Portscanning for smb shares and webcams, LOL. Good times. Found entire offices routing their whole network publicly, back then, shared network drives and printers right there for use by anyone who stumbled on them. It was nuts. Worms spread like crazy. It was a real mess, and that's with the Internet being way the fuck friendlier than it is now.
- garbagecoder 4y agoWhat's ironic is that the IPv6 people will tell you you can do all of that with IPv6. Which is true, but if we NEED TO CHANGE because we're out of addresses then why go to something that doesn't use the address space? The problem IPv6 seeks to address has mostly been engineered around for now.
