One of the minor reasons I'm not a security researcher is if I was doing bug hunting, someone else would claim the bug before me because they'd just read my hacking-in-progress toots

I'd be like "oh my god, this router just passes the password to system!" and before I finish hacking it, Bob FooneFollower has the bug bounty cash

Also because I read malware analysis and how it's all hidden and encrypted and such and I keep looking at it like "amateurish! You wrote code to create the second dll by doing a bunch of moves, but you did them all in order, making it easy to reverse engineer."

Probably not a good idea to be a security researcher if your reaction is "I could write better malware than this!"

@foone I dare say that's one of the best traits for a security researcher to have.
