I was just thinking ...

I wonder how long until some script-kiddie vulnerability scanning
script is developed to compare lack of a specific patch against a
database of known attacks, to print recipe's for hacking specific
systems.

I wonder what ports this scanner uses?  127-139?

Seems to me Bill might be in a pretty nice position to start selling
subscriptions to automated patch services, to defend against his free
utility.
