No... $1000 is nothing - especially for the code and time put into it...

$100,000 per program I might think about it.

If the pay was good, ethics wouldn't stop me. But all that for just $1000 a piece? No, thanks.

Well, if you think about it, they don't have to be huge programs. Simply find some bugs in firefox, mozilla, explorer, etc. and exploit it.

I guess my point was, you figure out 3 of these hacks before anyone else and you're pretty smart, but that is only $3000, there is no way you are figuring out 40-60 of these things in a year.

But finding the exploits is what takes the longest.

At this point in time, yes! My broke ass needs all of the bling I can get my hands on, but sadly I am not a programmer:(
