	Hackforums.net and Milw0rm.com - New Apache 0-day exploit uncovered

Mr X,
Isn't the gaining of expertise, in any field, a labor of love?
Going through the process without being spoon-fed usually carries with
it a certain amount of wisdom. So much potential talent is wasted
because of the ease of access to 'hacking tools and tutorials,' such
guides feed into our lethargic tendencies and offer no intellectual
challenge. The same is true of University, College, and Certification
programs.
I happen to pride myself on my ability to self-teach, and largely
credit it to my experience as an un-mentored 'hacker'.
