When it comes to repair, farmers have always been self reliant. But the modernization of tractors and other farm equipment over the past few decades has left most farmers in the dust thanks to diagnostic software that large manufacturers hold a monopoly over.
Farmers using Eastern European cracking software for their tractors, and MS, Apple, etc. want to stop them.

Random? No. Whatever salt we use, we'd need to reuse it for that address quite a lot of times most likely. So, it either has to be saved next to an actual copy of their IP address which would not be good or it has to be programmatically created in such a way as to get the same salt every time for a given IP address. Or you just use one salt for everyone like we do. None of the above are any more secure than the other, though they could waste up to five minutes of some fed's time.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
