Grant Wilcox, an ethical hacking degree candidate at the University of Northumbria in the U.K., said the Wassenaar Arrangement rules were one reason he decided not to publish exploits he developed for his dissertation. Wilcox’s published dissertation is missing several pages that describe proof-of-concept exploits, including one that completely bypasses a current EMET 5.1 installation running on a fully patched Windows computer. The university s ethics board stepped in and prohibited him from publicly releasing the code; since the public release of exploits is a university ethics violation.
