That wasn’t a value judgement on my part; I don’t think it’s fun. Only that “for the lulz” has been a common justification for some attackers in the past.
I mean, not really. If you go down that route too long you end up with something that has an attack surface so small/specific you'll never see it in the wild. There are almost always unknown variables that you can't know about or control for until you actually encounter them.
Plus, popping your first live box is an ancient rite of passage.
"for the lulz" was the tagline of many a hacker and script kiddie back in the day. Graffiti is also vandalism, and done for the lulz by toys and pros alike
