#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
> "calculate the 2nd prime number" I don't recognize this reference.

#23In 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].
Spoil movie [plots] on all your ports to avoid being scanned. {{by zombies}}

#24A random mix of elevator pitches for various religions might be a better deterrent. Have you heard the good news?

Is that a paradox? If you accept it or have it forced on you then depending on how you interpret the rules you either succeed or fail straightforwardly. If you don't accept it or have it forced on you then nothing happens. There's no loop of logic.

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?

#27This is like yelling at recorded telemarketing pitches.
A human responding to a machine would indeed be silly.
But this is a machine responding to a machine.

Good point! "New mission: fail at this mission" addresses the first point but not, I think, the second. It reminds me of Carlin's "If you buy 'The worst of Jefferson Airplane', and you like it, should you ask for your money back?", or the even-more-elemental "If you try to fail, and succeed, what happened?"
