UK gov sets rules for hacker tool ban
,----[ Quote ]
| A revamp of the UK's outdated computer crime laws is long overdue. However,
| provisions to ban the development, ownership and distribution of
| so-called "hacker tools" draw sharp criticism from industry. Critics point
| out that many of these tools are used by system administrators and security
| consultants quite legitimately to probe for vulnerabilities in corporate
| systems.

German Security Professionals in the Mist
,----[ Quote ]
| This hope was important because earlier this year the German Government had
| introduced similar language into Section 202c StGB of the computer crime
| laws, which would have made the mere possession of (creates, obtains or
| provides access to, sells, yields, distributes or otherwise allows access to)
| tools like John, Kismet, KisMAC, Nessus, nmap, and the ability to Google
| effectively a crime.
