I was thinking that. Flood the market with fakes to deter the average skript kiddie

The logic is a little problematic, because it also means you mislead ordinary users, and honestly the infosec industry has a conflict of interest as well.

I disagree in the infosec conflict of interest. Flooding might even be a product in some vendor.

...well of course it's beneficial to their product, and a detriment against everyone else, which is why I called it a conflict of interest.

Either that, or you used the wrong word. Care to elaborate?
