It is soooooooo tempting to write an STT ("Security Test Tool")
for Windows systems which incorporates implementations of all
known remote exploits, one per subroutine, with payload
arguments, and then Open Source it, so that people can test
their Windows systems for security exploits.
The license, of course, would be written to prohibit malicious
users from replacing the test payload with a real one by
changing the single function parameter to the main driver
program, and would explain exactly what steps would constitute
a prohibited action.
