- makapuf 7y agoIf its known for 10 years and not repeated, imagine how many people could benefit from hearing it for the first time (or since it's useful to hear this 5 times how many still need 4 more times)
- lnenad 7y agoHey there, sorry if the point isn't clear, but, at least in my experience, the situation was different 10 years ago, there weren't as many bots, and you had to be guilty of success before being targeted. Nowadays all you need to do to be a target for bots is to exist.

Basically, before the bot nets come the worms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_worm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_worm
- ajflores1604 7y agoI've run a home server as a remote programming environment for a year now and I've never bothered to look at the logs. It was cool to see. While it's obvious to ppl who have used tech for years, with YouTube and how easy it is to pick up programming and start a simple raspberry pi project, there's lots of new ppl to this field who just aren't aware that their home network is being queried constantly.
