Ask HN: Found security vulnerability at work. rebuked. was I wrong? 15 throwaway_null 16 years ago 13 comments
I would never have run this exploit on a production server, but considering that I didn't ask permission to do it at all, he has reason for concern! His main point was that I should at least let someone know so it is known that my purposes aren't nefarious.
Thanks for the input and giving me perspective on the situation.
