For those who want to try it at home:

ping 33333333
ping 55555555

    Disempower users until they stop leaking leaking data.

    Infantilise users until they stop clicking random links in shitty phishing emails.

    Disempower power users until they can’t create security incidents by running shittily patched shadow IT on random open ports.

    If you don’t like it, don’t operate in organisations beholden to

    • GDPR
    • ISO 27001
    • PCI-compliance
    • NIS2
    • IP range reputation
    • Public reputation

    At least for organisations. As a private individual, I want my wide open ports on a public static IP at home.
