Len,
IMHO there's a difference between "security through obscurity" and posting
working exploit code. Knowing that there is a vulnerability in DCOM, accessible
over a range of RPC mechanisms (primarily 135/tcp) is all that most
administrators need to know. It's one thing knowing that you can kill a person
with a gun, and it's another to give away firearms.
Just my $0.02:
Shoot the messenger - that always stops the bad event happening.
Sorry for the sarcasm. I can never see the point in "If we don't tell the enemy how to build a nuclear weapon they never will so we are safer as a result" logic.
Greg - you may call me a "Jihad O'Clue." if you wish.
