Is it criminal to reach out and hack an infected machine that's attacking your network?

Happened with Code Red 2... 2002-07-29
Nicholas Weaver
http://sunsite.bilkent.edu.tr/pub/infosystems/phpweb/default
.txt

Once code red 2 started spreading, Sam Phillips at dasbistro.com created the above small perl script which directly responded to a code red or code red 2 probe by attempting to use the code red 2 backdoor to disable IIS and reset the machine, which clears the infection and prevents reinfection.

That page got spread around the net a fair amount (I'm pretty sure it got /.ed.)
