Hack-backs are a topic that comes up every few months from government representatives here. There are two big problems I have with this: - you don't know "who" you hit. The case in TFA is still rather simple (just send the "hack" as the response), but you will still most likely hit some residential proxy and nuke some random person instead of the responsible actor
- (this is not too related to TFA but a point in discussions about hack-backs on a state-actor level) unless you're doing a very simple "attack", you need to have some sort of vuln ready to perform any kind of hack-back. Which leaves the ethical dilemma that actors are now motivated to keep vulnerabilities available, thus making the world more unsafe. And once you have used your vulnerability, your "enemy" probably knows it as well. |
