Security tools (port scanners,vulnerability assessment software, exploit development frameworks,web proxies,fuzzers and debuggers etc) are like hammers . You can use them to beat your shields into shape or you can use them to wack someone on the head . Just like you need to be a lock smith before you can buy lock picks maybe we need a self regulation system ? Require a permit number before download and finger print the tool with the permit number . Make the tools send the permit number with each packet and maybe we will have a method of b*tch slapping script kiddies?
