Great presentation and something that programmers in general (not just infosec) need to have a personal decision model for. Everyone should be able to make their own decision to these questions as they see fit, but the more we talk about issues like this the more we see where other people like us (who maybe were put into this position in the context of "work") have decided on a stance (and the repercussions of said stance) the better off we all are. We who work on machines and not man don't have an oath that we are taught to follow and/or live by, and I don't necessarily think we should. That being said, the Jr. programmer working for a small firm can encounter decisions of ethical importance as much as a black/white/grey/green/mauve hat infosec can. To me, this is the core value of what a site like HN provides and probably the main reason I read the comments on HN more than I do the articles.
