What's funny, is all these issues were raised when Apple rolled out Zeroconf (old name for Bonjour). Apple pointed out that it wasn't a vulnerability, and that not doing it was akin to punching people who came in the front door, while leaving illegal entry unattended.
- smoldesu 5y agoIt's also worth noting that Bonjour support for other devices was a complete shitshow! I had iTunes installed on my old Windows 7 desktop, and Bonjour was the service that taught me how to forcibly exit a program in task manager. It must have had a memory leak back then, because I remember seeing it chew up anywhere from 100 to 500mb of memory...

- nielsbot 5y agoI thought it used to be called Rendezvous :) Edit: Yes. "After its introduction in 2002 with Mac OS X 10.2 as Rendezvous, the software was renamed in 2005 to Bonjour following an out-of-court trademark dispute settlement." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software)
