This might be a bit hard for you to understand, but no OS is impossible to break. If you think that's the case with OSX, you haven't been keeping up very well at all. And before you get your knickers in a bunch, *I* use OSX. --- Tremaine Lea Network Security Consultant Be in pursuit of equality, but not at the expense of excellence.

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 just1n -- “Losers make promises they often break.

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.-- _______________________________________________ Get a free @hellokitty.com, @mymelody.com, or @kuririnmail.com email account today at www.sanriotown.com, and enjoy 500MB of storage!
