*Someone's finally keying in on the value of 0days for penetration testing
(or, ya know, hacking).

Does anyone know where the PPT 2003 PoC was posted?

The future of malware*
The use of zero-day
flaws<http://news.com.com/Zero-day+Wednesdays/2010-7355_3-6097678.html?tag=nl>circumvents
traditional signature-based security products. These products
rely on attack signatures (the "fingerprint" of the threat) to block the
attack, which requires the attack to have been identified at least once
before.

"This is the future of malware attacks," said Andreas Marx, an antivirus
software specialist at the University of Magdeburg in Germany. "People
affected by this won't be protected by antivirus software because there is
no signature."
