@LeoRJorge @theodric Offering irrelevant / off topic advice is pretty normal for humans where complicated or obscure questions are in play (source: reading lots of StackOverflow and forum responses written before the advent of stochastic parrots). That said, I do agree this is likely slop since the point about the passwords would have to be hallucinated.
@EveHasWords @theodric Yeah, maybe I was giving too much merit to the Microsoft employee who posted the reply...

@kr3st3n@infosec.exchange @theodric@social.linux.pizza @phloggen@expressional.social a related one is to generate a bunch of very large benign archives to flood the scan queue before it picks up your payload, giving it time to execute before the system flags it.

@theodric

@theodric In an unrelated statement, a Microsoft employee also recommended the use of generic locks that are easy to pick, lest you’ll never be locked out of your house again.

@theodric relatedly, if everybody uses the same password the odds of someone guessing a password goes way down, right? Like, if there are 50 people in an organization and they each have their own password, an attacker is 50 times more likely to guess a password. That's just basic math.
