I've been trying to get my bosses on board with offensive security at work, where if I see someone trying to attack us I want the right to attack them back. Kind of turning the blue team into the red team. Imagine if you did that and then found out the attackers that you just counter-hacked were actually the government and now you're being arrested?

--I know it's illegal (except if a big company like Microsoft or a government agency like the FBI does it). It's the dream of every information security professional though.
