Security
In August 2010, security researcher HD Moore uncovered a vulnerability in systems running VxWorks that affected numerous vendors. CERT published advisories for VU#362332 and VU#840249 on August 2, 2010, both flaws in systems running the VxWorks operating system, where the debug tools were left installed, or the default password encryption was used. HD Moore has since published an exploit module for Metasploit, which enables security professionals to verify the security of their systems.
