Is there any country where hacking back is legal?
<p>Building on this unanswered question: <a href="https://law.stackexchange.com/q/56150">Under what circumstances could laying hacker &quot;traps&quot; cause civil or criminal liability for non-law enforcement civilians?</a></p>
<p>I was wondering if there was any place where hacking back is legal, and if would be possible for companies to base their operations there, so they have a legal basis to hack back at their attackers.</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, it is illegal in most places, but I'd like to make sure there isn't a country that permits it.</p>

<p>This report summarizes the state of <a href="https://rm.coe.int/16806b8a79" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cyber-crime law in Africa</a>, noting that 60% of African nations have no laws against hacking (much less laws against &quot;hacking back&quot;). It is 5 years old so there may be some changes.</p>
