OK, sure. I appreciate that explanation but I wasn’t unsure about how ways the Flipper Zero or devices like it might be used (just as I’m aware there are reasons for and against the existence of backdoors in software). Based on your response, did you think I was in favour of banning it? I never intended any value judgments about how it might be used, but perhaps some people are reading into my use of the term “exploit” even though it’s not always a negative term.
I added the edit above because I was trying to figure out the intended meaning of the comment I was replying to, since it didn’t make sense to me. Probably it’s just awkwardly worded and that threw me off, since it doesn’t make sense otherwise.
Pretty sure he’s saying they’re ignoring the vulnerabilities entirely, and instead trying to push the blame onto pen-testing tools. Like saying that a disease is spreading because of all the testing, rather than because they stopped treating the drinking water.
Cool, if that’s the case then it actually was the same thing I was saying. If someone had just made harmless fun of the misunderstanding I would have laughed right along. Too bad the atmosphere got weirdly ugly for some reason. Anyway, thanks for taking the time.
