En fait l'auteur repond déja a sa question dans la F.A.Q :
Why would you release this distribution when it's obviously a hacker tool? Or, If you love hackers so much why don't you marry them?
Strange fact, security professionals need the same tools, the same knowledge, the same skill sets as "hackers". In fact, often the only thing that distinguishes a security professional from a hacker is their motivation. I can't control people, I'm simply providing a tool that I hope will teach essential security skills that the user can put to good use in all aspects of the word.
I should also note that all of the tools provided in STD are publicly available outside of the distribution and it seems to me that those "evil hackers" out there have an edge up in understanding them. If you are concerned about the state of security on the internet, you should be. If you want to do something about it burn as many copies of STD as you can and pass it out to all of you friends and relatives.
So far as the scr1pt k1dz go? They have to live off the work of others without having the skills to give back to the community in even the simplest way. They are leeches and parasites in the worst possible form. I can't stop them from using STD, but unless they are interested in learning from it they can piss off as far as I'm concerned.
