you know, a qualified system administrator / security official can
generally figure out whats going on in the code in an exploit and reach
those conclusions by him/herself.

the answer to your concerns isnt to dummy down exploits or their

in front of you is doing, and to reach your own conclusions concerning
threat assessment.
