Stealing someone's bitcoin? It's just network connections. Logging in to some admin portal with default passwords? It's just network connections.

Why would they write bugs in software if they don't want to write bugs?
- matheusmoreira 4y agoNone of your examples have anything to do with nmap though which in its most basic form is just connecting to ports to see if it works.
- kccqzy 4y agoYou didn't understand my comment. It's not about the specific thing (be it nmap or some other tool), it's about the intention behind using the tool. The administrator of the network didn't intend to allow port scanning, but there were no technical measures (firewalls) to prevent it, and you did port scanning => you're wrong. The writer of the access control software intended to have no bugs, but a bug slipped in to allow you to exploit it => you're wrong.
