Could you point me to the relevant source code? Am highly interested to take a look at it during the weekend.

Closed source, write up would be here:

> Closed source

Ah, so we'll just have to trust you that it's doing anything at all, then.

Forgive me but can we not be skeptical of claims made about a commercial product?

Of course you can, and there are plenty of ways to do so that don't break the site guidelines. Cheap, snarky one-liners are not the way. If someone's posting about their own work, there's no need to be disrespectful.

It's also not helpful to post such a clichéd dismissal of what someone else says or their work. That's in the site guidelines too.

Isn’t his reply valid and an exception to the rule given the context?

We have no problem sharing our codebase with customers, especially if there are concerns like this. Shoot me a msg if you are genuinely interested in anything you have read.

No offense, I am genuinely curious, why would anyone use any closed source software for anything related to security after the Snowden revelations?
