There may be some circumstances in which counter-cracking
is necessary. One case I know of, a kiddie got annoyed
with a woman friend of mine and harrassed her continuously.
She couldn't connect anywhere without one of his trojans
tracking her activity and trashing her accounts.
She got a friend, a fellow who was The Admin for a very large
American university system to do something about it. He
cracked back through the kids' cutouts, finally caught him
logging in on a dialup...
And formatted his disk.
She never got hassled by him again.
Sometimes an Admin's gotta do what an Admin's gotta do.
