Since it looks like we are going to have tools to test holes, the policy of 
only releasing ones designing to test your own system for flaws, needs to be 
in. As Berend says we don't need to make it any easier for script kiddies.

Also, this list is going to have script kiddies on it so people needs to be 
kept aware of not posting specifics about their network which can then be 
used to root them. Too often I see people giving out all sorts of information 
about their network on lists thinking there are only white hats on it.
