Hello,

THC is a hacker group, not a cracker group.

Publishing root exploit source code is free speech and is protected.

Publishing the binary is VX-ing and is criminal. That is very clear.
Wheres the V in "exploit"? Its maybe EXing...


BTW, AV software only alert on binaries. AV firm research labs refuse to 
investigate malware in source code format, even if you send them a 
sample of a brand new one.

To share knowledge with security researchers does not require 
releasing binary executables, professional testers can compile the 
source code for themselves. Avoid releasing binaries and you will not
