For the people who know me, this is just a repost of a very old article I wrote. I just think this is the perfect spot for it. I'm just changing the wording a bit, but this is essentially the same thing.

As I said during the opening post, Yazoo and I are quite into Reverse Engineering, which is usually called "Hacking". While this word is always causing some controversy, we claim to be on the right side of the line.

That being said, we still receive a lot of mail and queries so we can teach people how to hack, or shorter, so we can write some so-called tutorials. We always denied such requests. This article is attempting to explain why. The main, short-hand reason is "because any hacking tutorial can only be crap", but I hope that I can point to the full reasons why this methodology doesn't work at all. Don't read this as a real attempt to teach you how to hack, but as an attempt to explain why usual tutorials just can't work.
