How difficult is it for small groups to create cyber weapons?
I guess it's in the interest of countries to make cybersecurity a difficult job to learn and master, and to hire any security researcher doing freelance so that cybersecurity expertise doesn't spread outside of the hand of big countries.
It reminds me of cryptography. Except cybersecurity seems a little more complex that cryptography, since finding holes in software is much more hairy than proving math theorems involving cryptography.

Then you have never truly studied cryptography, this sounds like what someone who only studied things like the proofs that the decryption of the encryption is the plaintext would say.
