I completely agree with the hackers' side of the story. Criminals will continue to pick locks and break security, whether hackers make how to do it public or not. The difference is by them making it public, we as consumers can better protect ourselves, and the companies that make the security products are required to continue making their products more secure. Both are wins for us as consumers.

The only reason in my opinion, that security companies don't want people to make public how to break into their products, is because it costs them a lot of money to replace these products free of charge, and to continue spending on R&D.

Why not hire hackers to try and get them to break into your products during the research phase?
