what do you mean? that Micah should have tested the vulnerability, by hacking the server? that's heavily illegal.
Defamation is also illegal, so what's your point? That didn't stop him from making claims about ICEBlock without any actual proof in his rush to disparage this guy and his app as people do when they have an axe to grind. He clearly "handled it in the worst possible way."
if the iceblock dev weren't such a douchebag, they wouldn't be defamed. It's not good if they didn't update security critical software, but what's much worse is how the dev handled it.
In what way is the dev a douchebag? He blocked some self-important troll who has an axe to grind against him. You literally have no idea whether his Apache needs to be updated or not or whether there are any vulnerabilities in his app.
You clearly also have an axe to grind here which is why you have nothing of substance to say and instead rely solely on unfounded accusations and name calling as an argument.
That's usually how that works. You do a pen test and report vulnerabilities found and show a proof of concept of how you did it.
Just checking the version of Apache means absolutely nothing here and any security check that only does that is useless.
if the operator blocks you instead of giving a fuck, the consent for that cannot be obtained.
