The part you should wonder about is why there's a flood of "me-too" exploits after the patch comes out. Which is more likely, 6 or 8 grey hats all hacking for 48 hours straight to be the first to release a sploit, or 6 or 8 grey hats all figuring their 0-day is about to get shut down so they should get some creds by releasing it and looking like a uber-coder? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
