Security research is interesting. Exploits get fixed but not everyone updates their software and not every company ensures their software isn’t vulnerable to them. So there are programs that will run through every known vulnerability and test if the target is vulnerable. They’ll check for old exploits that work on Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. Apparently it’s not uncommon to find large enterprises still running these.
