They don't deserve it, but then you don't really deserve any technical conversation, yet I continue. Maybe I'm a softie. Of course, the very idea behind this software is freedom, so maybe it's good that the people of these oppressed countries are exposed to it. Maybe they can keep their movements secret through free encryption and anonymization software.
It's working in China right how, where they're using advanced tools made by open source hackers to evade government scrutiny, while at the same time others are getting thrown in jail based on information given to the Chinese government by American companies.
You haven't quantified anything, except that we supposedly benefit from some Russian hacker who contributions are so pathetic you're too ashamed to even name them LMAO.
I don't name it because everybody who does any networking with Linux, and many other 'nixes, knows what it is. Anyone who knows anything about the hacking community (as any good IT security person should) knows who the author is.
I'm letting you sit in your ignorance to continually prove you don't know what you're talking about with regards to 'nix networking and security (although it is now available for Windows, too). Here's another hint: as with any good network mapping tool, it can also be used to crack, and it was shown on the movie Matrix Reloaded to do just that.
Still stumped? It's in the top 20 projects out of over 40,000, and the top-listed security tool, at a certain open source software repository.
Oh yeah, the contributions are really pathetic. You're so out of touch with the security community, the equivalent in the political world would be you not knowing who Dick Cheney is.
How dare you equate some Russian hacker to the vice commander in chief of the US! You're obviously obsessed and infatuated with these foreign hackers, well beyond reasonable belief.
