What was hacked?
1 comments

Running hacker tools against aircraft operations will get you easily indicted. This can be seen as probing an aircraft defenses for weaknesses.
Define a hacker tool - is the whole computer a hacker tool because it could be used by a hacker? How do we define tools that can be used both legitimately and illegitimately. The tools used were common network diagnostics tools.
It's what the Feds decide to indict you with when you get caught, or are daft enough to put up a blog saying you did on an airplane.
