These videos are always kinda clickbait. He connected it directly to the internet, without any router or firewall.

Yea. You can run xp behind Nat and have an ok experience, the browser will not like modern TLS or CSS. But I will work and what happens in this vid won't happen.

It's still pretty interesting that there's bots out there just programmed to scan the entire ipv4 space and automatically exploit vulnerabilities.
