I'm thinking http://www.OpenRCE.org is hosted in the U.S. and provides articles/tutorials on reversing. I'm not a lawyer, but I would think that legally you should be alright as long as you don't name names,provide patches/etc. Anthony Towry -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com]On Behalf Of shyaam () gmail com Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 7:03 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Reverse Engineering: Legal or illegal? I wanted to start a website that LINKS to all RE websites around the world. This website wowuld be hosted within US but will just LINK to all other RE Websites. Second question is, would it be fine if this website stores just tutorials related to RE and not the original softwares that help on RE. RE has been common for a very long time within US for the AV/IDS and IPS companies for deriving the signatures from the exploits(according to my knowledge, which is limited). So I wanted to gather some knowledge from the Security Focus groups if I am right and the legal points of such things. PS: I am sorry if I emailed the wrong group. I hope that this email doesnt start an irrational argument in this group, please do give your rude comments if any to my personal email, so that the sanity of groups is protected.
