Honest Hacking

I've read many life hacks and even watched a show about life hacks. I love the life hacking movement and what it's done for me. The issue I have is with the hacking that involves dishonesty or manipulation. I'm not interested in lying to someone to get a deal or putting someone in jeopardy of their job because I hacked the system and made them give me something they shouldn't have. Is there a distinction between honest life hacks and the dishonest ones? Perhaps I should create a site for the honest ones.....
