ninjutsu and hacking By mrhnau - Wed, 09 May 2007 13:42:17 GMT

=========

I just read an interesting couple of posts over at impactninjutsu. Basic question is should hacking skills be taught as part of a ninjutsu curriculum. There was also a bit of discussion over the differences between hacking and cracking.

What is your opinion? Should it be part of a modern curriculum? If ninjutsu was in the process of development today, do you think they would have included this type of work? Would they have been hackers, or both hackers/crackers? Isn't that kind of what the originators of ninjutsu had in mind, the solution of problems with minimal effort and often unconventional means? Are crackers the modern interpretation of ninjutsu, or at least in part?

Togakure Ryu has the "18 forms of Togakure Bujutsu", which include things not frequently used these days. Can we interpret Shinobi iri as hacking/cracking? How about Cho ho? Isn't espionage these days almost always done electronically?

I know the Bujinkan does not teach these disciplines (at least not openly), but I'd be curious to see what members think...


Somewhat related, can we consider teaching defensive driving instead of bajutsu?


anyways, just one of the things I've been contemplating lately :)
