Sorry to butt in, especially if somebody is working on a reply to this

If the vendors are working with you, what compelling reason do you have to
tell the internet security research community as a whole that you can
basically pwn any implementation out there and apparently any devices in
between you and the target without giving any real details?  Doing something
like that doesn't help anyone (else), so it comes off as silly.
