Please look the entire document over when you have a chance.
Although I also like/appreciate the intro, my personal feeling is that
the document itself appears to be a "cookbook-style guide to
destruction". Even the sarcastic(?) closing remark - "Feel the power
of the dark side!" - tends to make me uncomfortable with this type
of document (maybe that's a bit harsh; call me prudish, but...).
However, the LDP does have the Firewall Piercing HOWTO available,
so I feel the LDP would be hypocritical not allowing this document
into the collection. On the other hand, I would like to see the
document slanted towards more of a "white hat" style - e.g. now
that we have the cookbook, how can the one defend themselves
appropriately against the "cooks"?
I stress that these are simply my personal opinions after reading
the document.
