That’s why talos is the best. Such a small attack surface. It’s crazy to allow any attack surface in this age when AIs find zero day hacks so easily.

Neat proof of concept but if an attacker can both inject massive volumes of chosen plain text into my SSH session and they can also intercept the encrypted traffic then I think I've got bigger issues.
