exploit
     
         a security hole or an instance of taking advantage
        of a security hole.
     
        "... hackers say exploit. sysadmins say hole"
        -- mike emke http://emke.com/.
     
        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.
