[@Andrew90046zero]

​@@The_Wafool "hacking" is not the same as "stealing people's data and damaging property". So no, hacking is not illegal. What is illegal is using means of hacking to commit actual crimes like stealing, harassing, damaging property, etc. In the same way that teaching people how to pick locks is not illegal either. Though, in many situations, people may state that "hacking" IS "stealing data" as an over simplification of the word. This over simplification causes confusion and makes people think that Hacking is (and can only be) the act of breaking security for the purpose of stealing (and other crimes), but you can hack without causing damage to anyone. Hacking is simply the act of bypassing of security measures, or breaking some other system to gain access or priveledges. But if you have been given permission by the right people to have such access or priveledges, then it's not illegal. And spreading awareness of computer security flaws, like how @ebolaman_ has done here, helps everyone to know how to protect themselves against these exploits. If this was not shown here, it will still be shown in other places where actual criminals hang out. Showing these security flaws can even lead to an eventual patch of the flaws. So keeping this information secret can be more dangerous to everyone.
