The novel part is that instead of running tools like that, you can just politely ask the target system to hack itself

- nradov 4y agoThat's just a slightly higher level of abstraction, nothing novel or fundamentally different. There are cracking toolkits that allow script kiddies to launch attacks by literally clicking a single button, which is even easier than asking politely.
- comboy 4y agoI don't think that's a valid argument. Following this reasoning, no novel way of hacking has been done for decades. It's just higher levels of abstractions. Fundamentally you are just changing transistor states. For well established attacks you always had "just hack it" tools. That doesn't work for attacks not done before though and even for old ones it seems fair to want to distinguish what kind of attack the script underneath the button performed.
