@WPalant@infosec.exchange I remember when they introduced the "hackerparagraph" and it basically criminalized "owning hacker tools" like nmap or Wireshark. Is that still the way it is? I haven't paid attention to that special palace of German lawmaking incompetence in a while.

    @hamato@mastodon.social No, there is a high court decision clarifying that dual use tools are exempt from that rule. Source: https://www.golem.de/0906/67887.html
