Really?
What about his abilites is so impressive?
Baer in mind that he dind't discover the exploit he used.
So his entire ability comes down to writting a wrapper for the work of
someone else.
It's isn't that I am disagreeing with you. I've met security consultants
that wouldn't know the difference between a DDoS and a password cracker.
I'm just intrested in knowing what makes him so special to most of the
people in the industry.
