New anti-hacking law in Germany

Since Saturday, a new anti-hacking law is applied in Germany, after being approved in may. Because its language is not very clear, it could be interpreted as criminalising the development, distribution or even downloads of "hacking tools" designed to circumvent eg data protection. Even though the government doesn't target security experts, some consider too big a risk to leave proof of concept exploits on their website. This law could impact Nmap and Nessus.

This law could have a negative impact on security, and some companies already have moved out of Germany.
