Malware Noob Month Post #11

Is writing malware illegal? No.

If writing malware was illegal everyone in vx-underground, and associated with vx-underground, would be in prison by now.

Writing malware is all about intent. What your intentions are with what you've made.

If you write a cool malware proof-of-concept and then do nothing with it, you just did it for the love of the game and fun, then it's not a crime.

If you write a cool malware proof-of-concept and open sourced it on GitHub for others to review, give feedback, or to study from, then it's not a crime

If you write a fully weaponized malware C2 (panel, builder, payload, modules), and then keep it all for yourself and do nothing with it, then it's not a crime.

If you write a fully weaponized malware C2 (panel, builder, payload, modules), and then share it privately with friends, then you're potentially putting yourself in a small (microscopic) amount of danger. If your friend uses it for a large scale malware campaign, and you're identified as the author, you might have some legal problems.

If you write a fully weaponized malware C2 (panel, builder, payload, modules), and then exclusively sell it to Threat Actors, then that is a crime.

If you write a fully weaponized malware C2 (panel, builder, payload, modules), and then sell it to Red Team companies for ethical stuff, then it's not a crime, but you should probably consult with a lawyer in the event something bad happens and you're blamed (it leaks, used without consent, etc)

If you write a fully weaponized malware C2 (panel, builder, payload, modules), and then sell it to the government and/or it's allies, then it gets weird and you're probably just a patriot or something, I don't know.

If you write a fully weaponized malware C2 (panel, builder, payload, modules), and then sell it to foreign adversaries of your government, then it's a crime (probably)

Oh, ya, this varies in each country by the way. This is the law for the United States. A lot of countries have similar laws. Apparently Germany is not cool or badass though and bitches about shit a lot more because they're lame and old

Oh and I'm not a lawyer, or whatever. This is just my dumbass opinion, or something

i stg the amount of work i do for this fkn website, i should be making millions from this site. idk why i do this shit for free smh

I remember when Discord first came out. It had a bunch of money, or something, from something or someone. Nobody knew how Discord would actually make money once their piggy bank went dry.

Eventually it was said they'd sell digital stickers and customized UIs.

I thought to myself, "That's the stupidest fuckin' thing I've ever heard of. Who in their right mind would pay to have dumb ass stickers and graphics on their profile ... in a chat software client? This entire company is going to go bankrupt in 6 months"

Anyway, I guess I'm the dumb ass because people are throwing money at them. I never imagined people would pay for the most basic customization features.
