"If ... it seems easier to subvert UNIX systems than most other
systems, the impression is a false one. The subversion techniques
are the same. It is just that it is often easier to write, install,
and use programs on UNIX systems than on most other systems, and that
is why the UNIX system was designed in the first place."
