Penetration Testing

Legal

I’m a Swiss resident, and under Swiss law, it’s not legal to manufacture, import, market, advertise, offer, or otherwise make accessible programs that I know or must reasonably believe will be used for malicious purposes or provide instructions on the manufacturing of such programs.

Thus, I’ve decided to make this and its related notes private :(

Law: Art. 144bis Schweizerisches Strafgesetzbuch (StGB)

  1. Any person who without authority alters, deletes or renders unusable data that is stored or transmitted electronically or in some other similar way shall be liable on complaint to a custodial sentence not exceeding three years or to a monetary penalty. If the offender has caused major damage, a custodial sentence not exceeding five years or a monetary penalty shall be imposed. The offence is prosecuted ex officio.
  2. Any person who manufactures, imports, markets, advertises, offers or otherwise makes accessible programs that they know or must reasonably believe will be used for the purposes described in paragraph 1 above, or provides instructions on the manufacture of such programs shall be liable to a custodial sentence not exceeding three years or to a monetary penalty.
