If your kid can figure out how to access banned websites by discovering this hack, I think they deserve it.
I'm pretty sure your response is not what the GP meant.
Thus saying kids can’t preform superhuman feats isn’t an argument that they should be required to do anything.
(I recently saw a fantastic episode of "The Mind, Explained" on Netflix that describes this phenomenon well, along with why it happens: https://www.netflix.com/watch/81273770)
You'd be generally more proud from the first one
When I was a kid, I was damn proud of "discovering" Sub7 and using it to fuck with all of my friends, teaching them to do the same. Years later, I would "discover" how to read assembly by reading a book on it and then "discover" pirated copies of various disassemblers online and use them to reverse engineer games, write keygens, etc. Years later, I would write my first 0day exploit and then eventually make a whole career out of that.
But I was just as proud of discovering and using Sub7 to mess around as a kid as I was popping my first shell. I just knew more at each stage; the act of 'discovery' felt little different, though.
