Why Damn Vulnerable Linux is legal! |
|
Written by DVL Team
|
In June 2007, the German parliament passed changes to the computer crime laws,
including §202c StGB, which states (unapproved translation):
Whoever prepares a crime according to §202a or §202b and who
creates, obtains or provides access to, sells, yields, distributes or
otherwise allows access to
- passwords or other access codes, that allow access to data or
- computer programs whose aim is to commit a crime
will be punished with up to one year jail or a fine.
Additionally, this new section is interwoven with other laws, including
the ones covering terrorism. The current interpretation includes the
acceptance of others committing a crime using material
as violation of §202c.
Damn Vulnerable Linux is legal according to §202a, §202b and §202c!
Damn
Vulnerable Linux is a training environment for IT security experts in
academia and
NOT a hackers toolbox! It is NOT thought to enforce any illegal
actions but thought to train the development of secure software. It is
meant for educational purposes and teaching in university lectures. It
is NOT meant to enforce any
illegal actions. By downloading and using Damn Vulnerable Linux you
agree to stay legal!
