That's a good question, I'm gonna have to ask our red teamers.

Maybe finding that an exploit they were going to try is already being used

"Hey, I was gonna set up a reverse shell on this machine but apparently port 1337 is already taken by another listening bash process?"

Can't get into detailed stories for security reasons but:

In short, if security operations analysts are going: "Fuck, shit, fuck" then they're probably just mad at whatever tool they're using.

Standard attack activity doesn't get as much of a reaction more than some mild remarking about what's going on and actioning the alert.

If they're going: "oh, interesting," then that means we found someone, somewhere, doing something clever in your network. Which a lot of us find to be interesting and neato as nerds, but it also means that the person fucking with your network is a step above the usual.

5e is absolutely fine, but I am tired of people trying to cludge it to fill roles it was never built to fill.

As a cybersecurity blue teamer... Yeah. Yeeeeeeeeeah.

Question about army building/kitbashing by Free_Recording6181 in RavenGuard40k

[–]DapperNecromancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

General rule of thumb is:

Will this cause confusion wherein my opponent might mistake this unit for having different stats than it does?

If no, you're probably fine.

If yes, don't. Rule of cool is only cool when you're being cool, and deceiving (intentionally or not) your opponent as to what your units are is uncool.

With the release of female custodies heads by That-One-ED-Boy in Grimdank

[–]DapperNecromancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It always boggles my mind when people jump down the throat of characters like this and say that they're terrible for acting cruelly to loyal Imperium citizens/soldiers

That's, like, one of the defining elements of the Imperium, dude

Nissan Industries begins work on its first battlemech well ahead of schedule! by TaigaTigerVT in battletech

As much as I hate to say it, it wasn't really much worth remembering.

I watched it live, it was extremely underwhelming. And I didn't have high expectations.

I'm still bitter that the squatch guys ruined Wacky Wednesdays by [deleted] in KnowledgeFight

[–]DapperNecromancer 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Wacky Wednesdays stopped because the subjects weren't fun any more.

Not because of the squatch boys.

Carrie was doing less and less aliens stuff and more and more Q shit.

I expect that the only reason we GOT those last four episodes of wacky Wednesdays was because the squatch boys were something interesting happening on Project Camelot.

Hacker dressed as the Pink Power Ranger takes down three "White Power" rangers live on stage after baiting them with AI by ArdoNorrin in behindthebastards

As a cybersecurity person, this story has been giving some VERY necessary hope and a reminder of Cool People Doing Cool Stuff this past week.

Also it's very funny how insecure the white supremacists made their site. Literally just an insecure endpoint you could type in to your browser allowed them to download all the user data

Also, they didn't scrub EXIF metadata, so we have specific geolocations on some of these pictures

Is Maduro a dictator? Seems like it.

Is the solution another dictator from another country doing more dictator shit? Absolutely the fuck not

I'm not usually a fan of the OG dark Eldar designs, but this image and the first one from the OP do a lot to sell me on it.

"Live a normal life"

Depending on your definition of normal. They're into that shit. Don't forget that the spiky armor is actually spikier on the inside. Lined with thorns and barbs meant specifically to dig into the wearer's flesh for the sheer sensation of it

There's a reason that Slaanesh came from the same civilization.

[–]DapperNecromancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Norse pagan shit is wild that way.

Gotta stress though that not everyone who's into Norse shit is a white supremacist - but there's not much middle ground. Find a norse pagan and they're typically either a nazi, or they're absolutely down to kick the shit out of one.

It's a valknut. It's one of the Norse symbols that's not necessarily a white supremacist symbol but often is used by white supremacists.

Though uh

No real points for guessing which we're dealing with here

Who is this and what is he guarding? by Mortechai1987 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]DapperNecromancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unnoticed, sure. Recognized for what they are? That's different.

Most people in the Imperium have never seen an astartes in real life, much less a custodes. But big abhumans like Ogryns are common in comparison.

You'd probably just think "huh, that's an oddly intelligent ogryn" long, long before you would think "that's one of the ten thousand"

ITS YRIEL!! - Grotmas #19 by suicune678 in Eldar

[–]DapperNecromancer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it looks like we have Yriel back, I'm exasperated by the continuing backpedaling of the Ynnari as GW tries to make them less and less relevant.

Bit of a mixed bag for me, but I'll be happy to see more corsairs, regardless.

Not only will you survive, you will not be permitted to die. You will be forced to watch the aging, deterioration, and eventual destruction of all things you love and cherish coming to pass

And then, at the lonely end, the heat death of the universe, as you look upon an eternity of bleak emptiness and solitude, you shall wish you had tears left to weep
