hrm, Its topics like these that bring out the best in the *development* field. Stanley, while I'm sure your hate for skriptkids is no less than any of the rest of us, surely it hasn't blinded you to sarcasm, which _hopefully_ is what sween was using. If not sarcasm then possibly just a good old fashion "sick of the world/industry/life" rant. Whatever it may be, I do believe that just possibly this thread has gotten out of hand and would harm no one by killing it. On Thursday 06 September 2001 08:35 pm, Stanley G.

You owe script kiddies... BIG TIME.The computer and software industries owe script kiddies NOTHING. Script kiddies bring down sites, wreak havoc on networks, use compromised as platforms for attack and all without knowing how what they are using works or what harm they are doing. The people owed thanks are the people who find and report vulnerabilites, who attempt to offer fixes and workarounds, and yes people who write and publish proof of concept code and tools. But there is a huge difference between supplying a proof of concept and using one to gain unauthorized access to companies system.GET OFF MY LIST.This is list is to discuss vulnerabilities, not promote script kiddies as the great fucking guardian angels of corporate America. Get real.
