No no not saying there wasnt. Research is needed for sure and education is very important. But the fact of most matters stand in that area where some code may not exactly be up to par from "some students" and still exaust itself on the public internet of things where little real oversight actually happens from its origin until it has already impacted multiple destinations that did not ask for it. Definately did sign up for it! and with all the proper checks and balances, can handle them appropriately at 2am when when N students have been asleep letting their code run wild. Sorry not picking on "you/this" in particular on your part. It's just not all of them are exactly up to par while following what they believe are best practices governed by an instructor(not you) that deems it benign where I have found some instructors/educators have very little knowledge in the field whatsoever beyond a textbook and a home computer/lab. I look forward to the school years to begin, it brings a challenge where traffic from skids drops between certain hours in different countries and the detection begins for advertisement scanners and real threats. Noise is cool, it gives pretty results where the ugly of the networks typically just annoy you. Not cool when its amplified by N number of whatever (advertising/company/students) like a udp amplification attack but initiated by india.edu, america.edu, X.edu all at the wrong time.
