    defacing is lame

    I know I'm new here, but...meh, why not give an opinion? Lol. On a lot of "hacking" boards I used to visit, XSS and defacing were the two most hated-upon showoffs. XSS is a different discussion itself, but for defacing...here's my view. If you: A) have a conscience and tell the admins of the flaw that gave you the ability to deface, then you gain some respect to me...because you're doing the right thing. B) don't deface the entire website, but maybe add <!-- hacked by me --> or something in the source, or just create a simple HTML file that says "fix the flaw"...there's no harm in that. It doesn't cause any damage, and it's far easier to fix. C) not be a skiddie. Personally, I think it's okay to use exploit sites if you're using it to be an actual pentester, and not some...well, butthole to say it nicer, haha. If you meet all three...where's the harm? I know point C is kind of hypocritical, but still. I've done defacements before, but it was never to the point to where I destroyed the entire site, or anything. When I find a way into a site, I do one of two things: a) show proof I got in so the admin believes me (aka: point B & A above), or B) ignore it and continue on with whatever I'm doing.
