  • The Situation

    Jump

  • The issue remains that according to 202a ff, basically any hacking is a crime. If you don't differentiate there, you don't differentiate in the 202c either.

    Part of the article in the German comp sci assc magazine:

    In Germany, all forms of hacking are officially prohibited: Sections 202a–c of the Criminal Code (StGB) criminalize the spying on and interception of data, as well as the preparation thereof and the possession of so-called hacking tools. Ethical hacking is thus prohibited.

  • The Situation

    Jump

  • So it’s only illegal if you intend to commit a criminal offense.

    IANAL, but the German wording is ambiguous enough for this to not be clear.

    Jump

  • Fortunately only if it "enables access to data".

  • Which is why the so called hacker paragraph is so very controversial.

  • That you can't get or distribute or enable people to get applications that could enable people to commit cyber attacks.

    Just sent the paragraph through deepl:

    Any person who prepares to commit a criminal offense under § 202a or § 202b by

    1. producing, obtaining for oneself or another, selling, transferring to another, distributing, or otherwise making available passwords or other security codes that enable access to data (§ 202a(2)), or
    2. computer programs intended for the commission of such an offense,

    shall be punished by imprisonment for up to two years or by a fine.

    Emphasis mine.

  • It's just the German law.

    Like... that's how it is. In Germany.

    Magazine of the German association of computer scientists recently did an article on it and we provided this... commentary.

  • 'Here, suck this,' said Roosta, offering Zaphod his towel. Zaphod stared at him as if he expected a cuckoo to leap out of his forehead on a small spring. 'It's soaked in nutrients,' explained Roosta. 'What are you, a messy eater or something?' said Zaphod. 'The yellow stripes are high in protein, the green ones have vitamin B and C complexes, the little pink flowers contain wheatgerm extract.' Zaphod took it and looked at it in amazement. 'What are the brown stains?' he asked. 'Bar-B-Q sauce,' said Roosta. 'For when I get sick of wheatgerm.' Zaphod sniffed it doubtfully. Even more doubtfully, he sucked a corner. He spat it out again. 'Ugh,' he stated. 'Yes,' said Roosta, 'when I've had to suck that end I usually have to suck the other end a bit too.' 'Why,' asked Zaphod suspiciously, 'what's in that?' 'Anti-depressants,' said Roosta. 'I've gone right off this towel, you know,' said Zaphod, handing it back.

  • Unfortunately, the skills would then be owned by you, which the company rents, too. If only the company could actually own you, maybe then it'd be willing to invest into your education.

    Yeah, not being a native English speaker maybe results in... language issues. This is just a translated comic, after all.

    Then again, I don't see how this particular language oddity would reduce the funniness of the comic, so maybe I'll just pretend I didn't read your comment.
