Uhm... Anti-sec dropped "ssh exploit codez" last week, and it turned out to be a trojan that when run, deletes your home directory.

I'd expect something similar here, because if they release real exploit code, they are violating their own deeply held beliefs on disclosure.

Long story short: don't try running their code.

The so called anti-sec movement confuses me a lot. They seem to hate script kiddies, but these people are no better, if anything they are more dangerous because they have a false set of ideals they believe they are promoting. I wish I could slap them with a trout. In my personal experience, public discloser has legitimate uses in strong arming companies into dealing with security issues that they would rather ignore.
