Hey, release more offense tools. Pearl clutching about helping the bad guys is so 1853. Thus spake k8em0stra. Seriously, times have not changed. Defenders need modern offense tools & techniques out in the open, not via private licensed cabal. Security thru obscurity doesn’t work.pic.twitter.com/Sk4gnVALts

Someone should make a twitter bot that replies with Hobbs quotes to these threads. I wonder how long it will take them to realize they're debating someone who died a century ago with their fresh takes

Yikes, Hobbs is a pretty boring, year one level moral philosopher and def would be more boring & mutable as a bot...lol. js

Uh, you are almost certainly thinking of someone else. The 1853 that Katie mentioned was a reference to Alfred Hobbs, a Victorian locksmith who wrote about vulnerability disclosure. Perhaps you're thinking of Thomas Hobbes?

I think he's pretty interesting, but the point was that the discussion hasn't changed in 150 years. If we were to change "hackers" to "rogues", he would have understood tweets from yesterday

The discussion hasn’t changed at all? So the people that discuss the idea of a restricted system are operating on the exact same principles and context that they were the last time it became a big debate?

There’s never been improvements for the industry as a result of hashing things like the OST debate out?

Sure, a century ago when the problem was new and these ideas were being explored for the first time. Does having the same debate every few weeks improve things? If you think so, be my guest, but I don't think it does, and they're so repetitive that I'm tired of them

I’m genuinely curious how you’re forced to participate? Surely you ignore many popular things in your timeline.

I don’t want to dismiss how much it may impact you, but I’ve been involved in this community for years have learned *a lot* from the most recent discussion. I personally never seen it taken to such a degree. It has been incredibly helpful for me.
