A truce towards not cracking on the weekends
​A call for attackers and defenders to have a peaceful weekend.
​
All those involved in cybersecurity from a technical perspective, love the cat and mouse game of crackers v/s trackers (defenders). But we need to draw a line for time to R&R (rest and recuperation), get some sunshine, breathe fresh air or play good 'ol quake/counter-strike/Dota 2 or Starcraft 2. While attackers love weekends due to skeleton staffing, let's have a boundary - No cracking (hacking) between Friday morning until Monday morning, please. As we all know, good guys turning bad is way more destructive.
​
NMAP scan us (defenders), and we will NMAP scan you. ;-)
​
To help this cause, here are some reasons as to why we (attackers/defenders) can agree towards not cracking on weekends. version: 0.3 (03-02-2020)
