well, it prevents caned sploits to be triggered remotly, but is of little help against local exploits or patient hackers. Not mentioning that any address leakage will nullify the effect of the randomization.
Well, to be pedantic, it doesn't prevent them, it just cuts the numbers down, you just need to have one valid address, the only difference is the number of boxes you own, so we'll end up with botnets of 200,000 instead of 600,000 (numbers pulled out of the air), that is to say, out of every 256 attempts, one will be successful (in theory). It drastically cuts the numbers down, but doesn't stop the canned exploits at all. _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
