ABfrag - Linux Kernel ( <= 2.4.20pre20 ) Remote Syncing exploitI think this is a bit of a giveaway: mentioning a kernel that doesn't exist suggests this program is not what it claims to be (Marcelo released 2.4.20-pre11 two days ago).
Someone more prone to conspiracy theorization might say that the author(s) were planning a release before said kernel. Or perhaps writing a fix for the bug and submitting it for 2.4.20pre20 to become heros. =P
cheers john
