    Absolutely, if 1% of competent people write malicious code yet only 1% of
    those people could write it from scratch it is quite logical that the first
    step should be to eliminate the risk created by the 99%.

    While it is fun to see the exploit first hand, I've never accomplished
    anything really productive by following an exploit recipe. By now there have
    been so many that even that small amount of fun has worn off.
