The following rant is not against the owner/project - but...

What an irony. I cant publish a attack surface mapping / pentesting tool i wrote which runs fully deterministic and really controlable due to "dual use" legal problems - but llm driven tools hit public space......

sorry for the rant....

Are you referring to GitHub policies? I haven’t seen issues like that from people publishing security tools before.

Metasploit is one example: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework

		No im referring to the legal terms of germany, the country im residing at. Our laws regarding "hacking" are arguable the strictest and worst. The problem is that they are formulated in a way that it is super easy to have your software being possible "dual use" and that a judge has to decide if its fine or not. Making it worse it also states your "intention" which well is impossible to proof - if the judge says he doesn't believe your intentions are only good, you can literally get massively sued. So ye i could move to another country and than publish it - apart from that i can let it rot on my hdd (which is prolly what will happen). Edit: Additionally mentioned, it is not just the publishing in germany, even the facilitating already which is why i don't even have an article about it (any more).

Completely understand, the legal landscape has really shifted around AI/LLM tools. I see tools drop everyday that spit in the face of DMCA/Copyright law but they skirt by mainly because they leverage AI
