Message-ID: <4BDEF97D.6050505@extendedsubset.com> Date: Mon, 03 May 2010 11:27:41 -0500 From: Marsh Ray <marsh@...endedsubset.com> To: full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: Re: go public to avoid jail If your knife is found in a dead body, you've going to have some explaining to do. If it turns out that you're a restaurant supply business that sells 3000 of that model knife a week, then you don't have a problem. If your buddy comes to you and says "I'm going to go stab some people and take their money will you construct for me a custom knife particularly well-suited for that purpose" and you say "sure, here you go, heh, no charge this time" and this conversation is recorded as evidence then both of you are going to get prosecuted. No one (seriously, no one) is going to be the least bit impressed by the "factories sell knives all the time" argument. The point is that you knew this specific knife was intended to be used in for this purpose and you decided to go out of your way to help. Hacking/pen-test tools can definitely push the gray area a bit, but the custom-knife-in-dead-body example does not. - Marsh On 5/3/2010 5:34 AM, Christian Sciberras wrote: > No, I'm being damn realistic.
