Like affording the $25 worth of hardware is really the most difficult obstacle to overcome here.
- HWR_14 4y agoIt's a sign of the hackers skill that they can take the same difficult problem and make it so anyone with $25 can duplicate it. Making something accessible to the masses makes it a more impressive achievement.
- Hellion 4y agoIt’s because it makes it accessible, which is important.
- twawaaay 4y agoThe original hacker might have needed a lot of specialized, highly valuable knowledge, but what $25 means is that almost anybody can do the same with some instruction even if they couldn't come up with the instructions or even don't understand what they are doing.
- chucksta 4y agoThats' the point, its a trivial amount. Implying it's super easy and people should be worried.
