exploit
<security> A security hole or an instance of taking advantage of a
security hole.
"[...] hackers say exploit. sysadmins say hole" -- Mike Emke.
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.
