Hiya.. Im not sure this email will prove to mjr that "hacking" is cool, since im sure we fundamentally disagree on what "hacking" is.. but.. [a] i (agree with pageexec and) cant really see how this differs from crypto research (but ill leave that fight to mjr and pageexec) [b] i cant really understand the difference between hacking and lock-picking.. Now.. if you google: site:ranum.com + "is cool" you will get the "6 dumbest ideas" as hit one, and as hit two: http://www.ranum.com/fun/bsu/safecracking/ -snip- Lots of computer security practitioners appear to be fascinated with locks. It makes sense, really, since locks are one of the more complex and cool security systems humans know how to build. I know several practitioners who pick locks fluently, and one in particular who seems to know more about locks than most locksmiths. Picking locks is cool. -snip- Hmmm... /mh ======================================================================= h () roon net http://roon.net =======================================================================
