That's a only one shallow facet of it. Some people do simply get a kick out of doing something "taboo" (or illegal heh). However, a lot of us are simply interested in the ways things work, how things are built, in *systems*. The same things that make a true computer geek often also make a vadder...no coincidence that it was first popularized and "codified" so to speak at MIT. It's simply that inquisitiveness to see how something fits together and functions, often with the adding interest of art-in-architecture. -Molehunter
