> If you're a security practitioner, teaching yourself how to hack is also part of the "Hacking is Cool" dumb idea. Think about it for a couple of minutes: teaching yourself a bunch …

One of the first things you need to think about is the inclusion criteria. Wikipedia bases all its content on the following: "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list …
