In the 18th. slide we have this sentence:

Vulnerabilities: - We buy our servers from an Iranian on eBay

I've got two questions for the creator of these slides (Bruce Potter):

1) When was the last time you found an Iranian selling servers on eBay?

2) Where do people come up with this kind of generalization for any country?

You must not watch the news. Iran has lo ts of terrorist activity. To think otherwise because of pc bullshit, is dangerous.

I'm an Iranian Hacker, I don't need to watch news to know what is going on in my country. Apart from a gross generalization, Let me tell you why the statement in the slide can not be true. because of sanctions imposed by US to Iran, no Iranian can be selling anything on eBay at the first place.

I personally know Iranians that use eBay. They aren't in Iran and haven't been for a while but still.

..and why did the US impose sanctions on Iran? Do we need to go through a history lesson?

What pc bullshit?
