Maybe if you make it out of jail alive some day, you might be able to find a job to pay off that lifetime of debt to him. 3) You can't just go around breaking open skulls because someone pisses you off. YOU CANNOT BREAK THE LAW, EVEN FOR GOOD REASONS! IF YOU DO, EXPECT TO GO TO JAIL!

Not only do they press charges as if they had been maliciously broken into, but they tend to want to bill the white hat hacker for EVERYTHING related to the incident, including but not limited to ignorant PHBs spending months in meetings about it, as well as the price for fixing the mess. t's like you getting to work one day and finding a note stating "the bathroom window opens from the outside, and the spare key for the filing cabinet where you keep customer data shouldn't be taped to the bottom of the counter." Then what do you do? Call in all the staff, and close up the store for a week while you hold meetings, followed by changing all the locks and buying a gun, and finally suing the person who left the note, charging him with the total costs of what you did? Or you tell a farmer that you were hiking in his woods when you discovered that his game warden was poaching. The armer's reaction is charging you with trespassing. While he may have a legal right to do so, he'd be a real jerk AND idiot to da sn FBI(19-cv-1495)-1901 http://slashdot.org/articles/03/09/06/1325221 shtml?tid=123 &tid=126 &tid=172&tid=99 9/8/2003
