That is both evil and beautiful. At LAN events I run security scans to help people lock their PCs down. I give people a list of files in their drives, and then show then how to disable those types of scans and attacks. We don't do public shaming or anything like that; we feel that the educational impact of a guy going back to his table and telling his friends that we can 'hack" his computer are worth it to us.
