All manner of folk blamed you (incorrectly) for Code Red Minor nit: eEye did not release any exploit code for the ida/idq to the public. They said they were going to in the initial release of their advisory, and later changed their minds. In fact, if you're paying close attention, that vulnerability is when they quit releasing exploits with their advisories. If you look at Code Red, the guy who wrote that exploit didn't need any help, and even came up with the %u technique while he was at it. The eEye guys had a couple of comments in their advisory that were directed at anyone who would have been capable of reproducing the work. I.e. anyone who could follow the comments, didn't need them to produce an exploit. Just wanted to clarify. I keep seeing this repeated, and it's turning into one of those infosec urban legends, like Kevin hacking NORAD or being on the FBI most wanted list.
