Default Uhmm, am I reading this right? Using a DNS lookup tool now days is considerd a hack?

What technology <...insert expletive here...> idiot judge was ruling over this case? Careful about using a DNS lokup tool you big l33t Hax0rs out there! You could get in trouble!

Rediculous!

From what the article describes.. his "crime" would be equivalent to looking up someones phone number in the telephone directory.. and then publishing that information! [GASP]

Our network manager just made the analogy of telling a carpenter that hammers are now illegal.

When DNS tools are outlawed, only outlaws will use DNS tools

That is a perfect analogy.

I sent this off to a couple people at Microsoft. The dns devs will get a kick out of it.
