Why are hacker's always one step ahead of software creators, no matter how tough the software protection. They always come up with a method to bypass it sooner or later

Seriously, you should watch more movies. They explain everything in them.

how can a hacker hack something before it's written
i think they're on the same level.
the software has got to be written first though, obviously
- b/c crackers do it and do it well.
hacker is a generic termplash
- b/c crackers do it and do it well.

Because there is a limit for complexity of a system the human mind can engineer, and its impossible to foresee or test the software for all possible holes

Did id ever occur to you, software companies supported hacking?
In many cases the ease of hacking and lack of company action against the use of hacked software played in company's favour.Take Macromedia Flash in Flash 4 era. If it weren't for unlicensed copies, would Flash ever get so widespread? Would it still be around? I doubt that. Why was it so easy to crack back then? Why didn't Macromedia ever come with a way to check the kosherness of published sites?
What about these thousands of teens playing with Photoshop right now? Architecture students hacking CAD? Eventually, they will be forced to use legal versions, but they're learning to use the software, ensuring its market position for years.

they can't be on the same level, the hacker has to wait for the developer's 1st step, or he's not able to hack.
Without the developer, the hacker becomes the developer?
I will live you with that one,

It's all about the triangle.

I don't think hackers know more than programmers and developers - it's actually much more easy to bring down a castle door than put it in place. It's like brute force against craftmanship.

i think it's because computer language can always be written in top of,
so you can always add more stuff, just like a bunch of gears.

umm arent hackers essentially programmers?
Dont think hackers have special skill sets, they are just programmer who love taking things apart.
