You don't need to worry about it. If nobody is allowed to look for vulnerabilities in EME, none will be found. So we're all safe :) Personally I think we shoul

Personally I think we should make it illegal to look for vulnerabilities in all software. And while we're at it, just on the off chance that somebody does come across a vulnerability (inadvertently, of course), why don't we simply make it illegal to exploit the vulnerability?
- gmueckl 9y agoWait... all vulnerabilities are bugs and many bugs make software vulnerable in some way (even if not obvious at first). So where do you propose to draw the line between normal software QA (testing and bugfixing) and a hunt for vulnerabilities? My reading is that this would blatantly outlaw all forms of software testing.
- Ajedi32 9y agoGP is being sarcastic. Obviously outlawing finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in software would be useless (since black hats would ignore the rule) and actively harmful to the security of the modern software ecosystem (since white hats wouldn't).
