2. Any fool can learn to hack a system. And I don't even mean using script kiddie tools. There is plenty of information on the net on how to script exploits for yourself. All it takes is time and effort in the research and learning.
using this logic the same could be said about anything. The fact of the matter is its not true. there is a certain talent and thought process that goes along with most skill sets. Its like saying I could be the best programmer in the world if i tryed hard. WRONG. I dont have the midset/creativity/patience to do any sort of programming. I can learn theory, and learn the language but I couldnt actually pull off writing a decent program. same goes with network security. people can learn theory and what types of hacks should work, but when it comes down to it they just cant pull it off, atleast not nearly as quickly or cleanly as someone with that thought process.
