What is this red and neon yellow rope thing? Kinda looks like a bracelet? (infosec.pub)

It looks like it would fit loosely on a wrist. Not stretchy material but it can be tightened/adjusted.

Looks like a pretty shitty prusik loop. Usually used in climbing or other ropes applications. A good prusik would be of a better rope quality and the knots would be more robust but same principle. More likely a summer camp bracelet of some kind.

Just for those of you that don’t know what’s a Prusik loop
