Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Re: exploit

i think you got somethings confused. exploits are not an "it".

All people mean when they talk about exploits is just making use of a security hole in software or hardware.

Just like politicians exploit the public, same deal. It means the same thing...

Now onto your question

You can find out about all the latest major exploits by signing up to the BUGTRAQ mailing list:

Judging by your question I would venture to say that you should probably not be using any well known exploits just yet.

As with all hacking, dont do it unless you understand what you are doing.

but don't get into the trap of using expliots the whole time and becoming a script kiddie. try and find stuff out for yourself as well.

useful *nix scripts are called exploits, too.
