Hacking Laws

[thedotmaster]

I also wonder at the hacker tenant that all information should and even must be free. Should nuclear secrets be free? Where is the line drawn on information; is personal information information that should be free?

The hacker ethics are very idealistic. For example, they believe that there should be no security - no locks and no passwords. However, this cannot happen and they accept this. So what one must do is place those ideals into a real world scenario whenever that is possible.

Agreed, so the question is how do we place these hacker ethics into the real world? How far is far enough; do we hack any site that has hidden information, do we respect other people's servers just because the server's are "there's"? Isn't that what the whole discussion is about? So where do you think we should draw the line?

[thedotmaster]

We draw the line at damage. We draw the line when we destruct things, or make a profit from it.
Hack for fun, don't destroy things.

i'm sorry man, but you're just stupid, half of hacking is discretion...... and i'm afraid you have broken every law of discretion there is! (and a few i didn't even know they were so basic!!!!)

and wtf, why do you wanna ever spread a virus? that IS damage, and it is a real problem (plus people will hack UR ass too)

grow up and get a life, hacking isn't for you, as you have well displayed

And here I was, answering to his Crypto post because I thought he was just a random one post wonder..
Those quotes are hilarious though xD.

So this thread is about Ethical hacker laws right?

Then I have a question for you.

If you hack a site with hidden info, when do *you* consider yourself to be ''damaging'' the site/company/whatever?

o When you modify ANYTHING?
o When you remove password requirements for directories / accounts?
o When you publish the details somewhere available to the public so people can actively seek the page / exploit out?
o When you yourself steal / destroy data / deface / whatever?

o When you modify ANYTHING? Yu-huh
o When you remove password requirements for directories / accounts? Yu-huh
o When you publish the details somewhere available to the public so people can actively seek the page / exploit out? See below
o When you yourself steal / destroy data / deface / whatever? Yu-huh

Publishing information (passwords etc.) is damaging. Publishing full disclosure of an vulnerability on their website is also damaging. Publishing full disclosure of a vulnerability in a certain piece of software that they happen to use is fine. Publishing full disclosure of a vulnerability after reporting this to them and they haven't responded/fixed the exploit or they say it isn't an exploit or they give you permission to publish the exploit after a certain number of days - that is also fine.
Basically, saying "google.com" has a vuln at "google.com/ff/s.php?file=whatever" is damaging. Saying there is a buffer overflow exploit on the web framework that google uses is fair enough.

Oh and good news people. Comperr et al decided to act on my recommendation of a permanent ban for our good friend here 43635. They deleted all his posts leaving me apparently the person who started a few threads including "HOW I MAKE WORM?" and "wat a crypto". Oh joy.
Least everyone will think I am leet now

I must say I've enjoyed this discussion (even though I'm not anyware near "leet"); on the other hand where is the protection for privacy Dotmaster? Are you allowed to look into other people's files if you don't "damage" or copy them? Are you allowed to hack corporate boardroom discussions if you don't tell anyone else? How does this influence the concept of "hacktivism"?
