well...

he uses "the easy way" to get into their systems... is it that what makes you a script kiddie? I'm such a script kiddie, too. i think it would be dumb not to do that, since his goal is simply to get into their systems.

it-security is not like hillclimbing, where taking the stairs to the top is lame. it-security is about finding a way to the top, the easier...the better.

ps: if some of you don't like my english...go learn german as good as i know it! ;-)
