Re:Why Writing Firmware Is Kinda Like Software Exploitation

The maxim in firmware is "this demonstrates the importance of not being seen".
The comparison to exploitae is .. modestly nauseating ( but perfectly understandable ) ; I never ran into a story about exploits where the perpetrator really wanted to be invisible.
There is no narcissism in firmware. It is the perfect satisfaction of leaving no ripple in the pond.

well said. I would agree. I am new to hardware...I just found myself getting the same tinglies I did with software exploitation as those I got writing firmware. Hence the correlation.
