Hi,
Sure. You can re-learn and re-invent.
Hmm, i obviously didn't make my point clear enough :\
Hmm.. how long would it have taken you to figure out the concept of a buffer overflow without Solar's paper, or some other similar hint?
Certainly nowhere near as easily or quickly as i did with the help of that excellent Phrack article :) However, i was not saying we should never read articles, books, tutorials, etc. Yes, this is being 'taught' by the author, but i got the impression this is not what the previous poster was implying. By 'teach', i very much got the impression he was saying that presently clueless people should me mentored, or 'spoon fed' as another poster said. I do not believe this is at all beneficial to anyone. I was /not/ referring to the free exchange of ideas and knowledge as a method for teaching, without which many of us would not be anywhere near as competant as we are today. I apologise for the confusion, it seems you thought i was arrogantly stating that the contributions of all that have gone before the upcoming hackers are useless, and that none of it is of any use. I was not saying this at all, just that i do not think 'teaching' in the form of 'spoon feeding' is at all neccessary, or useful. -- PGP: http://spacecake.hypermart.net/pgp/ishikodzume.pubkey.asc
