It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Imagine being such a slave to the US empire you try to take down the internet of an impoverished and sanctioned enemy of global capital.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 57 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For free too I might add. Here's to hoping Xi's secret police pay them a visit.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what I mean, it's so pathetic to do it for free

[–] booty@hexbear.net 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only question I really had for him was some variation of "why?" or "what the fuck is wrong with you?"

So with ctrl+f I finally managed to find the comment where someone asked him that.

His answer: petty revenge because they, uh, tried to get access to some research or something? but he frames it as "I was targeted by an attack powercry-2"

what a fuckin loser

"they targeted me in an attack directly. That was disconcerting. Even more disconcerting was that the USG has absolutely 0 response. I’m a private citizen. sure i have a lot of ties to the DoD but i’m certainly not a warfighter."

Lmao he's a fed and he's mad that makes him a legitimate target.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

I'm like 99% certain none of that actually happened and the guy is full of shit

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

warfighter

You have to chug so much Kool aid before you start talking like this, absolute fed shit.

EDIT:

I held a top secret clearance for over a decade

However now I’ve done work in the space of sort of what they called “guerrilla/unconventional warfare” for folks in the DoD because of this. I’m also working with the folks that would be the ones arresting me and they gave me a nice unofficial commendation (a challenge coin if you’re familiar)

I’m kind of a big hippie but I had to buy a few firearms just for protection. I also have body armor - a lot of it. Everything from hoodies that look reasonably natural to full ski jackets lined with armor to the classic vest type stuff. I do now code with a glock next to my mouse. It’s really weird for me, but hey I chose this life so I can’t complain.

I mean, I do this too but that's just in case the printer turns into a Decepticon.

Dude, I thought I'd seen enough cringe to become indifferent to things like this, but God damn cringe

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 64 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Even the feds dont want him.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

Ok, now I'm 100% convinced the guy is just making this shit up as he goes along lmao

[–] git@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

"Why yes, of course we'd like to turn off our infinite money printer from Congress" said no fed ever.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

I don't talk about this very often, but I have a top secret clearance and was actually sent the script to review. I know this forum is popular with the natsec community, so I'll post it here for the curious. Note that it is for sensitive eyes only, so only view it if you have the proper clearance.

What single script stops all cyber attacks? Did he go and ask the feds to stop using the internet?

[–] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guy has negative opsec. This is basically a script kiddie doing some dumb shit that might get him in trouble both here and in NK. It sounded like the feds were mad he took it down and disrupted their spy shit. Also causing an international incident and exposing all your life details is real big brain.

Honestly, I went to college with 19 year olds smarter then this guy. They at least did basic opsec and had a legitimate interest in not getting caught.

May Allah bring him into the highest position so he can fuck up American intelligence even harder

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 57 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“Both the NSA and the DOD have a ton of talented hackers, yet when it comes to actually performing disruptive cyber operations, for some reason we as a country are just frozen and scared,” Caceres says. “And that needs to change.”

Dude doesn't understand those agencies don't want to do it because that could start a war not that they don't have the ability.

[–] Ossay@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

also he may have disrupted actual intelligence gathering lmao

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

What a chump.
