So you are admitting publicly that you and a class of students that you
teach are illegally testing random public=20
websites for the purpose of learning about security vulnerabilities?
Sounds like you/your company need to speak
with a lawyer. =20

This probably won't sound like that big of a deal, but it still bothered
me so I figured I'd ask the list. I was teaching a Web Application
Security class last week and we were performing simple XXS, SQL
Injection, etc on the vulnerable web apps I use for class.
