Except there is nothing illegal about owning, using, or advocating the adoption of DDOS tools. In the same way there is nothing illegal about owning, using, and advocating the use of guns.
Now how you use a DDOS tool or gun can make the operation of said tool illegal. I am aware there are some pretty large grey areas in that statement. But DDOS tools (like guns) should be legal to use in the case of self defense.
Exactly. When someone attacks you, you have the right to self-defense. The website claims they are merely providing information that is publicly available, the same is true of websites offering information on ethical hacking tools.
Use of DDOS tools to attack a website IS illegal. Full stop. You said, “hey here’s a link to DDOS tools. We should attack them.” That is what I reported you for, and what the mods deleted your comment for. If you want to argue that it shouldn’t be illegal if you can support that the existence of the website somehow created an imminent threat to your life, umm... okay that’s a stretch but it’s a conversation you could have. But don’t move the goalpost and act like you were opening a discussion on the need to revise laws... you were advocating using the tools to attack the above site.
