For research probably no. A lot of this stuff hangs on intent. When we ground away on computer crime legislation we tried to keep innocent acts from being criminalized. So in general things done out of curiosity are pretty safe. However be squeaky clean. If your house/apartment and disk drive are littered with "destroy the established powers" literature then you are close to the ham sandwhich that can get indicted. If it is funn of "gee whiz this tech stuff is neat and let's go and explore" then you look like a ham sandwhich and more like a chiccken salad sandwhich or better yet a tofu surprise sandwhich which are much hader to indict.. This is all said in kind of analogical fun jest but as they say many a true word is said in jest.Is it illegal if I perform a vulnerability scan on a site without permission from the owner? How about a simple port scan? thanks.. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
