>Most of the underground cracking groups have limited skills >and background theory on software protection. I doubt this. From what I have observed there are very skilled people in the underground cracking community, who have extremely good math and programming skills. In many aspects I suspect that there are as many very well skilled people doing hacking as there are people providing security measures. I am not sure that those doing the latter are necessarily as good as the hackers though. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
