(I): Introduction to German law outlawing

Germany is the first European country to introduce tougher laws in this country, laws that will prevent (or so he thinks the government) hacker activities. The so-called Anti-hacking Law
  • said that create or own security tools that could potentially be used in attacks is prohibited.
  • Some amendments of this law clearly defines that even a local attack
  • Denial of Service (against an application) will be considered a crime. "Hackers" - which in his opinion - are the people who commit such attacks, could be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison. Controversy is the best word to describe what goes through the head of security professionals from Germany, who do not know whether they do or do not work. For example, create and own tools, as this can be used for various purposes ...
  • is, not tools can be used to run tests on a network, as these can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) and that password crackers or talk. The fact is that, by law, any security company will be committing an illegality, as in analyzing a network are using a port scanner. This clearly shows that the German government did not take into account the views of these professionals.
  • security consultants expect some modifications, such as those in the law of "computer misuse" in the UK. Many security-related groups are removing the tools that may be related to this law, as in the group "The Hackers Choice
    , or are moving to Holland, as the creators of KisMAC (a network sniffer) on its website reads" German says: Good-bye KisMAC ! "
    But what tools can be used to hack?

    Your browser (you can use to exploit flaws in Web applications).
    Or just a console terminal telnet ... ... ... vi ... notepad?
    For many drivers do not need any other tool to invade a system. (respected German hacker group) summarizes the situation: " seems that German politicians have now decided that the country is free of security problems
    . " That with his pen and his total lack of knowledge created another stupid law that will not solve any problem
    .
    And the security companies? or close or be "criminal" ...
