So apparently this post is illegal.

Wooo. Fucking. Hoo. It’s official: The German bundestag passed a law illegalizing the posession of tools whose aim it is to break computer security.

nmap, tcpdump, or *gasp* metasploit: Illegal in germany.

Watch in awe as network administrators just suddenly stop administrating, universities delete linux from their servers (Cause like it’s illegal!), and people teaching computer security stop teaching (Who needs security experts anyways, when the internet has been declared hacker-free. I mean, this will sureley stop people who were planning to do something illegal anyways.). Basically, business as usual, but now we can get jailed for it.

To celebrate this occasion, I’ve just downloaded nmap. You can, too: It’s here, please be aware that clicking this link and downloading and compiling the source is illegal in germany, and might get you thrown in jail. Really, it’d be funny if it wasn’t actually a law.
