stingwray Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 http://news.zdnet.co.uk/business/legal/0,3...39270045,00.htm Just found this, doesn't look good for us brits. I think this just takes the biscuit of everything going on in cyberlaw at the moment. What are you thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Who in there right mind would hack a mid to high profile server (as in a populaly used web site) from the UK? There is a high chance of been caught. If you want to brake into high profile servers you move to another country first where laws about computer crimes are very relaxed and do it form there (obviusly). Thus making this law compleatly pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrytone Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hmmm... I see flaw. I'm pretty sure a certain Mr Gates realises people are going to use his operating system to hack and crack their way into things. They really need to make it more specific :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingwray Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Its like the government wanting all your encryption keys and passwords given to them when you start using them, just so if they "ever" have to use them they have them already.

Iain Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Interesting - so it seems to relate to those supplying the tools. If sysadmins are to be exempt, couldn't we all claim to be a sysadmin because we all have a system that we administer? I suppose it's down to intent. Surely it's not (or going to become) illegal for me to do a pen test on *my* system? I realise that it's wrong to penetrate someone else's system without their consent, just as it's not right to connect to someone else's AP. I know there's an argument about someone not securing a home network is simply asking for someone to use it - but I think that's another matter. What do other Brits feel - if it relates to posession, as well as supply, are you going to get rid of your pen testing software if this comes into action?

anyedie Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Wow, that is amazingly stupid. If that law is passed then we may be looking at the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsetiAvatar Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Use a foward security package, it randomizes the encryption key after connection is made so there is no way of decrypting it in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
