What's this mean? It means that if you

up in court. Having done pen-testing in the past I have disabled (dos-ed) systems and entire networks with a portscan. My employer would never let me do any work withaout a prior written agreement. However, law is highly fluctuate over time and from country to country. Dutch law recently changed. In the past you had to have broken a security barrier in order to be accused of hacking, now it has changed to "with the intent to do harm". Is it illegal? Not enough data to compute / that is one for the lawers... Is it unwise? Probably... Will you get cought/sued? Unlikely... Would I bother to sue you? No...
