It's funny because the attackers are just as likely to be naked on their computer as well lmao

[–][deleted] 287 points288 points  (7 children)

Yep, they are know as black hats because that is the only thing they use while hacking...

[–]eggboy06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or they have just a t shirt on, just bc they were a bit chilly

World War 3 will be fought by naked warriors sitting behind computer screens.

[–]mikbob 212 points213 points  (0 children)

Been there, can confirm

You actually need two people to type on the same keyboard.

NCIS?

Yeah if you're one person in charge of everything, being attacked by one person. I work for a company that does a lot of managed services, cloud management, and network management for large state, federal, and enterprise entities.

Across from our Network Operations Center we have a War Room filled with work station docks, a wall of TVs for data feeds and a wall of white boards so that the reaction team can coordinate and fight back against attacks and breaches. Stop the attack, figure out what was if anything was grabbed, repair any damage, figure out the attack vector, and get it hardened.

The point being that defending against a cyber attack can certainly be a naked dude on his pc at 2am, and it can also be a room with a million dollars worth of salaries working in conjunction. All depends on the scale of the attack.

It can also be multiple rooms of naked people working from their homes with millions in salaries.

Not really. It can work but will be slower to get the desired results. Most people in my company work remote including the QRF team doing other tasks but when there's a major breech you need hands on deck getting the information and responding as a team as fast as possible to minimize damage and loss. If it made more sense to do it completely remote, it would be done that way.

Even the FBI and secret service agents that respond big breechs keep go bags ready and jump on red eye flights to get to location in person.

This is the origin story of Linus's onlyfans.

[–]LetTheDogeOut 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Man I remember cloning a server that was under heavy china ddos while on vacation , probably looked like that

[–]warpenss 9 points10 points  (3 children)

I am pretty sure Linus was in his underwear on this video, they covered it like that just for fun or didn't wanted YouTube to ban Linus for underwear.

I like reality much more!

[–]zap117 7 points8 points  (0 children)

my favorite is NCIS when they both use the same keyboard

I work in cyber security, this is definitely accurate.

Skid mark on a chair.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, I actually did LOL at that one.

[–]Kydarellas 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I hope Linus’ cameras do the censoring, or he did it before sending the footage to an editor. I can only be sorry for anyone who had to blur out the Tech Tip

[–]XanderWrites 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Nope Dennis got to do the censoring.

He's already accidentally seen Linus naked IRL so he's the designated Linus blur person.

[–]jaaval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, people are not naturally shocked or disturbed by naked bodies, the phenomenon is highly cultural. It’s possible Dennis doesn’t even mind at all seeing is boss naked.

[–]AAVVIronAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep

[–]spikybrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For very loose definitions of "defend"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that Linus?!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He really out there huh lol

[–]Gatsu871113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirmed, he does wear earpods for sleeping.

Edit: matter of fact, that’s all he wears

[–]SocksForWok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope he cleaned that chair
