable ennui sets in: "oh, not another one", "that one is similar to one I found in 1992AD", "well, if you had good patch management that's the best you can do!", etc. etc. The magic is in finding each one of these things unique and special and worth of attention. - -dave -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpciOMACgkQtehAhL0ghep7CgCeNNMGxZE9CxYf+lDUWjZ+jjDu 4QMAnjZ8ImzghK99LwUv0jnaETv5SgnD =nKye -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
