Don't be so harsh on the NGAGE man!
It combines the Video Gaming possibilities of an ordinary phone with the reception and sound quality of a 1980's Gameboy!
I hear it's like talking into a taco!
How does that differ from the worms which get released for Microsoft almost a year after the patch was released? I hear people railing Microsoft all the time for not 'getting it right the first time' when THAT happens...
Conversely, if cracking tools like this are widely available, authors will be somewhat forced to at least use them to test before they release insecure software.
Saying that these tools in and of themselves being widely available is a bad thing I'm still not sold on. Yes, Script Kiddies can now possibly attack a system in a manner which they would not have been able previously, but sysadmins can also do the same, and then secure whatever holes appear as a result, meaning that not only can the script kiddie not get in, but a Black-hat can't use that avenue either. That is why these tools exist, after all.
I've always thought the comparison of security tools to invasion tools like the idea of security through obscurity.
Simply because there's not an automated tool which allows you to properly determine the security of your own systems, doesn't mean somebody else couldn't do it manually, or create their own tools.
Believe it or not, the most 'American' of all cars, Ford (He did invent the assembly line, after all), is made with Korean manufactured parts and assembled in Mexico.
Honda is, as others have replied, made by American manufactured parts with American workers in its Honda of America plant in Ohio.
