That is not overly clear to me.
One example is pyrit. I have that in my home project now:

It's for cracking wireless networks. Is that one okay in OBS?
I'll treat all pen testing tools on a case by case basis going forward. Can I just email you privately to ask if they are okay, or should I post here on opensuse-factory?
Mostly on a case by case basis :/
e.g. the metasploit framework definitely is a no-go.
As for pyrit, it seems the only purpose is cracking WPA things... I would need to check with our legal guys, but the answer might tend to be "not good". Lets just ignore that for now (and don't try to put it in Factory ;)
Not your fault of course but what a dumb law... Criminals use things like reading to gain things like knowledge to commit crimes, therefor outlaw reading and gaining knowledge. How stupid do you have to be to make it illegal merely to have/host/share such software, when that is the only way to protect _against_ such software? Like I said not your fault of course, don't mistake my purpose. The rule-makers everywhere are idiots, or at least have very opaque and probably undesirable aims, probably very often both. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
