MODERATORS
Im from politics, where poc means person of color. I hope that differs here?
Proof of concept
Good point. It means Proof of Concept.
Just to clarify this: proof of concept in this case means proof that a cyber security issue can actually be exploited to hurt the target software/hardware.
Yep.
Thanks :) "Exploitarium drops some POCs" is a quite frightening sentence in some scenarios xD
I'm from shitposts where it means piece(s) of crap. So I was wondering why it's news he's dropping logs..
It’s obvious in the title that’s it’s not referring to this.
I can’t say I’ve ever heard of POC referring to person of colour, but I guess people will latch on to anything these days
Not passive aggressive at all, your comment, also i totally didnt know that it doesnt mean Person oft color in this context
