Whilst hacking is extremely illegal, it can be very useful depending on what you'd like to use it for. There's many different ways of hacking, and it doesn't necessarily mean that someone is going to use it in a way that puts themselves in harms way.

Ah, so hacking, in a sense, sends a psychological signal to our brain as a drug whichwould inducing things such as adrenaline making people more susceptible to doing it again?

I've grown up since, so it doesn't excite me that much any more though

So you think that as people mature they are more likely to quit older habits? Do you think that this is a form of empathy of sorts?

Some do it for advantages on certain levels, or to earn money. Where as some do it in the name of justify and others do it because it gives them a tingling feelings. There are many reasons to do something, and pretty much everyone have their own reasons.

Are you speaking about, for example, a company attempting to take down another company so that the company who hired the hacker may benefit from others expenses?
