In my opinion "helping them" is wrong. Its just like going to someones house and breaking in non destructivly then telling them how you got in there or just breaking in to learn about lock picking. Personnally i would want someone to do that to me. Just because you want to help people by breaking in to there houses and telling them how there to fix the problems doesnt mean you can do it. The only time you have the right to enter someones machine is if they tell you you can. No matter how look at it Being a white hat hacker, or a Black hat doesnt matter. They both do things against the law. And both go to jail.
Am I correct?


Oh yea by the way 2600 is full of hacker idiology and propaganda. Just look at how they talk about Kevin Mitnick and everything as if he wasnt guilty read it with a open mind approach and you'll see its all propaganda.
