3. If not, what prevents you from doing that?Any worm/virus, regardless of intent, is still illegal -- and I don't think I can get a DSL line in jail.
Not true. Intent is *everything* as far a criminal activity is concerned. Intent aside, if you restrict the worm to your subnet that you own and are authorized to alter the systems on, then even releasing a malicious worm would be legal. Maybe not very smart, but legal. It's only illegal if you affect systems you're not authorized to affect. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and dns services http://www.arcticbears.com _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
