I wonder what % of HN people never made anything illegal, like:

    * Hack into a remove computer server/friends PC.
    * Broke a WEP/WPA wifi network to gain access
    * Performed MiTM to see what kind of data can sniff
    * Performed brute-force dictionary attack without being asked.
    * Shared illegal digital material with friends

I feel it's about ~ 3%.

* Scraped website and used the data for some other opportunity

I sense optimism in that number...

I would think the first 4 together is probably a bit more than 3%, but the last one alone is probably >40%
