I am not in IT security, but find it fascinating what clever tricks people use to break (into) stuff.
In a better world, we might use this energy for advancing humanity instead of looking how we can hurt each other. (Not saying the author is doing that, just lamenting that ITS is necessary due to hostile actors in this world. )
If you know how to hurt others, you can learn how to prevent that way of hurting others.
is that how guns work ?
I would say so, in my opinion the US has an education problem when it comes to fire arms. People are rightfully scared of what they don't know, but culturally, the people who don't know that much about them are adamant against learning about them. This coupled with the lack of respect given to them by people who do know how to handle them leads to the position we find ourselves in today.
