good point.

some recent european (or are these only french?) laws allow prosecuting
based on attempts.
but this seems theoritical, as I don't see how to prove the "attempt" since
logs can be
forged.

on the other hand, if the attacker does not cause damages, you can only
prosecute him
for having tried (he finally only accessed a service where you redirected
him), and
if the redirection is well done, he won't cause damage. Am I missing
something?
