Staying on the treadmill.

People (this means you) like to think hard about game changing events in
the world of hacking. But just staying on the treadmill of exploit after
exploit can be a game changing event.

For example, today you may have noticed that Intevydis
(http://www.intevydis.com/vulndisco.shtml) released as part of their
latest exploit pack, some exploits for all the major access
point/mini-router firmwares. Not CSRF "exploits" or XSS "exploits". I
mean "Here's a shell, now you get to install new programs and muck with
the router's configuration" exploits.

For a lot of people (not you) it's hard to care about such things. The
inevitable ennui sets in: "oh, not another one", "that one is similar to
one I found in 1992AD", "well, if you had good patch management that's
the best you can do!", etc. etc.

The magic is in finding each one of these things unique and special and
worth of attention.
