Nmap Development: Re: [NSE]

It sounds like a good idea, can't be too hard.  I would like to point
out that the vulnerability was oversimplified in the media.  From what I
have read, it requires that the cert was produced with "poor quality"
entropy.  Ben Laurie (of the OpenSSL team) posted a couple[1] of items[2]
on his blog about this.  In the comments of those posts, particularly
the second one, there is some more information[3] about the attack.
There's also a link to another blog post which describes exactly how[4] MD5
sigs can be made safe.
