<div dir="ltr">im hedging bets on: there hasnt been much recently that anyone's detected because there will be an elegance to the proper exploit of this vulnerability. i expect big things from this attack. so do all of the vendors that released the patch in unison.<br>

I think it more likely that most bad guys will stay in the shadows
until most people have stopped paying attention (which will probably be
a few weeks after Black Hat). There will still be a significant number
of sites that will not have patched, so there will be plenty of
exploitable servers, but none of the extra vigilance there is now.<br>

<pre>Bad guys are bad, not stupid.
With all the kabal, they know every serious DNS operator is aware and
watching traffic, hoping to catch one of the bad guys.
The bad guys are not completely ignorant, and won'try to rob a bank when
there's a police drill going on.

<pre>On the other hand, what if they dress up like cops and just try to fit in?
In the mean while they could be just probing security and scanning sites
for who's vulnerable and who's not.
Just a random thought.
