Resorting to personal attacks? Nice.
Technical skills in what? Running a wordpress blog? Defacing a
website? Growing pot?
I rarely publicise any materials, most of the time I just tell whoever
is responsible to do a fix.
I'm not really running after publicity, unlike you guys.
Also note that I never said I'm a seasoned hacker... in fact, my
occupation is quite on the opposite side of the spectrum...
You also seem to know more than I do what the Ubuntu VM I have contains.
But that must make all the difference! I mean, people that don't know
qubits from bits shouldn't be allowed in such discussions
(of course there's wikipedia...)

Christian Sciberras,
I have trouble judging your technical skills - all I have seen is
bad smalltalk.
Do you have any technical publications you can share so I can judge?
btw, the best i found was you could could reproduce a bug in a CMS
and in addition you can't tell root from user password on vanilla
ubuntu.
