1. A method for automatic detection of a vulnerability exploit, the method comprising: publicly posting a security vulnerability warning indicating a vulnerability of software; providing, executed by a computer processor, an exploit detector configured for automatically detecting an attempted exploit that targets the vulnerability; transmitting the exploit detector to a destination node for installation, the destination node comprising the software; automatically detecting the attempted exploit that targets the vulnerability using the exploit detector prior to installing a patch for correcting said software such that said software is protected against the vulnerability, the automatically detecting occurring at the destination node; in response to said exploit detector detecting said attempted exploit, providing a response to the attempted exploit, wherein said response comprises said installing said patch for correcting said software such that said software is protected against the vulnerability; and perform an additional response based on any exploits, exploit attempt, or exploit occurrence that are detected by the exploit detector by reducing a delay interval that occurs prior to installing a security fix to the destination node.
