This was big news this week. H.D. Moore, security researcher and founder of Metasploit, wrote shell code for turning the iPhone into a hacking device. This is great news.

Does it get any better than this?

Check out the details on his Metasploit blog. This was also reported by eWeek, twice on Tuesday and once on Wednesday last week in Larry Seltzer's column.
