Will be used in scenarios with much more at stake than someone's belligerent teenager.
Think of these features in the broadest sense you possibly can.
- ajross 3y agoAre you thinking about something specific? What's the scenario where the public harm to a usage control bypass becomes more valuable to an attacker than the bug bounty? (Edit: <sigh> than the bug bounty that the linked author desires. Really?) Remember that both of these technologies don't allow the device to do anything it isn't able to do in its default configuration. They're essentially a form of DRM: disallowing otherwise useful activities because of the desires of the owner (and not the user). Would you demand, say, Apple pay a bug bounty for a DRM bypass that let people rip Netflix videos? Probably not, right?
- Aeolun 3y ago> What's the scenario where the public harm to a usage control bypass becomes more valuable to an attacker than the bug bounty? Since the bug bounty is zero. All the time?
