Security Software – Illegal in Germany

Check out this website in Germany. I was looking for an update to the sniffer I use called KisMac to make sure no one around me is trying to spoof the WiFi hotspot I’m using. They had to leave their country to avoid imprisonment.

Now they are in Switzerland.

The new site has this warning on the download page.

If you are a resident of Germany, we advise that you do not download this software. Doing so is in breach of the new law StGB §202c.
