comment How can I protect my internet-connected devices from discovery by Shodan?
Aren't most home routers configured to be only accessible via ssh/telnet/http/whatever from the local subnet anyway? I know a couple of mine haven't even allowed access from wireless users on the local subnet.

I'd be guessing that it's because your bet, and what appears to be guess work, is contradicted in other answers and comments...

@L.DeLeo: I think that's only for a few major site (like google). But there' a plugin for firefox called HTTPS Everywhere that extends that to many other sites.

comment How do you explain the necessity of “nuke it from orbit” to management and users?
Why would you replace the machine? Why wouldn't you just wipe the hard drive and reinstall the OS?

comment Open Source vs Closed Source Systems
True, but giving "access to the source code" is potentially extremely valuable. Having outsider eyes look over your code brings new perspectives that might be missing in the dev team. You could even do something like stripe.com/blog/capture-the-flag, with a real project, with prizes for the best bug found (obviously not releasing details until a fix is out!)

comment I found that the company I work for is putting a backdoor into mobile phones
There's a whole US government website dedicated to whistleblowers, including those who are reporting on breaches of "violations of ... consumer product .. and securities laws." There's likely to be something similar, in most rich countries..
