What do you mean hack your site?
If you mean, try to intentionally break into it.. I do believe it is illegal even with permission!

@condoravenue1 : Google 'Penetration testing' or 'pen tests'.

Feyd once told me this.. he's a brilliant man. Also something about breaking into computers across state lines (I have a bad memory).internet-solution wrote:Thats interesting. Have you read it somewhere?? Any reference?s.dot wrote:What do you mean hack your site?

A quick google turned up this:

The other answers for googling "is hacking legal with permission" seem to be a very gray area:

Re: Please hack my site, and help me improve it.
I especially liked this answerYes, hacking is illegal. If it were legal, it would be called programming. If it were programming, you'd get paid for it, not arrested. Yes, most hacking is illegal.

I think it would be legal if it belonged to you, you hacked a local copy, or you had written permission.

Re: Please hack my site, and help me improve it.
Depends where you are of course.
Here in the UK, I've seen a talk from a pen tester so it's clearly doable. But he said they don't work in Germany cos the laws are to strict there.
Back to the original question: You should probably define this better. For instance, would you count a DOS attack as a hack? Cos if not you should really say so now before your site disappears (I do hope your not on shared hosting)

Only spent 2 mins looking at it, but noticed you have directory listings enabled. You usually want to turn those off.
