		frankharv on Sept 18, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 0day Contest for End-of-Life Devices Announced I think we need a cyber swat team to assassinate anybody doing a port scan. You want to play with something you don't own or have permission to play with it. Assassinate target. You want to make money/fame off others. DIE. If somebody came to you house and started jiggling doorhandles what would you do? Why is cyber different? NO CONSEQUENCES.
