I uhh wasn’t literally about to go do this or anything…

SODA!!

PaX

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

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

That’s really cool, especially people getting their licenses to help their community. Hoping you don’t have to encounter the kind of stuff I have, ever.

The bands are usually dead here too lol… except for the repeaters during the day

I’m hoping maybe the clubs and the hams in my city will be better

Would you lose your license for spreading leftist propaganda?

I’m not sure… as long as you aren’t broadcasting (something like a one-way signal, no communication, it has a specific legal definition but yeh) and are just talking to people it’s not explicitly illegal but you would probably get harassed and maybe have false complaints to government agencies made about you. Also in the US your callsign is associated with your legal name and address so people can come find you

Plan 9 posting

I’m in and having my callsign permanently linked to my name and address makes me quite uncomfortable in the era of the internet tbh

Thank you, I’ll read this

I found a copy of the book that this 7,000 number is sourced from (Michael Parrish, The Lesser Terror: Soviet State Security, 1939-1953) and it cites the testimony of a “V. S. Tokarev” (named as Dmitry Tokarev in other sources) who was apparently a major general of the NKVD and gave some kind of confession in the 90s. I don’t really know anything about this guy… or the Katyn massacre in general. Does anyone have anything I can read about this whole thing?

In other words… how do you know they’re making it up?

Better to be deadresting than undead like Unix

Plan 9 isn’t dead

It’s just resting

This person’s idea of decolonial struggle:

Ukraine, uhhh America… Hong Kong (not in the way you think)
