"Good evening, Security World. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, specially ones to be used in every days products. Which VMware has succeed to ignore and continue producing on same level like it's buddy Symantec did. Bullshitting people and selling crap. But it's time for Anonymous finally to deliver. Ofc VMware will try to make like this Kernel is old and isn't used in its recent products. But thanks god, there is still such as thing as reverse engineering that will prove it's true destiny. Little sidenote about this release, it is the VMKernel from between 1998 and 2004, but as we all know, kernels don't change that much in programs, they get extended or adapted but some core functionality still stays the same.
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
P.s. While we got attention from media. Please stop spreading bullshit about @AnonymousOwn3r and its tango down / hacking actions. Because there is not such a thing, he is using simple global uptime/timeout's or routing node issues to get his name cranked up. But its shameful someone needs to point main stream media into the right direction, as no researches are being made."
