I can't believe how some companies assume a port scan is some sort of attack. I've actually gotten automated abuse emails back when port scanning some addresses. Madness.
- Spivak 5y agoThere’s always going to be tension when it’s comes to “strong signals someone is acting in bad faith” and the exceptions. I mean if you saw someone standing on your sidewalk taking note of all the unlocked doors and windows they see you would be right to be kinda suspicious. The over under on “they’re casing your house vs they’re a window lock enthusiast” isn’t great for the enthusiast. But unlike IRL you can just say, “ya know what I don’t really care to support any exceptions and so anyone who’s checking my windows is autobanned.”
