[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 776986"] There are hobbyists out there in reverse-engineering who enjoy cracking software and exposing working license key information or modifications to allow usage for free. Sometimes, people who are good at this sort of thing end up re-evaluating what they are doing with their life and end up using the skills and experience they acquired through such potentially illegal and ethically wrong hobbyist work and moving into something good like... reverse-engineering malware with the intention to document it publicly and help with detection, or vulnerability research.
