A raid on the alleged author of a well-known hacker toolkit is raising eyebrows among electronic civil libertarians, and putting security researchers on guard.

What can I say? This is a serious threat to any security concious system admin. How can anyone test the security of a network without the same tools that a malicous hacker would use. Moreover, where do authorities draw the line? Will we soon be threatened for using common windows tcp/ip tools for security purposes?
