Random thoughts for a Friday...

Not only was it a unix prompt, but it was a real hacker tool, too! Nmap, that is. The sshnuke program wasn't real, but what it did was also possible, the SSHv1-CRC32 exploit was discovered, IIRC, in 2001, and patches were made available. There are 2 exploits for it out there, but neither is called sshnuke and both just dump you into the root shell rather than resetting the password, which is what the sshnuke program did (and it reset it to Z1ON0101). Of course, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I did see this article about it, and saw screenshots from the nmap website. Very cool, eh? Now I just gotta go watch that darn movie!
