HELL YEAH !!!! I think the moral question was already answered by the people who are attempting to break in. If a child molester is caught and prosecuted then for the rest of there lives they have their name posted and placed wherever they go so the that others can be warned of there presence and previous crime(s). If you do something stupid there should be consequences in order for others to think twice before doing it themselves. I say go get'em Francois!

I wrote a script to automate putting my Intrusion Detection Logs into a Web Page to "out" the bad guys. I realize this will do nothing more than make them redouble their efforts, but the question I have is this: Is it ethical to reveal the IP address and attacks of the bad guys in a public web page? Please give me your opinions. The Page: http://www.magusnet.com/ids.html Thanks. Jean Francois - JLF Sends...
