Today is my VP's monthly meeting.
One topic is lessons learned from the UPNP issues:
  1. There is no such thing as a local only interface (and don't forget that the firewall still will not save you)
  2. The Usual don't be a multiplier (DDOS), don't trust the server, don't trust the client, don't trust the RFC, etc....
  3. Heap Overflows know em, love em
  4. Change the timings in the attacks you use for testing (Example above X ms but below Y ms)
