- antimeme 4y agoDid you... actually read the article this comment responded to? Or even the comment you're replying to? The original article proposed making all ports non-privileged because most systems serve a single user in practice. Are you really going to argue that changing the port to 8080 is insecure because someone could snipe it but making all ports non-privileged is better because... now someone can snipe 80 as well?
- im3w1l 4y agoI agree with the article that privileged ports is a bad idea. I disagree that making them free for all, or using a free-for-all port is a good solution. You propose it as a simple solution but it has many issues.
