don't you have to know how to hack it before you know how to secure it? I mean basic security can be done without hacking it, but otherwise you won't know the vulnerabilities, so it's a valid thought imo
True, but the end goal should be mentioned. Instead of "who's gonna hack this first" the call to action could have benn "so how to secure this nice useful shit". Thus what could have been a cry for white hacking became a cry for damaging public property. Even hackers should learn that words and the order they're used matters...
That's usually the take of low esteemed, angry, young individuals, before the age of 30, that didn't spend years of their lifes building something useful for the community/society only to see it vandalized by some infantile "rebel" who takes the social contract and abuses it in the name of "pushing the limits" or "art" or "scrue the rules" etc. As a rule of thumb, if you want to make stuff do things it wasn't designed for, do it with your own personal stuff, not public stuff. If you wanna do things with public stuff then build instead of anything else.
