Ok, two quick (I think) questions for my tech-savvy friends:
1. Does anyone happen to know what the current US laws regarding writing security-auditing tools are? I'm not saying I'm planning to write any, my plate is more than full at the moment and I'm not yet that experienced with programming anyway, but I'm curious what US laws in that regard are since I know some other countries have been cracking down on such things. (ie, Germany, which has caused the KisMac project to move to servers outside of Germany.)
2. This one is probably going to sound odd, but does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to write formal white papers and RFCs? Is it just considered "technical writing", which means I should probably run out and get Technical Writing for Dummies or The Complete Idiots Guide to Technical Writing, or is there a unique format and style guidelines for each of them? I'm mainly asking this one because I've always found my effectiveness in a given field increases dramatically when I possess the correct tools to communicate in that field and understand how to use them properly.
