About the blacklist: tcpdumd/snoop and wireshark: no way, maybe metasploit on a gray line, mostly 0day stuff floating from irc to email to email etc are a real problem.
Can you give me a legal guarantee that tcpdump will in no case be considered as a hacker tool? No, you can't. It always depends on mood and understanding of the judge in question, and potentially other factors.
Actually this is the biggest risk of this law. Taking away "hacker tools" from sysadmins and software developers will decrease the security of the swiss IT infrastructure. It is like outlawing vaccination.
