Patch patch patch?  What patch?  Last time I checked there were 2 or

patches available for the 25 IE-related MoBB issues (from July).

So, I might question the phrase "these days" in Gadi's statement "you are
all more secure these days"

Amen to that - fire up Metasploit, build and launch something, and then
mention that *every* hacker has a copy.  Makes even the most recalcitrant
user curl up like a breaded prawn and want to go home and patch patch patch
;)

(That, and Metasploit building blocks are an *incredible* reference if
you're building *other* tools to look for either exploits or payloads. ;)
