The Month of Kernel Bugs has released their latest vulnerability.
There’s also a Metasploit exploit module.
I’m not going to post every time one of these pops up, but hopefully this puts some of the wireless flaw debates to bed. *[Email:]: Email *[Twitter:]: Twitter *[Phone:]: Phone
To follow up on metrics, Amrit pointed out in the comments that we can’t use totally imaginary numbers.
There’s some myth out there that assumes risk models can track directly to ROI models. I’ll save the full rant for later, but here’s a little math.
My work day had a bit of an unplanned interruption today. I shut down my computer to head from the home office to a nice quiet coffee shop for a change of scenery and a little time off the Internet to get some research done.

A new wireless exploit was released today over at the Month of Kernel Bugs affecting the Broadcom wireless chip set (one of the most widely used in the industry).
It’s hard to believe this little side project has hit 100 posts. We’re averaging 600+ unique visitors a day, which isn’t bad for a blog that’s only been around for three months, and even hit the front page of Digg once.
