This of course is *very* dependent on what country you are in. In the US, the most important law involved would probably be the DMCA, which *does* have an exception for reverse engineering for compatibility research (17 USC 1201(f)), encryption research (17 USC 1201(g)), and security testing (17 USC 1201(j)). http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode17/usc_sec_17_00001201----000-.html Note that 17 USC 1201(j)(2) *specifically* hints that you *really* want an in-writing "Get Out Of Jail Free" card for 18 USC 1030 and related.
