Hey all:

"One such tool available now automatically reverse-engineers
patches, creates an exploit and launches attacks, he said,
allowing any non-tech savvy user to become a potential cyber
criminal."
(http://infoworld.com/article/04/02/24/HNunderattack_1.html)

Wow. All I can say is wow. If that tool truly exists, I will shave my
head and move to a mountain to meditate about my inability.

As if the idea of automated exploit crafting wasn't ridiculous enough,
the idea of automated patch-reversing + automated
vulnerability-analysis + automated exploit crafting is so crazy that
no SF author would've come up with this.

Cheers,
Halvar
