I can't speak for the author, but in my case, I love to make my
own versions of things simply to learn how the particular vulnerability
is effected or manifested on a lower level. Also, for exploits that
are very straight forward, it is satisfying seeing the time that it
has taken to develop code. Then, I compare that time frame to previous
projects and see how my style develops and progresses into more
elegant solutions. Sometimes, it's simply a "why not?" situation.
