Public Service Announcement: EFF Coder's Rights Project

This short advisory highlights the EFF's Coder's Rights Project as a valuable resource on the legal nuances of vulnerability testing, reverse engineering, and ethical hacking in the US. It warns that testing without explicit permission is not a legal right, urges immediate and responsible disclosure of problems, cautions against actions that could imply malicious intent (such as dumping databases or hiding identity), and advises refraining from testing if there is any doubt about legality.
