You will be considered a criminal if no prior consent is approved or issued by the software company or the owner ... this is called penetration testin not Hacking ....

It is just like a robber who tries to open a door and got caught .... and he says ... "I was not stealing, I was just checking if the door is locked well" .... so if you caught someone trying to access your computer would you believe him if he told that he is testing how immune your system is?

intentions are never enough
