State of the art in malware owning human?
What is the state of the art in malware owning the human, not just the box? ...or DoS the human, making them inoperable. Maybe it is something like 25th frame, possibly with auditory vector. Or better remote hypnosis. IIRC on some forum about epilepsy someone posted ``weird image'' which causes severe crisis in some epileptics of certain form. Some info about 25th frame: http://strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pubs/parameters/articles/98spring/... --- According to Solntsev, one computer virus capable of affecting a person's psyche is Russian Virus 666. It manifests itself in every 25th frame of a visual display, where it produces a combination of colors that allegedly put computer operators into a trance. The subconscious perception of the new pattern eventually results in arrhythmia of the heart. Other Russian computer specialists, not just Solntsev, talk openly about this "25th frame effect" and its ability to subtly manage a computer user's perceptions. The purpose of this technique is to inject a thought into the viewer's subconscious. It may remind some of the subliminal advertising controversy in the United States in the late 1950s. --- F-secure claims: Russian Virus 666 There is no virus by this name.

"...or DoS the human, making them inoperable." - Panopticon, have you heard of it? You can usually trigger some basic feelings with these techniques. Complex influence requires complex mechanisms. PSYOPS and the like. Couldn't resist. -Travis On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 9:50 AM, Kurt Buff <kurt.buff@gmail.com> wrote:

those are just samples. The general category of malware is called 'statism' (and theocracy is the oldest form of government) so called 'representative' government is a particularly nasty strain. More than a few people even in this list got the infection.

Where in the stack are you attacking? For behavior, consult old Phracks on neuro-lingustic programming. A brush of the hair, a touch of the elbow, anything that builds rapport and makes the mirror neurons light up. Simple tricks used by street magicians and con-artists - script kiddies of the mind. Only works against soft targets. Below behavior, ideology. Surprised to see religion and states listed here - both applications consuming the API of currency. Have enough money - or appear to - and anything can be leveraged. Belief in the value of currency is universal. Riyals, dollars, euros, bitcoin, shiny rocks and gems, common stock, Yazidi slaves, it doesn't matter - given the right amount of the right commodity, you can get what you want. Even easier if it's not real - counterfeit bills, gold paint, or better yet fake commas on a screen. Transfer complete, here is your passphrase. Below ideology, biology. Dopamine pathways can be trained to respond to stimuli without ever leaving kernelspace. Salt, fat, cum, phenethylamines, sucrose. With the right amount of give and take, control is as easy as ringing a bell. And if your target is an asexual billionaire vegan with a TA-CD vaccination? The answer is simple - scopolamine and DMSO.

After that, consult "Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology" on NLP. Heck, just consult it anyway, it's a great read. Peter.
Here's the mental malware you're looking for; "An abrasive analysis of popular culture under the spectacle of postmodern capitalism with music by Synthamesk. Warning: This video may induce seizures." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYTRIGtyZ44 The seizures are a side effect of the deprogramming. You'll feel much better when it stops.

I seem to recall a raid on an epilepsy support forum, where various animated images were spammed all over the message threads. No hard data on the results that I know of.
