To get the ball rolling, here is a little python script that will allow you to perform google searches. And we all know that google can be a hacker's best friend ... the script is fairly simple, so you should not have any problems using it. For those who do, there is a readme file I quickly wrote.
That marvellous bugtraq post from a couple of days ago is backed by tty_sniff.c, which I found on this cool little site, which also has a lot more scripts and interesting stuff. Give it a look.
