The chinese are like parasites. They live on someone else's hard work. BackTrack isn't meant to be sold.

@jizzleh2 It depends on the context. It's legal to do it to your own network of course, but cracking your neighbour's keys is obviously different.

@jizzleh2 Errr.. It's like many people bootleg Photoshop and it's pretty easy to do stuff with it, but the professionals always stand out. script kiddies will always be script kiddies. What you should note is that the professionals are the ones trying to make people dependent on higher and higher levels of encapsulation, promulgating point and click culture, making themselves the "man in the middle" (middle man) which is where all the business is.

It's a country of pirates, blessed and encouraged by the commie bureaucrats.
