If there is no impairment to the integrity and availability of the network, then there is no crime.So, It's seems that portscanning is not a crime but, what if I scan a network and sell/trade/lend the results to some guy that will cause that impairment to the network? Is it a crime to sell such information?
At least in the US, it's a slam dunk, and one of the primary ways that hackers get taken down (quite possibly as many as under 1030(a)(5) which covers actually hacking in yourself). 18 USC 1030 (a)(6): (6) knowingly and with intent to defraud traffics (as defined in section 1029) in any password or similar information through which a computer may be accessed without authorization, if: (A) such trafficking affects interstate or foreign commerce; or (B) such computer is used by or for the Government of the United States; [1] "passwords or similar information". If it's info that lets the guy hack in, like "the box is vulernable to MS06-229", you're probably in trouble. There's more than a few script kiddies now walking around with a criminal record because they got caught copying files of Windows password hashes around so they could run a password cracker on them.
