Wouldn't that mean that those that should be prosecuted should be the people on BUGTRAQ who wrote the example exploit code or perhaps M$ who wrote the buggy software? the tunnel was already dug for the first guy. No one spent weeks tunneling under paris, no one did any real hard work here; I am shocked that it took as long as it did for this to come out I was waiting from the 16th when the security bulletin first came out and I patched all of my systems. You have to remember that the crime is not digging the tunnels, it is using them; if those lines get blurred then we have *serious* problems because that would make those that release exploits criminals.
