When I find myself in the role of employer again, which could be soon, I'm going to use this to test potential employees. The people I hire will say "I know how to use a debugger to reverse engineer machine code, but I don't crack passwords" or some variation of that. There is a good chance you would hire someone that doesn't know how to do it. If you don't want them to do it, then don't ask. This, IMO, is the wrong way to test morals. I don't see anything immoral about it. It was not a real application, it was not causing damage to anyone and it was totally related to the job position.
