Default Re: An Ethics Question...

We've seen lots of talk about black hat, but never before (tmk) has it actually been published, textbook style, on WPW. IMO this is not the forum in which to reveal black hat techniques. An idea is just an idea until it breaks the surface. Once the cat is out of the bag, you cannot put it back.

That said, there are all kinds of arguments, either way, that are valid. On the one hand, if everybody knows about it, then collectively, workarounds and filters can be quickly deployed and Bob's y'r uncle. On the other, if only a small circle of people, ...

Besides, we already know how it will play out: This thread will grow to 200 posts of mostly the same six people speaking amongst themselves in some jaded language that only they understand. Nothing will be revealed, or learned by any of us mere mortals, at least not before the SEs discover and quash the technique in response to the flood of attempts leading right back to this forum.
