Some youngsters out there only know a little bit about network and
UNIX, then visit security site outside there, http://rootshell.com or
whatever, found some script/programs compile and simply run them.

When they found some errors in the program, their feet get numbed.
Then they simply claim themselves hacker?  Do you guys agree with that
