This of course is *very* dependent on what country you are in.
In the US, the most important law involved would probably be the DMCA,
which *does* have an exception for reverse engineering for compatibility
research (17 USC 1201(f)), encryption research (17 USC 1201(g)), and
security testing (17 USC 1201(j)).

Note that 17 USC 1201(j)(2) *specifically* hints that you *really* want
an in-writing "Get Out Of Jail Free" card for 18 USC 1030 and related.
