Cyber Rage

A couple of stories that fill me with dread...

  • The ammendments to UK laws would could see the tools used by "white hat" ethical hackers outlawed..
  • The Texas law which could put legitimate computer security companies out of work..
The people writing these laws obviously don't get that crackers don't abide by laws like this, and all it's going to do is make it harder for IT professionals to maintain the security of their networks.

Both things were discussed at the SANS panel tonight.
