Ian,
Cases where you can detain a person who is there are not analogous to remotely
attacking a server.
Next, the rights of LE are not those of the general public.
In case where there is a system on your network you do not have the relivant
rights in possession. You may be lucky and not be charged. This happens. Often
LE will turn a blind eye for the "greater good". This does not make the action
warranted.
"then doing whatever is necessary to stop the trespass from continuing." block
access. On a network when you already know of the attack this is not as
difficult as many of the analogies that fly about.
What happens if you attack the wrong system?
Regards,
Craig
