Zipongo.com requires that your password is at least 8 characters, but not more than 15. What kind of logic is this?

Latest discord/webhook/homelab integration. I implemented `watch` to send command output to my discord server if different once every 10minutes

Currently using it to monitor captures of IoT or unknown devices to identify or reverse engineer them

Prepping for this weekend's project

Additionally, its not difficult to quietly attach a device to the NMEA2000 bus (especially as staff). Something like this (NOT USED IN THIS INSTANCE) which provided my team with WIFI access to ship's network using a RaspberryPI. Ideally you'd want to use a dark enclosure and tape :D

Works like a charm

I think I'm addicted to webhooks. Ever start a long task, I mean full UDP scan long and want to be updated when its done.

Boom, make a simple script that calls a webhook with a basic message and add it to the end of the process.

I have a raspberry pi that I use for performing active eavesdropping attacks among other things. Sometimes the configuration changes and I need to know what has changed so I can change it back.

This weekend I created a script to at least tell me the current state of the configuration.

The current working title for the cyberpunk game I'm working on is.... vericoban

Added command shortening, so you can save your keyboard! Also, added the ability to supply a password that you learned from a friend, or just try to manually brute force it yourself. But trust me, the brute program is way more efficient at it.

Netrunner game now has some basic commands. Once I get a password, I'm able to move around the level. Both brute forcing and using the password raises the network's alert level.

My sources of inspiration include the NetRunner BBS door game, and multiple card games, the Johnny Mneumonic movie, as well as various Cyberpunk novels.

Created a simple level generator

Screengrab of the early CLI interface. I'm not using an engine. Just started with a simple input-loop.

Practicing prompt injection against this game gandalf.lakera.ai/gandalf

I was able to knock it out in an hour. I'm still not sure if it was that the levels were simple, or that I got teh mad skillz. Either way, it was fun to have some practice. Perhaps I'll try their other games. #promptInjection
