Come on, we are talking about the rootkit.com guys. Not taking side is one thing, taking the opposite side is a completely different one.
Pretty much everything I learned for fun about rootkits, I learned it thanks to these guys.
I am speechless.
If you can't even get GET/POST/cookie escaping correct in PHP after years, you should probably not be building web apps.
It's a shame that their site is so bad when their book is so awesome.
I am speechless because they (started?) monetize going after the 'bad guys', while they have been publishing grey/black hat stuff on Rootkit.com for many years.
The trust is gone.
p.s. - if anybody can crack my password, I'll be impressed.
