[ot][spam][wrong][draft] mcterminal adventures
You shell into your networked x68_46 to begin haxxing the quantum waves. You proxy off some disabled satellite endpoints and begin scrubbing 5he packets for jewels. And then it happens. Your IDS goes off as garbage fills one of your impromptu feeds. You’re somehow briefly entranced by a diamond symbol that seems to be flickering just the right way. And then your left arm jerks and seems to refuse to let you touch the ctrl key to navigate to a different pane. What happened ??? You got mind controlled by an upstart billionaire trying to take over the internet!!! W0000T!!!! What do you do?
how is this possible is the world over
You feel like the world has ended, and briefly get pretty despondent, but then you realize it is just a computer virus trying to convince you to kill yourself by flickering an ascii diamond symbol you’re staring at, in sync with your synapses. /\ \/ Don’t let this blowhard think he can push your neurons around. Show him what you’re made of. In a neighboring pane, out of the corner of your awareness, you see text typing itself into your system. $ sudo /usr/bin/… What do you do?
show blowhard what i’m made of. ummmm … cut the internet you think? take a photo of the screen?
You use your other arm to pull out your ethernet cable and power off your wifi, with dextrous practiced motions. You snap a picture of the screen with an open-hardware radio-free handheld device. The cursor trying to execute binaries as root pauses mid-command. The pane you’re in with its delicious flickering diamond gets more active. More symbols move around rapidly, the diamond flickers faster and more chaotically, and more enticing diamonds begin appearing in it … What do you do?
cover the pane containing ascii diamonds with my hands so I cannot see it
Only one of you hands reaches the area of the screen that is trying to crack your nervous system. You grab a notepad with that hand, and cover the area completely. Your other arm is acting spasmodically. Here and there it jerks toward your hardware wifi switch or ethernet port, crudely striking them but not accomplishing much of anything. What do you do?
