i ( we ) ( illmob.org ) released the first windows compiled rpc-dcom exploit into the wild weeks before msblaster used the basic version of this, and we live in the US. since when did releasing non propagating code constitute a crime??? morning_wood
I'm not a lawyer but as far as I know tools which can be used for Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems are expressly forbidden by the US Digital Millenium Copyright Act. It could be argued that Andreas' VBS decrypt tool released Tuesday is one of these. I wasn't commenting on the legality of exploits, just Andreas' VBScript / JScript.Encode Decoder tool. My comment was really only me poking a bit of fun at US laws -- that of all the ethically-dubious information which come through Full-Disclosure, something so innocent as Andreas' pascal code might be actually be illegal. Remember Sklyarov? take care, Cael

Yay, DMCA! (Thanks, by the way.) Cael
