Although not a tool, there has been an interesting move in the EU about future legistation, The wired article " Watch Out, White Hats! European Union Moves to Criminalize ‘Hacking Tools’" http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/04/hacking-tools/ highlights some of the reaction to the proposals. The UK Computer Misuse Act 1990 as modified by the Police & Justice Act 2006 which created Offence 3A does have the work "Intent" in it. However often it is more about how a tool is used rather than what the tool was designed for, the whistles in the Cap'n Crunch cereal boxes where designed as tools however also produced a 2600 Hz tone when blown phreakers like John Draper discovered that the free whistles also produced a 2600 Hz tone when blown. This allowed control of phone systems that worked on single frequency (SF) controls. The whistles where a tool that could be used for hacking but was not designed for this purpose. The debate on tools is going to go on for a long time and the lawyers will benefit the most.
My weekly blog on the tools that have come to my attention over the last week, it is not a comprehesive tool list but tools that I found interesting or details of tools I use that have been upgraded.
