I don't know. If some one charged me with gathering intel I would be drawing up all sorts of battle plans, including weakness analyses like these. Hell, I would even try them out in the field. I would consider this my JOB.
- marvin 13y agoThe relevant questions here would be _who_ tasked you to do this and _why_. Working on technology to be used for indiscriminate surveilance is simply outside of my ethics. I would resign rather than do this job. Obviously not everyone agrees, but there are plenty of tech people who have a strong moral compass which prevents them from doing this kind of work.
- DanBC 13y agoWhat if your task was to find weaknesses in operating systems? You join the organisation, and are told that "the enemy" is using a particular OS, and it is your job to get as many exploits for that OS as possible. Those exploits are passed along to someone else to actually deploy. So far, you have no idea that your organisation is spying on citizens of its own country.
