How difficult would it be for a professional hacker to get into say, one of the so many IIS vulnerable machines and use the victim's computer as a starting point for the attack. Considering all computers out there which sometimes run servers even without the knowledge of the owner, it would be possible to launch an attack from a victim's computer and leave yourself untraceable. Think of all the innocent people being framed, at the hands of a craft and intending hacker who will applaud the outcome of his victims. In a sense it boils down to the debate of death penalty, commit and crime and you will lose all ability to interact within the realms of those crime. Besides, this kind of crime will not go down, people will only be more careful and walk along thinner lines to avoid the outcomes. Build a better mouse-trap and someone will build a better mouse. It's inevitable and history only strengthens the argument. - Aleem
