It drives me crazy when I teach my Hacking class and my students think
it is all instant gratification kind of stuff. I have to explain
to them OVER AND OVER that you really have to examine your target
carefully, poke and prod it a bit, and THEN attack.

I also have a hard time getting some of them past the script kiddie
mentality. My best trick is to show them how to forge email (a
party trick to be sure) and explain that it is the tip of the iceberg.
