I am guessing if you had your micro$oft operating system or even
something like n00buntu you will have something to worry about. All
of these extra 'features' are just making your security harder. Is it
any wonder there are so many of these advisories every single day?
How many for OS X?
Maybe instead of flaming you might want to do a security course :-P

Confirmed Macosx is not vulnerable to this.
Well, yeah. The script depends on lynx and wget being available,
and neither is installed on OS X. It also depends on the
line-by-line layout of several include files, one of which
(linux/wireless.h) doesn't even exist on non-Linux systems.
It won't even work on all Linux systems. If the target doesn't have
compilers available, for example, it won't have any headers to
grab the target strings from.
Evidently you need more experience in security research:

I believe this should dispel your myth about OSX's invulnerability.
Really...did you honestly believe it was invincible?
