Certainly consensus code is very costly in itself. However mishandled security failures are even more expensive on the long-term, e.g TheDAO hack and the moral hazard culture this generated in ETH.
Of course, this is always an option to go to publish a pinning toolkit and see the Lightning ecosystem jeopardized. In those matters it’s always good to have ethical self-restraint and respect a strict boundary on how much sensitive information you reveal.
I think that would be a good idea. It would raise awareness into the area and force investment into research.
Without that you get these debates, which ultimately are decided by politics and ones ability to debate...

I’ll go to hack a pinning toolkit, the easy pinnings it’s not that much work.
