How to Disclose or Sell an Exploit Without Getting in Trouble

Presented at DEF CON 21 (2013), Aug. 3, 2013, 6 p.m. (20 minutes).

You have identified a vulnerability and may have developed an exploit. What should you do with it? You might consider going to the vendor, blogging about it, or selling it. There are risks in each of these options. This 20-minute session will cover the legal risks to security researchers involved in publishing or selling information that details the operation of hacks, exploits, vulnerabilities and other techniques. This session will provide practical advice on how to reduce the risk of being on the wrong end of civil and criminal legal action as a result of a publication or sale.
