And to g105b, I’m also sorry if I’ve implied any inappropriate noobness, it sounds like what you built was pretty cool. Please take whatever abuse you received

  hey, with web sockets I am a noob. I'm generally quite ok with internet security as a concept, but I was massively naive in my implementation here, and one very obvious vulnerability in my code was allowing to store anything the connection received, rather than forcing to just a single character. It tempted someone to upload binary content. After only a few minutes, the server was full of random binary data. Curious, I inspected the content, and after finding a massive dump of illegal content I thought it was best to turn off the server for a bit while I think about improvements to the code and wash my eyes out.
