In an effort to explain what this does, I'd just like to point out how the grammar of the title is meant to be interpreted: [Avoid being scanned] [by spoiling movies] [on all your ports].

#12I have tried to parse this sentence 10 times and do not understand. Reading the Github README did not help at all. Can someone explain what is happening?
This is a short program that listens on a port and responds to any attempt to connect to that port by sending back movie spoilers. The idea being that anyone that tries to port-scan your machine will be punished by having all the twists in all the best movies revealed.
I like this explanation. But is this good network security?

It depends if you want to annoy human pentesters to give you the finger.
Also, no.

#18In all seriousness, if any hacker saw this in their logs, they'd probably say "well played" and redouble their efforts.
Yes we need to fork this into Project Spoilerwall Honeypot.

#19A random mix of elevator pitches for various religions might be a better deterrent. Have you heard the good news?
Perhaps questions like "This statement is false", "New Mission: decline this mission", base64 encoded copies of René Magritte's 'this is not a pipe', "God is all powerful, can He make a rock so big that He Himself can't lift it?", "calculate the 2nd prime number", etc to prevent automated AI attacks.
