sploit

English

Noun

sploit (plural sploits)

  1. (informal, computing) exploit (program or technique that exploits a vulnerability in other software)
    • 2006, Ed Skoudis, Tom Liston, Counter hack reloaded
      Other exploit creators were less careful, turning out garbage sploits that sometimes wouldn't work at all or would even crash a target service most of the time.
    • 2007, Thomas W. Shinder, Thorsten Behrens, The Best Damn Firewall Book Period
      In other words, some script-kiddie blindly launching a “sploit” to a range of addresses does not exactly embody the essence of this category.
