RE: [Full-Disclosure] Script Kiddies


Kinda wanted to take a minute to think about this.

The big determiner between art and junk is passion. Regardless of what you do, if your a good information security person, or a good hacker, you have a passion for the technology and the job. Doesn't really matter if you get paid for it or not, late evenings or not. If you have passion, then you have what it takes to excell in a field, any field, including information security.

There is a lot of passion for information security amongst some people, and for many it is just a job, don't take it so seriously, hey see the latest dilbert cartoon, and please read my blog. I

have only seen two attacks in 14 years of information security that I would like to meet the hacker. One from china, one from russia. Very good, still don't know how the boxes survived the attacks, they were that good, that targeted, and that unique. They had passion, should be the only ones allowed to have a CISSP or what ever certificate du jour is.

I think that is Uncle is railing against, and if I am right, welcome to the side show. MCSE's and CISSP/CISA are all in the center ring right now. But like any circus, it too will fold up the tent, and the side show is what brings the "suckers born every minute" into the big top.

I love hearing security people talk about script kiddies. It's the funniest
thing to see them walking around with their chests pushed out like peacocks,
as they scoff the silly little kiddy.
