You could read through their entire leaked source and copy their product, it means jack shit. Their product is their pipeline of 0-days which lets them get into the latest products. Nobody else has it, so nobody else matters.
Their actual product itself is pretty shit, but it doesn’t matter because nobody else has their level of expertise and the level of espionage required to hack all of these devices.
Upload a scam ad? No problemo.
50b would be a fair valuation.
Maybe if it was a secure instance you could order for your organisation. Like a police force or consulting company, where you don’t want people eavesdropping on your traffic.
They aren’t capable of generating truly innovative ideas though. Ask it to come up with a name, it will come up with the same weird slop names over and over. Always gives people the surname Okafor. Because it works by generating probable answers, it can only generate probable names.
It takes decades to build the kind of network cloudflare has.
“Please mr bezos, can I connect my new trivial network to yours?” “0.08/GB :)”
(I wonder if they stole that idea from my logs…)
The roads are always full of cars, the pavements are maybe 0.001% utilised outside of places like central NYC. There is plenty of capacity for bikes.
If all you had was an API endpoint, you wouldn’t realistically have any way of figuring out how the internals work and finding obscure exploits.
Instead they court martial anyone who talks about the designs. Because obviously, telling everyone every aspect of your security isn’t actually more secure. How would you know how to do a 24-step process to exploit something if you have no idea what code is running on their server?
Imagine trying to build a cheat for CS:GO if you had no access to the game and could only play it via a remote connection. Good luck.
That’s the whole point, you can find all of these things which would take far too much manual effort.
Imagine all those tasty confidential IP and contract documents they have ingested. You couldn’t buy those.
