In response to "is RCE legal?" I'd like to raise a funny question with a serious background: is RCE of malware illegal? Imagine the spyware distributor has a EULA explicitly restricting RCE. Assume furthermore the spyware uses rootkit techniques. If you reverse-engineer it, you break the EULA (and you are not part of the legal system while doing this).
From my understanding the reverser of the malware (or suspected malware)
does something illegal, no? ;) What do you think?
