Different people have different opinions, but you have to admit that searching and exploiting bugs or flaws has become easier nowadays, much easier then it was year or two ago. Potentially researcher can now choose from multiple of applications that were crafted to help doing that time-consuming job. For example, during this year Black Hat conference Mozilla presented new tool allowing you to play with Firefox and other browsers, Jesse Ruderman published JavaScript Fuzzer doing similar job, we can't forget about applications like Immunity Debugger that - quoting from project's website: "Immunity Debugger is a powerful new way to write exploits, analyze malware, and reverse engineer binary files... *Cuts exploit development time by 50%*Simple, understandable interfaces *Connectivity to fuzzers and exploit development tools... Don't forget there are many of such tools doing (some of the) job for you, not to mention tons of on-line guides and FAQ's in various topics in security..." So, is "hacking" really that hard? Is it really meant for geeks? Or is it becoming a chance to get cash, fame or whatever else with few mouse clicks?

Today security industry is as interesting as never before and people are into it for different reasons. Some of us are into it because of endless opportunity to learn, some are because that special knowledge can gain them fame, then there are people with malicious intentions, and finally there are people doing it for cash.
