<P>I don't agree with the analogy. I believe it isn't a case of the kiddie
against the security expert but more along the lines of security expert against
security expert. If you find an exploit and make it public then you
should expect that it will be used. The term expert factors in by understanding
the exploit and knowing how to deal with it. Therefore, the expert analogy
would seem to cancel itself out. I do agree that a lot of the experts seem to
be losing against the kiddies, so it seems the amatuers are either tilting the
scales in their favor or the "experts" are not as abundant as it would
seem.</P></div><br clear=all><hr> <a
