N.Z. Bill Adds Provision For DoS Attacks, Cracking Tools 4
Jon Ward excerpts from an article on IDG.net.nz: "The select committee report on the Crimes Amendment (No 6) Bill has proposed two new sections to the bill with significant implications for all web users. The first new section is targeted at denial of service attacks. The second targets the creation, distribution and possession of 'hacking software.'"
Oh well, maybe I'll become a criminal (Score:2)
Interesting how the author of the article seems to think that making people keep up with the latest antivirus software is somehow a bad thing.
Me, I'm in possession of "hacking tools". Buffer overflow exploits. Encryption breakers. Port scanners, packet sniffers, password crackers, the lot.
I wonder if my employer (a university) will object if I can no longer do valid security research legally any more.
Probably not.
*sigh*
