    I'm just giving my idea on this.

    I don't know whether there is a mention of hacking in any of the above religions.

    But using software or anything for immoral use is wrong.

    Just using a hacking software is not wrong. But if you use it for hacking, then it is wrong. In my opinion there really need not be any religious backup for something to be wrong. If its immoral, then its not right.

    From my knowledge on Hinduism and Buddhism I can say that using software for immoral purposes would be wrong in those, because in those religions what we sense as immoral is pretty much wrong. There's no hard logic in it.

    About other religions I think It should be the same, but I'm not sure.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    probably framed a lie connecting to a Quranic verse, just to show other that Quran even say about SOFTWARE..:lol::lol::lol:

    I dont know why Muslims suffer from this kind of negativity and feel small about their religion. When I was a muslim I felt the philosophical vaccum in Islam very much.

    In short ur reply points out that the action has to be investigated if we use a hacking software to check a companies security with approval then its not wrong

    but using it to invade others privacy security is wrong isnt it

    thanks for ur reply m8

    And ts correct we can't find any word " software " in religious texts ! but there will be indirect rulings in every religions

    this is a case like knife using a knife we can cut a fingure of another person which is wrong at the same time we can use that knife to cut vegetable

    Yes.

    Also you can use hacking software for learning purposes. I use port scanners, Nmap, DNS lookups and other software to learn other than hacking..

    Keep in mind your browser is also a hacking software. You can do http(application level)hacking using the browser. (Also sql injections, java script hacking etc). So browser is a hacking software, but you really don't use it for hacking do you? Just using it is not wrong if you are not conducting an immoral act.

    But that brings the question, is learning to hack immoral? Anyway this is going off topic I guess..
