Quote: "What positive will come of this?"

This exploit was not rocket science and the articles published leading up to Dan Kaminsky's appearance provided enough data for most knowledgeable hackers to exploit it.

Now back to "What positive will come of this?":
The blackhats already have this exploit in the wild, no two ways about it. So what positive will come out the MetaSploit DNS exploit is that You as a security officer or systems admin can get the MetaSploit Framework, compile it for yourself and see how exposed you are to the issue before someone else with more nefarious plans does the same.

If you are so naive that you think that this isn't already out in the wild then might I suggest a carreer change such as "Would you like some fries with that order?"
