I don't know - there was a site back then (died because of admins, not hackers) called, I think, Digital Evolution (dievo.org?) that hosted a lot of security-related games, covering web-based stuff like SQL injection and going on to shell-based games where your focus was to elevate your privileges, usually by exploiting a small program given to you - sometimes with the source, sometimes without it.

And as far as I can remember, they never got "really" hacked. Damn, I miss that place. There were riddles, math games, sigh...

Sure, why not, but he is probably nullifying a few TOSes and other service agreements. The reason we put inane disclaimers and "get off my lawn" type message in /etc/issue is to cover our asses. If anybody from his network/hosting provider sees this he will surely get his account yanked by them before the baddies.
