found this advice that said if you cut and paste this into the Youtube search box you will be able to access any account. Would I be commiting an offense if I tried that or would I just be testing Youtube security???

WHEN YOU HEAR THE CRASH OF GLASS IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS YOU LOOK AROUND AND YOUR ROOMS FULL OF MEN DRESSED IN BLACK WEARING BALACLAVAS ...THEN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE GONE JUST A TAD TO FAR WITH YOUR HACKING

Lets clear up a few things here.
1. Thats not hacking - any black hat that reads that will wet themselves laughing.
2. You aren't testing anything - website owners pay handsomely if they want decent penetration testing.
3. YouTube is owned by Google, they're a multi billion dollar operation - do you think they'll just ignore it if they were getting compromised to that level?
4. Its probably a load of crap to get people to look at their video masterpiece (low grade shite) on YouTube,

under the laws of many countries, accessing parts of a computer system without permission, or carrying out actions without the permission of the owners is hacking and is a crime.
so the question is: is the action you intend to take allowed by the owner of the system you are doing it on? and if not, have you got express permission to do it?
if the answer to both these questions is no, its a crime.

Ask yourself ... are you doing it to hack or are you doin it to test youtube security?
And if it fails security will you tell youtube?
There, that answers it doesn't it.
