Obviously he's just joking, and most of the people in this thread got it. He's not incompetent, he wrote both Armitage and Cobalt Strike, and the latter has some really incredible features that are hard to find elsewhere. I'd say he knows his way around a computer.

Snarking about why he's root when he runs unzip does not advance the discussion and despite your efforts, it does not make you look smarter than him.

It is just too lame humor, I wasnt criticizing or questioning the smarts of the author.

If anything, Im critizing his writing style, the blog article is not fun to read as it comes from a presumptions and arrogant/entitled position.

Or maybe its just me I dont see anything funny in that article, I just dont find the poking at virtual Linux users and people interested in cracking from a position of authority funny.

Effectively the entire article is making fun of hackers, people who are curious how to break software and make it do unspecified things, people who dare poke and dare crack. But its his software, so it is ok for him to make fun of others right?

The cracking culture is many peoples first step into hacking and programming, we wouldnt be here if all of us really payed for the stuff we used as kids.

He's walking through how to crack his own software and you are complaining that he is anti cracking culture? If this is your attempt at humor, it's really failing.
