"If you see any results like 192.168.0.4:3000 is available!, you should tell your colleague to secure whatever she has running on that port"

Someone's going to access this page at $BIGCORP with an overly trigger-happy IDS and get a fun morning meeting with IT to un-quarantine their machine.

Yup, excited for the meeting. Haven't seen those guys in a while.

Was expecting to learn some security techniques, instead got essentially port scanned :)

Whereas I'm learning that my network is fairly secure against this type of port scanning.

Of course, mine was too. I'm sure in part due to the diligent security team that will be stopping by my desk in the next few days!

Since I work from home I'm both the security team and the guy who inadvertently ran a port scanner in his web browser.
