@farooqkz unless it's mining crypto when machines are idle...
@skanman Well... that's not a crime.
@farooqkz of you've infected thousands of computers with worms that mine crypto, I think it's a crime isn't it?
@skanman oh you mean't with someone else's machine? If I had a botnet, I would use it for something better than just crypto mining ;)
@farooqkz isn't a botnet having control over a huge amount of other people's machines?
@skanman Yes it is. But what I say, is that if I had a botnet I could use it for better purposes than just mining crypto with them
@farooqkz Same here, good software defense and dev ops are an extremely high priority.
I learned a cool trick you might like, I disabled ICMP services on a few of my servers including ping, and now most IP/port scanners pass right over my server because it looks dead. 😂 It cut down attempts by about a third a month.
