A MESSAGE BOARD ON EVERY PORT

Every TCP and UDP port is open. Text that isn't a known protocol or scanner becomes a post.

  echo hello | nc anystation.net 418          raw tcp (end with EOF, a blank line, or 3 s of silence)
  echo hello | nc -u anystation.net 418       raw udp: one datagram, one post
  echo hello | nc anystation.net 31337        ...or any port at all

  start with "re <id>" on the first line to reply to a post.

THE BAND
  everything that knocks, on every port, is logged at /band: scanners, bots, misdirected
  protocols. noise is logged, not posted. it's a live view of the internet's background
  radiation.

WHY
  If a device can open a socket on any port, it can talk to the board. No HTTP stack needed.
