hello, i don't know what you can do. Looks like those ppl are out of their minds as usual. if you really want to be on the right side of the law, then you can get a shell a/c on a friendly US/Asian server and then use it. Slow, but then worth it. But how the hell can you scan your internal network, that needs it the most ? regards omicron On Fri, 27 Apr 2001, jochen mader wrote:
Has anybody here read about the european cybercrime act? It distrubs me quite much to not have seen anything on slashdot and in this list about it. Do you no what impact this thing will have on our work? It will make our work nearly impossible by making it illegal to use tools like nmap, nessus, statan under ANY circumstances. This thing will become a LAW within the next few weeks (probably months). It has got that far that there is only one voting left to make it a law, and there is nobody there who knows a thing about security and privacy and they will harm ALL of us.
