Banner Security Warning With everything becoming more and more interconnected via the Internet as an unsecured communication medium, there raises several questions/issues regarding legalities. One of these issues is the issuance of the word “welcome” in the login banner and headings for any given system, server or network appliance. Many discussions have ensued (and still continue today, though not as intensely as several years ago) pertaining to the simple, but powerful, word “welcome”. The prosecution of an individual in a criminal case must show that the individual’s actions were intentional in nature. It would be extremely difficult for anyone to argue that an individual’s intrusion attempts (or actions) were by accident or inadvertent insofar as to go past such without encountering any type of warning or disclaimer on the target system or throughout the network. It may still be possible (though highly unlikely) that an individual that attempted an unauthorized and/or illegal intrusion attempt admit that their actions were intentional. However, upon their sentence, they may argue that they were ignorant to any specified law or that they were unaware that their actions were unauthorized, thereby inducing the court to mitigate whatever penalty may be imposed.
