(1) I do have something "useful to say".  The exact same thing every other
security conscious person is saying:

No source?  An exe?  Baaaaaddddd newwwwwssssss....

Publicly released "tools" are only safely released through open source
(or, "full disclosure" if you prefer).  Without source, it's you who
should be taking a turn at stfu.

'The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments
it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest
limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of
the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext
whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the
brink of destruction.'
