Most likely not, but, as others have stated consult a lawyer for the nitty gritty details. > if it is, can i get an license to do penetrations test? You could just ask, can't you? I have done so on several occasions with customers or possible customers. Ask someone, but remember _to_get_it_in_writing_ (email). Then you are at least in good faith. Anyways, if people run an anonymous FTP-service I would take that as an invitation to pop by for a visit. The way I see it: it is a bit like asking is it legal to browse a website or write a spider? You might want to consider who and how many sites you will be scanning as someone might be very annoyed at the increased traffic. -- Lars Bahner, http://lars.bahner.com/ Nihil est sine ratione cur potius sit, quam non sit.
