1) "type of target" - you don't care what it is as long as you can find something quick and post it to bugtraq, I wonder if the white hat population will produce the number of projects on Source Forge 2) "identity of target" - The target has been selected because you'll get fame, or you'll make them angry; see the attached fucktheo.c 3) "monetary/related gain" - you really don't care who the target is, it's all about the paycheck - whether it's $300 from idefense with exploit-for-pay, or a career as a "security expert"... Who needs hats? I think there are a number of other anti-social factors, but you get the point ;) Oh and if you really think you know the "enemy", you're lying to yourself or you limited your "acceptible" set of "attackers". I'd be shocked if you knew what you were "securing". ------------------------------------------------------- www.Maxpatrol.com - MaxPatrol is a professional network security scanner distinguished by its uncompromisingly high quality of scanning, optimized for effective use by companies of any size (serving from a few to tens of thousands of nodes). __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
