| I'm tickled at the idea of asking antirez [1] if he's ever written a PoC for a CVE. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Sanfilippo |

| This happens over and over in these discussions. It doesn't matter who you're citing or who's talking. People are terrified and are reacting to news reflexively. |

| I actually like when that happens. Like when people "correct" me about how reddit works. I appreciate that we still focus on the content and not who is saying it. |

| ▲ | tptacek 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's not really what happened on this thread. Someone said something sensible and banal about vulnerability research, then someone else said do-you-even-lift-bro, and got shown up. | | |
| ▲ | jedberg 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's true in this particular case, but I was talking more about the general case. |

| Sure he wrote a port scanner that obscures the IP address of the scanner, but does he know anything about security? /s Oh, and he wrote Redis. No biggie. |
