jvanegmond Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 wat wil stellen?English: where do you wanna go with that question?I'm trying to explain to you that breaking the law is wrong no matter what purpose it is for. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) I'm trying to explain to you that breaking the law is wrong no matter what purpose it is for. But is hacking for a good purpose breaking a law? If the dutch dude was just trying to help (and probably tyring to practice his hacking skills) it doesn't make sense to prosectute him. It's like telling a homeless person to go to the lady next door who gives out free bread.Edit: Would hacking for the purpose of improvement on security be considered genuine hacking?

jvanegmond Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) Would hacking for the purpose of improvement on security be considered genuine hacking?The problem is determining the motivation behind the hack. If you can truly say someone had the intention of doing good by hacking, you should not prosecute him. Getting the motivation behind it is very difficult (No eye-witnesses ) and therefore hacking is illegal no matter what motivation.Edit: In my opinion at least..

There is actually a White Hat certification for hacking. I can guarantee you it isnt illegal, unless you are imposing on the freedoms of others with your knowledge.Just like having a gun isnt illegal, until you use it in a way that infringes anothers freedom.JS AutoIt Links File-String Hash Plugin Updated! 04-02-2008 Plugins have been discontinued.
