I Agree 100% everytime you sign on here some noobs are beggin and sscamming saying trying to get other ppls accounts I myself think those question should be reported and the asker banned.
Many hacks hide under the guise of "educational research." As a programmer, publicly posted hacks are a programmer’s resource to CLOSING those hacks.
What’s illegal is obtaining the hack and using the hack to violate a system’s security, even if you don’t do anything. It’s like breaking into someone’s house and not stealing anything. You’re still guilty of breaking and entering and trespassing. But the crowbar and screwdriver you used to get in aren’t illegal because they have a lot of legitimate uses – just like "hacks and cracks."
So making it illegal will do exactly what? Add to an already near-impossible maintenance task? Who decides what’s legal, what’s not illegal?
And how many freedom of information/speech activists will come out of the woodwork and call you everything from Hitler to Big Brother?

No, if they want to take the risk than let them. It’s their responsibility…

Asking isn’t illegal.
Answering isn’t even illegal.
