>I wonder if there are child porn "Hunters" that go after these scum

If you are looking to build a skillset these are the only acceptable targets in my opinion.

Just go play some wargames and CTFs. Attacking systems intended by their developers to be attacked is perfectly acceptable. Attacking other people systems just because you think it is accepted by society without at least getting warrant from a judge is not.

I'm not concerned about society to be honest. You hurt children, I hurt you. I refuse to compromise on that.

> You hurt children

You are already mistaken, I don't.

Already mentioned, just repeating: http://www.euronews.com/2016/10/21/does-killing-drug-dealers... What if it is not children, but "just" drug addicts. Do you believe you are free to harm drug dealers?

Lol he wasn't saying you hurt kids, look at the context

It was intended to be a joke about false positives. Thought to put ":)" in the end but decided to keep HN emoticon-free. Jokes aside, I think vigilante justice always ends up being a witch-hunt dealing harm to lots of innocent people.
