"Fortunately" (and I don't mean to encourage it), the abrasive people in the crypto community are like that when they tend to be right - and don't want "newbies" to do stupid dangerous mistakes, so their tone comes out a little aggressive by default. But yeah, it could be improved. The community should work together on solving issues the right way.
- _delirium 13y agoFortunately or unfortunately, there are also a reasonable number of abrasive people who tend not to be right, so I'm not sure it's a good marker either way. There's a whole rock-star persona around people who make consulting careers out of trying to position themselves as security badasses, and not all of them are.
- newman314 13y agoI include amongst these, security/network guys that disable ICMP because they read it in a book somewhere. Leads to a lot of facepalming when you are actually trying to get something done.
- ghshephard 13y agoParticularly now that ICMP is actually a requirement for IPv6 networks to actually function.
