Like I said, learn how to prevent not take revenge, even if you know how to do some harm it's like some f-d up lawsuits where the burglar breaks in, you shoot him he sues you and now owns your house... you might take action and the hackers host may take action against you. A lot to think about when considering this and if you can justify something once think about the future it has to be like I said, prevented and not justified.

I completely agree with taking preventative measures, but I can see why they want revenge. And I think your analogy is a little off. If someone breaks into your house (hacks your site), then you shoot them in the knee (call their hosting company and ISP and have them shut down). It doesn't kill them (because they can always get back online) but it still shows that you will defend yourself if messed with.

Of course, this still isn't a perfect analogy, because in real life you make sure you kill the burglar (dead people can't sue), but you get the idea.
