If you are hinting about something like this:

 

A person asks how to create a key logger. This person is then criticised for asking how to create something that could be used to take information from a third party without that third party's awareness.

 

My reasoning as to why this criticism is valid is:

 

Most of us with a number of years behind us -

 

(1) Could quite easily create key logging software.

(2) Have a number of years behind us precisely because we have not created key logging software - we would soon be out of a job and probably worse if we created key logging software.

(3) Don't relish the thought of someone relatively, new to the world of software development, using our experience to create something that is ethically wrong.

 

So to those people wanting help in creating key logging, or any other 'dual use', software my message is:

If you want to create key logging software go and do the research yourself, don't ask people who have no desire to help you in your potentially unethical enterprise and expect them not to be critical of your request.
