You think a country of 1.4 billion people is utterly incapable of metallurgy, simply because some of their products are intentionally designed as cheaply as possible, to be sold on a market that wants products sold as cheaply as possible?

Are you also an expert on 3D nano-scale material science? It sounds like you only know a couple terms about stainless steel on a macro scale.

So 1 country down, 193 to go? Threatening the entire world with a financial meltdown is not a bluff, or in any way a reasonable thing to do. It's tantamount to a declaration of war, and we'd get what we deserve if the rest of the world treated it that way.

Either way, the stature and role of the US internationally has been forever altered, and not positively.

How many of those CEOs did Nazi salute at a US president's inauguration?

It's about not supporting a company whose CEO is a Nazi. OP knows nothing bad will happen, and I suspect you know it too.

It's not insane at all. It is the entirety of their business model, so it makes sense that they will do everything possible to keep that sweet surveillance cash flowing.

In what world is a massively profitable company paying almost nothing in taxes polarizing?

Can you take your very thinly-veiled racism apology elsewhere?

I'm not sure why you think your personal opinions about mentioning that a well-known racist was in fact a well-known racist matter, and why you think you have some sort of say in another person's blog post. This "scale" that you think the author is putting their thumb on does not exist. They are writing on their own personal website.

I agree, returning legit banners on common ports is likely to get you looked at more rather than less, since most tools are not accounting for situations where every single port is open, indicating false positives. This is a common scenario on penetration tests, and while it does end up wasting time, I'd rather not give attackers any more reason to be looking at my infra. I would prefer port knocking, which is kinda of the polar opposite approach to this.

Notably this only works on internal networks that rely on ARP at layer 2.

I read just recently that they no longer even recommend the Milwaukee Protocol, as it's not been shown to have any significant effect.

I look forward to James Kettle's yearly research results, he's the most incredible appsec researcher I know of.
