Re: Remote exploitation of network scanners?

I'm not overly familiar with this "Snoop" or any other of these scanners,
but....

Can't they be placed inside some kind of home-made containment (sandbox,
or what ever word you prefere). Such as chrooting, dropping capability to
chroot and so on. [would be better if the developers themselves adding
this to their scanners, but until then]

Snoop RPC buffer overflow.
Very amusing, especially if you use snoop 24x7 as a kinda homegrown IDS  ;-)

PS. Oh, and yes, it's a remote root thang.
