Engineering is always competing with hacking.
Creating something that works well is not the same as creating something that is resistant to attack.
A good deal of hacking is the persistent use of simple attacks along a wide surface area.
A lot of people know how to engineer great stuff, few people know how to build and break things.

@shafik@hachyderm.io @regehr@mastodon.social You are correct that squirrels are essentially an "asymmetric threat." There are many squirrels and you have only one bird feeder.
