Rbreb13 Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Kevin Finisterre admits that he likes to hew close to the ethical line separating the "white hat" hackers from the bad guys, but little did he know that his company's actions would draw threats of a lawsuit from Hewlett-Packard. Big gov messin with a beneficial service IMO! http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-958920.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rbreb13 Posted September 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 I believe its called a dis-service to the community. I think most Hackers provide a valuable service that should not be wasted. Knowing about the bugs before the "Bad" guys is essential to good security. This is just the wrong way to go about it.

hunter-killer25 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 lots of hackers aren't trying to destroy much so in a sense they are helping because then it can be fixed before real bad people can nuke the hell out of that exploit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Exactly, like I said, until you crack it's not a crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBowy Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 According to the law though I believe it is whenever you enter a system without full permission expressed by the other party. I think most of us have done things considered "hacking," but without any negative intentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
