The megas are getting bigger

Marshal Sasha

He rented all types of servers around the country in the cloud and designed a denial of service (DoS) attack

What a uniquely skilled individual!

His feat did not go unnoticed. Over the next year he had meetings with officials from the United States Cyber Command, the branch of the armed forces dedicated to this field. He also met with officers from the Marines, the Space Operations Command and intelligence (NSA). Cáceres shared with them the keys to his successful operation and told them that, in his opinion, similar operations could be carried out with small commandos of two to four hackers. That would give them agility, autonomy and the ability to react.

Me, a cyber-commando, dressing up in full tactical gear, ready for anything, for the trip from my gaming chair to my refrigerator to get beer while I watch my rented Azure servers send spam to a small country’s routers

He tried, but failed. “To do anything you need authorization, which takes six months to get. And when you get it, what you wanted to do no longer works. That is the reality here in the U.S.: we have very, very good people working on our cyber defense, but they are hogtied. They can’t do anything, even though I know we have the resources to do a lot.”

Smh our bureaucratic government won’t approve my request to start a war with the DPRK from my couch

If he did this to any other small nation, especially a US-aligned one, he would be charged with a serious crime. The US can’t openly do electronic warfare but they can stand by and watch this clown do what basically amounts to cyber-terrorism, a least for a little while

Anyway, now that he doxxed himself I hope the DPRK actually gives him something to fear lol

Also

And ever since he took down the internet in North Korea, he has also been approached by the National Security Agency (NSA). Everyone wanted to know how he did it.

Lmao

This is peak journalism, they obviously took him at his word

Why don’t they just move to El Salvador if they like Bitcoin so much

Thank youu for the advice

Maybe I should go lurk some clothing forums or something…

Cool and good

Does she ask about the folder?

I am not watching this

I love your weird orange cat

Someone who just got 500 dollars

No idea where from and from who though

Thinking about these pictures of me I discovered a few months ago

It was me at like age 6 in a long, flowing purple dress obviously just having lots of fun wearing it and moving around in it

I think my parents put me in it cuz they thought it was hilarious (cuz I was AMAB and in the “wrong” clothing) but I guess I was completely oblivious to that and just liked wearing it :3

Completely forgot about this until I found those pics lol

I only started seriously thinking about gender stuff until I joined Hexbear a few years ago (many such cases ) but maybe that experience had more of an effect than I can directly remember

I guess I’m still mostly male-presenting irl still (not really out of anything than it’s “what’s expected” of me) and I only just started telling people close to me irl that I wanna go by they/them pronouns but I think I want to try presenting more neutrally in general. I don’t really know how though… I have the most boring generic nerd fashion sense too lol

And I ended up writing way more than I intended lol

Don’t go to harmful.cat-v.org and look at their political sections, worst mistake of my life

Fuck

You were even able to log into their ancient computers over the network… every Unix nerd should have the opportunity to log into an ancient Unix system running on a real PDP-11. It’s so different… and so slow lol

Reckon it’s time for chat to rile up them hogs?

The hacker space is a really great idea, I should look into that, thank you. Would love to find/make some Plan 9 weirdos in my area lol

Ooh I didn’t know what a groove box was til I looked it up just now, looks cool but I’m sorry you found out you didn’t like :(

I hope at least you can find good money in computers or get to work with them in some capacity related to things you like. Like… computers on the ocean… ocean computers… or even just getting to help people. I think I would hate most computer jobs lol cuz so much of it is the most useless shit

I gotta go to bed, am really tired, but it’s been fun talking

I would love to see that lmao

I actually have worked on a few open-source projects but I never submitted my patches… then I forget about them and they get lost to time lol. On stock OpenBSD (which I run), my desktop PC’s audio is kinda broken (long story, can link you a post I made about it if you’re curious) so I had to patch the OpenBSD kernel Intel HDA (corpo acronym but the last letter means “audio”) driver to make it work properly (had to add a whole new mode of operation for what I think is probably broken hardware, like my motherboard manufacturer fucked it up). I’m still maintaining that patch on my own lol, I need to submit it.

It’s good advice and I don’t mind, I’m just maining untreated ADHD rn, maybe that’s why I don’t do these things

As for my own projects… these grand and often probably ridiculous ideas for software (recent example: video game as a filesystem) come into my head and I hack on them obsessively for a while and never finish them because of the scale :(
