Yes but is only a convention. There is a proposal directive (quite linked to this convention). If they are a national application, this should come from the directive (IMHO). For the moment, it's quite vague. For the comment, there is a discussion for "legitimate scientific researchers", maybe Honeynet could felt into this part. (12) There is a need to avoid over-criminalisation, particularly of trivial or minor conduct, as well as the need to avoid criminalising right-holders and authorised persons such as legitimate private or business users, managers, controllers and operators of networks and systems, legitimate scientific researchers, and authorised persons testing a system, whether a person within the company or a person appointed externally and given permission to test the security of a system. The problem with legislation is not easy... On Mon, 9 Dec 2002, Fernando Martins wrote:
