RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] network scanning?

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Any insane security officer should have made sure their systems were
secure to begin with. *shrugs* Not accussing you of being a maddog
(pronounce it backwards) legal crazed freak.. just think companies that
resort to such things have to expect to be punished. There is a strong
history of the cracker community retaliating for such things and I'd feel
the need to spark that shit off if someone used legal tactics against me.

On the other hand if they cracked my machine in retaliation for me
cracking theirs I'd be impressed and probably leave them alone. Or if they
backtraced it and offered a job that'd be pretty cool to though I think
that happens less these days as the Net is more corporate.

I scan my home machine from MLUG several times a day. Is that breaking
University policy?
