What the hell is security all about? To my opinion it's about closing all the holes.
As you have said, a sysad has to be more creative/imaginative and cautious than a
cracker.
Being a cracker can't serve as qualification for security expert. This is insult of
all those guys who are spending invaluable time on security especially in
Universities/IIT's. I hope Dewang Mehta understands what he is doing.....
