Sorry. For the last message and that I forgot to include where the chapter 34 sections 9a and 9b can be found.. They are on the following translated document of the Finnish Criminal Code: http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/kaannokset/1889/en18890039.pdf You can find sections 9a and 9b on pages 143 and 144. -Toni On 04/05/2014 01:23 PM, Toni Korpela wrote:
Greetings from Finland. I know that here it is illegal to import, manufacture, sell or otherwise distribute such machine or software which are designed to endanger or harm information and communication systems. This is stated in chapter 34 § 9a. Then again § 9b states that it is illegal to posess machine, software and access information into systems which you can use to endanger or harm information and communication systems. Basically this means that I am not allowed to have ping, nmap or other networking / penetration testing tools which can be used for harm installed on my computer. Though I am not certain if any of these computer security laws have been used to penalize someone. I am not certain if penetration testing tools belong to the category of tools which are designed to endanger or harm information and communication systems. It's quite harsh if I could get fines or maximum of 2 years jail for having Linux distribution with some networking tools installed on my computer. -Toni
