Subject: Nanog traceroute format string exploit.

Hello,
As the vulnerability has been published some weeks ago, and no working
exploit has been released (the perl exploit was joke) I decided to
release my private exploit.
I do it only because
-This exploit will never be used to haxor something because I never saw
this traceroute used by default
-This exploit find offsets "by the proper way" and doesn't place the
target adresses in the format string. (and is interresting to study for beginners).

Have phun, please don't haxor with it.
