Oh they're usually not all that bright actually, mostly they take
*OTHER* people's work and then just cobble it all together in one
great big, bloated, sloppy spaghetti bitched mess.

The problem usually starts after someone halfway intelligent comes
across a potential exploit and then makes it public.  At that point
any code monkey with a keyboard can slop together some halfass little
script kiddie bullshit to make use of the discovered exploit.

If you discover an exploit the *BEST* thing you can do is to keep your
mouth shut and keep the info on a "need to know" basis, just letting
software makers and security companies aware of it.  But then the fact
of the matter is that most of those who actively go *LOOKING* for
exploits are usually after just one thing...to discredit the software
maker.

Of course in their quest for corporate shame and personal recognition
they inadvertently fuck over the lot of the computing populous.  Too
short sighted to comprehend that there are no shortage of fuckwits out
there who wouldn't think twice about actually using the discovered
exploit.
