Re: What TheHackerGiraffe has accomplished
Using other people's equipment without their permission is actively harmful. That it could have been even more harmful is beside the point.
"small price to pay for the lesson in security practice."
And who appointed these jackasses to be the "teachers"? Nobody, that's who. They're black hats and criminals, and they need to be as firmly denounced as any other attackers. Their actions are even more obnoxious because they insist on hiding behind this corrupt idea that they're performing some sort of public service. They're not. I would have more respect for them if they could at least be honest about their actions.
Pentesting is a great and useful thing, but the thing the differentiates a pentester from an attacker isn't intent. Pentesters act with authorization. Attackers don't.
