And I agree, following this as written is dangerous. But knowledge is dangerous, the core of the hacker ethos is that knowledge and information should still be free.
I take issue with the hand wringing, and the lack of curiosity. The closing of the top comment for the thread is

This could serve as a prime example the epitome of counter hacker-culture
It's fine to say, this is dangerous, and to roast the author for a badly written guide resulting in an apparent indifference for the safety of others... but to frame it as a lack of respect for the discipline (and expatations and rules) isn't hacker culture.
