Netflix is hosted on AWS to name just one such instance. I have heard that internally the customer names are obfuscated, including other Amazon services. Indeed it would be a death sentence to prioritize themselves.
I understand not wanting to use SHA-1 now for security reasons, but is it still an OK practice to use it as a general hashing function for a uuid/data checksum?
Didnt' China try to do this a few years back but was shutdown for some reason? Also, this would double as a great military weapon so I am sure that is being assessed as well.
- rpi zeroW with usb serial for connecting back to my house from work/travel.
I had more projects, but I've been able to replace them all with ESP8266's. Rpi is overkill to do simple things like toggle a gpio pin or take temperature readings. Use it if you have it, but it's nice freeing up extra rpi's with a $2 ESP.
Additionally having a non-standard port does help defend against 0day exploits before patches are available or before you are able to disable the port.
Another reason. If encryption was allowed then you would have a lot of commercial use on public bands but you couldn't enforce it, etc. It would ruin the public bands for everyone.
Also there really is no one AWS, each region is its own (Now more then ever before, where some systems weren't built to support this).
