What is the maximum jail sentence penalty for knowingly setting up a buffer overflow attack?

Answer:
Under 18 U.S.C 1030, subsection (a)(5)(A) it is a criminal offense to:
"knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer". Knowingly setting up a buffer overflow attack would fall under this description.
Under 18 U.S.C (c)(4), the penalty would be: "a fine under this title, imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or both"
