Can I post a hacking tool I made to Github?
Found this on Github: Hacking Tools Repository
There's nothing there.
More on reddit.comEdit: Learnt a lot from the comments. This is not a vulnerability or exploit. Its abusing a legitimate app for illegitimate purposes. So, should I post this? I guess someone can learn something.
"Hacking Tool" in the title might be an overstatement.
But basically I found a way to exploit a legitimate app with a legitimate use. And as of now, antivirus does not flag the file in any way. The only security is the firewall which blocks the outgoing traffic (its similar to a reverse shell). But an ignorant user might simply click allow.
So my question is, Can I post this tool on GitHub? Will I get in legal trouble?
I'd love to make a post here to talk about it and explain the whole process but I really am worried about the legalities. It is for educational purposes of course.
Thanks.
