Sorry, but this is NOT REALY RIGHT! The new german LAW is talking about Software which was build to hack sites. "Security Software like nmap, nessus etc." are not build to do illegal hacking. (Greetings from my Advocat from Offenburg) The german Justice can not do anything if I use the tools to secure my network. Since i have had over a longer time heavy DoS attacks on my Server located in Offenburg/BW/Germany, I am already known to the Justice and the Justice know, that I use such tools.
