Is RCE of malware illegal?

["Oliver Schneider" <Borbarad () gmxpro net>]

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?
