HTTP implementations have had vulnerabilities due to insufficient
checking. Thus HTTP is a bad idea.
SMTP implementations have had vulnerabilities due to insufficient
checking. Thus SMTP is a bad idea.
SNMP implementations have had vulnerabilities due to insufficient
checking. Thus SNMP is a bad idea.
Come to think of it, IP stacks have had vulnerabilities due to
insufficient checking. IP is a bad idea, too.
