@danielweber: I think it's very easy to misconstrue what I'm saying for "I regret getting caught". My point is that I knew how to hide, but didn't, so anyone who calls me stupid for not doing so is correct. Poor risk management.

No, I'm saying it was a bad idea to talk about what you did wrong to get caught. It creates the perception that you think exploiting flaws in someone's site without permission wasn't the big thing you did wrong.

Which, you can believe that or not, but in terms of mitigating risks perceived by employers, not creating that impression should be your #1 priority.
