I agree with you there.

I think some people are going to be searching for ways to secure their boxes better.

But, then theres going to be the ones coming here wondering how they can hack. The best advice that I can give these people in this category is to get a couple old computers, get a hub, router, or switch, install *nix on one, and windows on another, and play around with it. Thats one of the best ways to learn how people get into boxes, and how it works. ITs also a good way to learn more about TCP/IP and networking.
