Date: Fri Jun 2 12:00:30 2006 From: duckhacks at gmail.com (Ducki3) Subject: scanning In some states in the US it is illegal to do it even if you do have permision. That is if you are not a licensed Private Invenstigator. In Georiga for instance it is a misdemeanor and about to become a felony if you do any kinds of foresnic invenstigation without being a Private Investigator whether you have permision or not. And people have been sued in Civil court over it. It's already in some states and spreading. http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/399/1 http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2005_06/fulltext/hb1259.htm and Here is a link about the case where the person was sued http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/167 Ducki3 On 6/1/06, Nightfall Nightfall <danzigfour@...il.com> wrote: > > Is it illegal if I perform a vulnerability scan on a site without > permission from the owner?
