One Hacker Kit Accounts For 71% Of Attacks
By Gregg Keizer - January 23, 2007

Tagged with the moniker "Q406 Roll-up," the attack kit was behind 70.9%
of last month's attacks, reported Atlanta, Ga.-based Exploit Prevention
Labs. Up to a dozen different exploits make up the kit, which includes
several exploits derived from the proof-of-concept code that researcher
HD Moore published in July 2006 during his "Month of Browser Bugs"
project.
