Title: Too few people in the world understand technology. Of those, the vast majority don't do anything creative with it. I would put myself in this category. A few people are extraordinarily creative and come up with the exploits we read about in the news.<p>Let's say you're a competent programmer with minimal prior exposure to security. What should you read/do to learn how to see and engineer these kinds of exploits? I don't want to be Picasso, I just want to learn how to paint so I understand how he does it.<p>For the record, I'd say a working hands-on knowledge of this should inform the design of any system.<p>Is it a person-to-person oral tradition? Is it on some private message boards somewhere? Text files? There used to be 2600 Magazine, does anyone still read that?<p>Maybe it's all of the above. Where is the best place for somebody smart to start reading/inspecting/programming and quickly learn what matters?
