That’s a good idea since phones tend to be online most of the time anyways, although there is some privacy implications as well.
Yeah, your average user isn’t going to be able to secure their mobile server in any meaningful way. We’d see a trend in mobile phone hacks toot-sweet.
This would be such an appealing attack surface. Get a bot net node and someone’s personal info in one swoop? Just wait 4-5 years for a bunch of phones with this feature to stop receiving security updates and then set your bots loose.
And the opportunity for personal attacks… Don’t like someone? Blow up their phone with a DDOS! Kill their battery and online connectivity with constant http requests.
