Ten years ago, Nate Eldredge wrote Mathgen, a system for generating math research papers:

These were pretty early efforts by current standards but some of the results have been accepted by journals, see https://thatsmathematics.com/b... showing that somehow not all mathematics research journals give the greatest scrutiny to submissions.
With the intervening advances, it seems likely that these will become more common.
No, you can't downgrade SMB3.1.1 to any lower protocol with a MITM attack. That was one of the fixes in SMB3.1.1.
Google "Pre-authentication integrity in SMB 3.1.1"
SMB3 can't be downgraded or compromised by dictionary attack.
SMB3 actually *is* safer, due to the cryptographic protection meaning you can't MITM downgrade it.
No, Synology and QNAP are active bug reporters to the Samba project. I fix bugs for them both on a regular basis. Funnily enough, the Apple client engineers are also very active Samba bug reporters
