Flag: Tornado! Hurricane!

Topic created on: September 18, 2007 04:56 CDT by ero .

They announced flayer in a post on Google Security's blog.
The paper detailing the tool was presented on woot07.

Just wondering if anyone has played with it and has some thoughts to share.

Haven't played with this tool yet, but it looks interesting.

it gave me some ideas. it makes it easy to confirm how crappy some protection mechanisms are. this is a script for auto-skipping flexlm on ICC (available for free anyhow) #!/bin/bash # icc_crack.sh: icc uses flexlm.
