Hi folks,
It is my great pleasure to release this new wonderful tool.
http://gemcutter.org/gems/bellhop
== Usage:
First fire up an unpatched webrick somewhere, say, localhost:8080,
ideally from within an xterm.
Then:
$ bellhop http://localhost:8080
== Documentation
== Need Help?
Just ring my bell. Or your friend’s bell. Or even your own.
Enjoy!

It is just a fun little exploit based on the recently announced
security vulnerability in Webrick. It is mostly harmless, and was
written for entertainment value.
Read the source to know exactly what it does before running it, or
just fire up webrick in an xterm and point it at it if you trust me.

When I saw it was from Greg I just went and installed it. 
Then I looked at the source …
Yeah, there’s a WTF? thing going on.

I think my laptop has no system bell or I dissabled it long time ago

That would explain it.
I guess I’m in the weird minority that likes to feel old school by
making my actual machine beep.
