My real concern has always been one of permission. If you don't have permission to do penetration testing of a system, you are violating the law. Noble purposes or not, it's illegal and you can see jail time.
Now the guy who goes jiggling doorknobs? He can argue that he was "testing the neighborhood security", but he can still be arrested for trespassing. He could even be shot by a scared homeowner, and the police would probably call it self-defense.
I'm not condemning curiosity; I'm just pointing out that the best of intentions don't matter when someone decides to punish you for cracking their security.
