Legit uses of "hitbots" ???

I've spent the past couple of days writing a "hitbot"
for security testing on a paysite that runs under
*BSD. (as does the hitbot, pure C and with IPv6)

While it works great and finds the little mistakes of
the 2 remote webmasters on the site of the guy that
had me write it. My question now is this just plain
evil technology to let out or should I follow the spirit
of the community and release it as "beerware"?

I did a quick search and it seems that there are no
Unix tools of this type for security testing, but LOTS
of Windows tools that seem to be ment just for the
purpose of ripping of sponsors. Is it too risky or are
the scam artists not smart enough to bother with
setting up FreeBSD?

Opinions?
