Including Source for a Potential Hacking Tool?

rajinder asks: "What are the experiences of Slashdot folk when it comes to including the source code of a security tool in their final year dissertation? I have a project in mind that I want to submit that can be used by admins to evaluate the security of their wireless network(s), but it could just as easily be used for their nefarious purposes. Before I submit the idea, I wanted to see if anyone knew of potential hurdles I would have to face. Anybody ever done something similar? The official rules about what is allowed is available in this PDF [or the HTML version], but I don't see anything relevant to my dilemma (the relevant section is 2.4, page 9) UK university-system specific info would be appreciated, but I plan on carrying on my education in the US, so info from either side of the pond would be good. Does anyone know if I would be able to GPL the code afterwards and put it out there? Would it remain property of the University or the student that wrote it?"
