Hello.
You write about the ยง 202c StGB.
It is still active. But there was a big hype about nothing...
It is quite simple:
If you debug a network, then it is permitted by the owner of the network. No problem there.
If you debug a network/ check a project and you get data from a foreign network "accidentally", without any criminal intention, then there is no problem, too.
If you sniffing out a network without permission of the owner (supporting or making possible a crime), then you go to jail.
That's it. Simple enough, or?
About the needed programs:
They are assorted as tools. Like a hammer. You can use the hammer to drive a nail in wood. That's OK.
Or you make an ugly hole in the head of your neighbour. It's the same tool, but that's not OK.
If you are the manufacturer of hammers and you reclaim "Made to make the ugliest holes in human heads", then it is (unfortunately for you) prohibited to sell (or give away) your tool.
Means: No Problems with software for debugging or making security-checks.
Software, intentional made for sniffing/ spying and supporting criminal using, is not allowed under this law.
Any difference existing in Romania?
Or, please let me know, why this law is "scary"?
Greetings,
Hartmut
