The thing here is that to an awful lot of people, and especially those who make the laws, hacking is hacking is hacking, who cares what someone says they were doing it for. Jcan realy understand how someone could consider that they're doing a service for admins and all of that, but the point is that you are still breaking into a system and then turning around and saying, "hey, this is a security hole, you should fix it" is kind of like G. Guido coming down to your house, breaking in through a window with a golf- club and then saying, "Hey, I can break into your house, better listen to me or I'll do it again." I'm sure that Adrian has some noble goals, but fundamentally when a company decides that they don't like people creeping into their system and then presses charages against those who do, it's their right to feel that their security was violated. Good luck to him really, but there are other ways you can help people protect their network security than by breaking into them.

But then again, any service should be prompted or invited. And a larger problem is this isn't just washing windows, these are problem areas, flaws, and security flaure at that Thace micht aven ceive annese ta a camnannis dirty lamdn, Ga nat FBI(19-cy-1495)-1910 http://slashdot.org/articles/03/09/06/1325221 .shtml?tid=123 &tid=126 &tid=172&tid=99 9/8/2003
