Toni,
The English version has this information in Chapter 38, I didn't find it in a
Chapter 34.
The key to all this is the language of intent, using verbiage such as
"aggravated", "unlawful", and "to cause detriment". This is the same as the
United States and many other countries; if you don'

Hey Salo.
I know that the act of port scanning without permission
is illegal even though easily done thanks to Fyodor's nmap.
The thing is that I find it really funny that I can not distribute
nmap legally to a friend at some other point of the Internet
and ask him to port scan my IP address.

For the last message and that I forgot to include where

They are on the following translated document of the

You can find sections 9a and 9b on pages 143 a

True, s/ware is different from a gun. I mostly meant it tongue in cheek.
But I can't help but wonder, what with the increase of people learning to
code (mind you, there's a diff between hobby and serious, I accept that),
and the whole Internet of Things, and the fact that most modern hardware

However, it doesn't have to be illegal for someone to sue you, or include

If I recall correctly, version 1 of metasploit actually had exploits for
*live* sites (a bank) and things, so that is obviously an issue. I don't
even think you will find a copy of the first version of metasploit (does HD
have one locked up somewhere, who knows).
Currently, metasploit is a hammer.
