And yet, you assume...

And yet, you assume something to be evil, in an industry in which you have no formal education.

I for one find this useful as the exploit will help a sysadmin find holes in his system in no time. Without such a toolkit, it is almost impossible to know what needs to be patched.

This exploit was certainly in existence among the true bad guys, or something close by it, as soon as it was disclosed a major DNS vulnerability existed, perhaps even before the announcement.

We who make a living as IT professionals are always on the catch-up with the bad guys. That's the nature of this complex business. Toolkits like this help in the catching up by early identification of vulnerabilities.

Also saying that you stand by your original opinion does not mean anything. Opinions are not fact, but just that, opinions. Yours is subjective and uneducated.

You are certainly entitled to as it is your right. It does not make it a valid one, however. You are not an IT professional, and certainly not a sysadmin or IT security expert. As much right you have of voicing your opinion, it is useless and mistaken in this particular context regardless of how proudly you stand on a soapbox proclaiming that you stand by it.
