# BraveStarr
# ==========
#
# Proof of Concept remote exploit against Fedora 31 netkit-telnet-0.17 telnetd.
#
# This is for demonstration purposes only.  It has by no means been engineered
# to be reliable: 0xff bytes in addresses and inputs are not handled, and a lot
# of other constraints are not validated.
