You should understand that today unless you are actively developing
exploits, you will not get exploits that work everywhere as the delay
between exploit publication and patching is getting shorter. Most
systems now provide a self update capability and the software
publishers are warned before an exploit is publicly disclosed, at
least most of the times. :)

Of course there are and there always will be vunerable systems, but
any system which is fully patched will be challenging to overcome with
public exploits. Of course you can always try to exploit the
architecture or policies of the system, these usually are also quite
vunerable. Especially if you have insider knowledge or do a bit of
research.
