The notice on ftp.bit.nl predates ChatGPT. Perhaps more relevant: "Beg Bounties" 280 points, Nov 8, 2021, 104 comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29147555

> Want to be a bounty beggar? It's dead simple, you just use tools like Qualys' SSL Labs, dmarcian or Scott Helme's Security Headers, among others. Easy point and shoot magic and you don't need to have any idea whatsoever what you're doing!


Alternatively to bounty begging, one could use these tools to find vulnerabilities and then try to figure out why it is a vulnerability and how it might be practically exploited. Seems like a good way to learn real security research. (Don’t actually exploit it, though...)
