   One of the minor reasons I'm not a security researcher is if I was doing bug hunting, someone else would claim the bug before me because they'd just read my hacking-in-progress toots

     I'd be like "oh my god, this router just passes the password to system!" and before I finish hacking it, Bob FooneFollower has the bug bounty cash

     Also because I read malware analysis and how it's all hidden and encrypted and such and I keep looking at it like "amateurish! You wrote code to create the second dll by doing a bunch of moves, but you did them all in order, making it easy to reverse engineer."

     Probably not a good idea to be a security researcher if your reaction is "I could write better malware than this!"

     @plinth I mean, definitely? There's a reason @a2_4am is one of the best reverse engineers I've ever seen: you have to be to figure out that shit

     @foone Apple ][ software protection was probably better malware.
