    That kid may well go places if he keeps on thinking like a hacker, it is the "I can't get in, I want to get in, so how do I do it?" Security guys and security programmers should take a lesson from that, and would sooner find the holes in systems to patch them before the real hackers start looking.

    Don't forget, hackers have been offered jobs in companies to do just that.

    I used to have a similar mentality when checking out machine safety systems. As in, what do I break, what can I remove, or what can be short circuited to make this machine run dangerously. The more difficult I could make it to do that, the safer it became.

    Haha. If only Xbox gamer were as smart as PC gamer [no offence], they would have found many exploits, bugs and vulnerability in this Xbox One system the days it came out. This is why R* North is hesitant about releasing a copy of GTA5 for PC as once those guys get their hands on it, it's mods for all on Xbox and PS3 platform since PC users is where most of Xbox and PS 'knock-off' is from.
