A nearly two-year effort to renegotiate language related to export controls around intrusion software in the Wassenaar Arrangement was rejected earlier this month. This means that the overly broad language in the first draft of the rules, introduced in May 2015, stays for now and it will be up to President-Elect Donald Trump s administration to decide whether to try again. The rules failed to include exemptions for penetration testing software and other legitimate research tools, as well as proof-of-concept exploits used during vulnerability research and disclosure.
