I know this might be a bit hard for you to understand, but it is these 'features' that make OS X impossible to break.
I am guessing if you had your micro$oft operating system or even something like n00buntu you will have something to 
worry about. All of these extra 'features' are just making your security harder. Is it any wonder there are so many of 
these advisories every single day? How many for OS X?

Maybe instead of flaming you might want to do a security course :-P

Well, yeah. The script depends on lynx and wget being available, 
and  neither is installed on OS X. It also depends on the 
line-by-line  layout of several include files, one of which 
(linux/wireless.h)  doesn't even exist on non-Linux systems.

It won't even work on all Linux systems. If the target doesn't have 
  compilers available, for example, it won't have any headers to 
grab  the target strings from.
