At least one person mentioned in the chatlogs is stepping forward to
claim it's a hoax:

Earlier today, someone calling themselves ``Van Cloude Jandame''
posted a message to VULN-DEV and OpenBSD-misc entitled ``openbse
rumours'' (sic).

With the exception of 7350oftpd (which is public), these exploits do
not
exist. Furthermore, GOBBLES is a deliberate joke played out by some
otherwise
avid fans of non-disclosure.

> *** pr0ix (pr0ix@def-con.org) has joined #darknet

These logs are fake. No such conversation ever occurred.

> <m0rgan> ./7350-crocodile [options] [host] [port] [misc-option]
> <m0rgan>
> <m0rgan> -d <daemon> (1= apache, 2= telnetd, 3= sshd)

This, too, is fake.

Conclusion: This is a poor attempt at conjuring up the spectre of
``unreleased OpenBSD exploits'' in people's minds. Don't fall for it.
