The default ruling regarding hacking websites is prohibition and impermissibility, unless the owner of the website is not legally respectable, such as belligerent disbelievers, or if the website's content is not legally respectable, such as atheistic websites. Hacking programs are used for both permissible and impermissible purposes. Therefore, it is permissible to create and disseminate them for those who use them for permissible purposes, with the caveat that they should only be used for what is lawful.
