Re: [opensuse-packaging] Distributing Metasploit on OBS?

Hi, German law prohibits delivery of tools explicitly designed for hacking other machines, so the answer is "No". Ciao, Marcus On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 12:10:53AM -0400, Uzair Shamim wrote:

Hi,

I'm curious about if it is legal/within rules to distribute Metasploit on OBS? I have been able to get the package to build and so on but I am not sure if this breaks some rule for distribution. Part of my concern is that Metasploit does come bundled with exploits so it could possibly cause issues with the law.

Any feedback/answers would be appreciated!

Uzair,

It is definitely legal in the US, the concern is German law. OBS restricts itself to hosting packages that are legal from both the US and German law perspective.

There are some "auditing" tools in OBS that a user can use to attempt to hack/crack their website / passwords.

Metasploit is conceptually similar in my mind so it is conceivable.

Do you want it in a home project? devel project? factory?

Hi,

For now I would like it in my home repo but it would be nice to get it into at least a devel repo. Besides the legal questions, part of the problem for now is getting some of the ruby libs I need for Metasploit built in my repo and then I would like to submit to devel.
