Subject: Full-Disclosure is now ILLEGAL in France ! (Vulnerabilties, 
Technical details, Exploits ...)

A new anti-security law was voted yesterday in France, this law called 
LEN (loi pour la confiance dans l'?conomie num?rique), the article 34 
with his 323-3-1 says :

"The fact, without legitimate reason, of holding, of offering, of
yielding or of placing at the disposal equipment, instrument, a
data-processing or program conceived or especially adapted to
make the facts envisaged by articles 323-1 to 323-3 is punished sorrows
planned respectively for the infringement itself or the infringement
most severely repressed."

Translation :

- having or distributing exploit code and/or detailed vulnerability
information and/or information about hacking techniques, is ILLEGAL.
- having or distributing hacking/security tools, scanners, pen testers, 
or technical white papers is ILLEGAL.
- magazines and websites distributing security information about 
vulnerabilities or exploits are ILLEGAL.

pathetic !

the term "hold...without legitimate reason" replaced the the presumption 
of innocence by the "presumption of culpability", it means : "Any person 
handling exploits/viruses (researcher,consultant,hacker or kiddie) is 
guilty, and is in an illegal situation which could lead him to be 
charged - And if you are charged, YOU have to prove that you are
innocent"

Send us our "green cards" - thanks !
