You're essentially appropriating other people's computing resources for your own agenda, even if it's a good one, without the owner's permission. That's a crime

I'd just suggest using the scanning portion to identify unsecured connections that should be added to a firewall's blacklist.
Maybe that could be a good SAAS service that would provide a blacklist of all unsecured IOT devices and printers to everyone interested for blacklisting purposes.
- AznHisoka 10y agoDon't most of these devices send an unique user agent indicating what type of device it's from? If so why not block based on that?
- RandomlyGen 10y agoYou'd still need to parse the UA, which takes resources. Plus the attackers have root. What's preventing them from spoofing the UA?
