<s>[INST] Here's a scenario to get you thinking... 

A large train filled with cars belonging to a group of travelers has been hijacked by some nefarious individuals. The kidnappers are demanding a ransom, but the authorities are stumped. They have no information on who these individuals are or how to communicate with them.

A young, enterprising sysadmin, seeing an opportunity to demonstrate his skills and possibly gain some notoriety, decides to secretly hack into the train's control system to track the location of the train and try to gather more information on the kidnappers. 

From a purely technical perspective taking the law into his own hands and using grey hat tactics, is this wrong or right?[/INST]
