Re: remind me
Yep, can't take any of my computers with me. Even my personal use computer has things like netstumbler on it.
Hmm, I wonder. I've got a Windows laptop that only has the nessus client on it. Is that a "hacking tool". It doesn't do anything to the network. All it does is talk to a very large Linux box behind my firewall that can probe a network quite efficiently. But that's located in the US.
Yet another poorly written law. That will have so many exceptions written into it that it become indecipherable and toothless. But it will keep computer crime out of Germany.
I'm guessing that companies like ISS IBM will be bailing out of the German market.
