If you want to move goalposts... Then fine. But I won't engage in that bullshit.

It IS trivial to implement. It is literally a non-zero thing they could have implemented but chose not to. That's all I've claimed.

Go strawman someone else.

If you think that IP blocking stops credential stuffing you really are out of your depth.

You can slow it way the fuck down though if you do it right. But nah, I'm out of my depth supposedly. You sound like a fucking tool.

I think what he was trying to say, implementing those strategies would deter 90% of rookies (using kali toolkit as a service), but not the 10% who got the right technical knowledge and enough motivation to clamp down on what they want.
