I don't think there are any goals. I asked it just to understand if it
would be possible to do what I was thinking (apparently, it is) and the
discussion continued from there.

I think most of you are foccusing in servers running Debian, but when I
asked the question I was thinking about personal computers.
For example, if there are any vulnerabilities on ssh, they won't be able to
get into my computer anyway because I'm always behind a NAT (and I'm not
even sure that I have ssh on this computer).

I understand that usually you are worried about directed attacks towards a
machine, but in this case the NSA (and probably many other organizations)
is interrested in infecting a lot of computers and mine data from there.

That's why most attacks these days are launched against client systems 
rather than servers. Do you use a web browser on the internet? If yes, 
then somone can target you with an exploit.

The output might be a bit terse, but the above ids are known elsewhere,
check the references in the tracker. The second part indicates the status
of that id in the tracker at the moment the script was run.
