And then when Frack came out with Smashing Stack and Fun and Profit, it was all clear immediately.

I think that has flipped.

And I always like to compare it against the early companies who did safety assessment for cars.

The car industry tried to sue them and outlaw them and says, what are you doing?

You can't show the people how dangerous it is to drive without a seatbelt.

But they did.

And now everybody has learned that it is right to have a seatbelt.

It's good to have a seatbelt.

And the same thing happened with this article and with the exploit development.

In the beginning, they were hesitant.

They were blaming the hackers for releasing such destructive technology.

But if the hackers hadn't released it, then other governments surely would have exploited these holes anyway.

Nmap was the grandfather of all port scanners out there.

I like that this article is in there because it shows that GPS jamming is not really cybersecurity.

But GPS in itself is a technology that everybody uses and that nobody ever really thought about how vulnerable it is.

And because it is already a very weak signal coming from the satellites, of course you can jam it.

But it was not apparent to everybody until we released the article.

And then you could buy jammers.

Two years later, you could jam us all over the place from China and whatnot for very low money.

But it was Frag First who released that article and got this idea out there that, hey, GPS is actually very easy to jam.
