Someone at work pointed me at this letter...  I can't find anything about
it. Hoax? Guarded secret? You be the judge...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to all-

im sure ya'll have heard of poink, an exploit against freebsd/openbsd
machines (these are the boxes i have tested on) it appears to work very
efficiently in killing freebsd 3.1 - freebsd 3.0 machines, against one of
our freebsd 2.2.5 machines, it did bring up the error messages in
/var/log/messages (arp lookups) but didnt kill the machine like the
others...

im just wondering if there are any patches for this, and i noticed there
is no mention of it on freebsd's website....
