If Lemmy could up its porn game, reddit would just be bots saying catchy things to each other.

I met Captain Crunch around 2012, really nice and still insanely curious about phone systems.

Target sent credit card information to the back of the store unencrypted. Bluetooth didn’t need encryption because nobody can get that close. You could stop 50% of malware by changing the name of your windows directory. Security through obscurity was believed to work, every automated oil rig in the gulf was operating in the clear even into the 2000’s.

Wild times.

Since 9/11 they’re generally locked off from the public in the US. I attended some mass casualty and terrorism training and we talked with someone who ran their city water and sewer. He had a neat plan to radiate the city water system he helped them defend against.

Good analysis; one note I’d make is that I’d assume western intelligence has tried to do some seismic mapping of the site by sneaking recording equipment nearby. No telling how accurate that would be, but they might have a rough idea what they’re up against. His analysis holds true, though, even with that note.

If you don’t have a reason to work with the group, accept that this is a one-shot for you, which may be retcon’d as needed.
