Use. If you possess it, but do not use it or distribute it, then it's legal?

However, it depends on the laws of the country you are actually in. Some countries are more restrictive.

Depends. If you interpret DMCA a certain way, tools that can be used for cracking can be illegal.

In the United States, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) made software cracking, as well as the distribution of information that facilitates software cracking, illegal.

Just for fun, guess what country Subsim is in.
