You needed to understand coding and how to break into other        computers. You needed to develop attack bots and probe for        vulnerabilities.               Now you just need to point and click.              For a good discussion of this point see               *Click Here to Kill Everybody */Security and Survival in a        Hyper-connected World /by Bruce Schneier        https://www.schneier.com/books/click-here/              Chuck              ***** Moderator's Note *****              I have a problem with Bruce Schneier: he seeks advice from his       readers, but doesn't credit them for it: I sent him a couple of       comments that appeared in his publications, without attribution.              I know that the guru biz is competitive and cutthroat, but ISTM that       it wouldn't hurt to give credit where due: Mr. Schneier was the       running-up in the AES competition, and I use his password-safe program       daily, so I doubt that his giving credit to his contributors would       damage his reputation.              Bill Horne       Moderator              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
