Re: Information Assessment Legality

[Stephen <stephen () greyhat-security com>]

Hi Michal, appreciate the advice, and yes, I would be talking to a real
lawyer if I could afford it - however, at this stage I can't, and
because this isn't going to be my main source of income, I can't really
justify spending what I do have on this. At this stage, it's only really
going to be a "hobby" type service - just wanted to make sure what I was
doing wasn't going to have negative legal ramifications, and I thought
I'd ask a few who maybe had experience with it :) Thanks for your input!
