I've read about someone who traced the cracker back to their ISP, used
the cracker's own cracks at the ISP to get their user info, looked them
up in the phone book, stalked them, beat the crap out of them, stuck
cocaine inside their hubcaps and told the (US) Feds where it was,
result: cracker is now doing a 3 year drugs sentence. Is this the kind
of thing that you had in mind?
