exploit
Jump to user comments
security A security hole or an instance of taking advantage
of a security hole.
"[...] hackers say exploit. sysadmins say hole"
Emke reports that the stress is on the second syllable. If
this is true, this may be a case of hackerly zero-deriving
verbs (especially instantials) from nouns, akin to "write" as
a noun to describe an instance of a disk drive writing to a
disk.
