Nichego strashnogo anglijskij normal'nij vot tol'ko soderzhanie poxozhe na propagandu :-) Couple of reasons why people in the security industry are somewhat critical of pdp... 1. Social engineering is 99% of an exploit it's pretty much a given that people will question the plausibility of a successful mass exploitation in a real world. 2. When somebody makes a claim that's totally off base people will correct it. That's the whole idea of a community... We share knowledge and help each other better understand how things work. Some people (like pdp) are going through "growing pains" in the security industry where they try to interpret the world based on their limited understanding and experience. Sometimes those interpretations are incorrect. What is wrong in pointing it out. Finding a 0day doesn't automatically make somebody an all knowing security expert. It takes a lot of time and experience to gain the proper understanding of security. CQ
