Detection logic: To prevent or monitor whether EDR-Freeze is being used on the network, we should rely on the running parameters of WerFaultSecure. If it points to the PID of sensitive processes such as LSASS, Antivirus, or EDR agents, there is a high likelihood that further investigation is necessary.
They’re only allowed to do that if they can find a way to summon them for battle after the fact.
It’s like canopic jars, if you preserve everything he gets to use it in the afterlife.

Anyone know other options?
I think that you should have the freedom to live and raise your children how you see fit, but I don’t see how you can expect that for your family without giving others the same autonomy. I can’t understand the grounds on which you deserve society’s benefits, as a piece of a larger societal system, while wanting to restrict how others can live and express themselves I guess.
I want to believe you have a world view that makes sense though so I’d like to understand. Does every homosexual person have to avoid you so they aren’t in your life? Do you have to avoid anyone else in the same way or is this a one sided rule? What’s the underlying reasoning?

…If we fall off the rope bridge because you did a backflip I’m haunting you though.

You’re doing a great job and you shouldn’t feel bad for being ignorant when you’re literally getting results and learning new questions to ask. Of course it’s not working perfectly! Of course you’re looking for help as you discover more options! You have the desire to learn something new to you, and you’ve made so many steps beyond the first already.
Here’s some emojis to copy and paste until you smash through that problem too. https://emojis.wiki/all-emojis/
Buy it second hand. They can have their initial sale a decade ago and no residual income. I’ll buy it from you when you don’t want it or need some cash! Better burn a backup as well before it gets scratched. Don’t accidentally lose twenty backups at your friends houses though.

Genuine question, how confident are we that an LLM can actually be patched like a deterministic system through prompt and weight manipulation? Has the 95% adversarial success rate that was reported actually moved in the past year? I don’t feel like any meaningful progress has been made but I’m admittedly biased so I know I’m not looking in the places that would report success if there was any.
She’ll be 10 next year! I just had a friend lose his rabbit at 13 and I hope she makes it that far healthy enough to have a good quality of life. She’s a much better pet for me than the iguana or tarantula I had when I was a kid, but I also like dogs. I think rabbits are my favorite now.
Hi! I saw your post about moderating and I think it’s cool that you decided to carry that community for everyone. Thanks for doing that!
I’ve been taking care of my ancient wizened pet rabbit. She’s like 90 in bunny years (considering large breeds like flemish giants don’t live as long) but here’s an old and young picture of her huge dumbo ears.
I go to a restaurant store for her because they sell giant bags of cilantro and she mows through it among other things.
I’ve also been running a tabletop rpg system I wrote and built a setting for, and it’s going pretty well! It’s kind of a science fantasy thing and players are all humans, but they can be terran or from a colony world we build out together. That entails negotiating what adaptations the colonists originally gave their children to thrive on that world and so we ended up with a huge strongman character from a hot high gravity world for example. He has heat venting scales that look like a bush viper all over him and he’s the only one enjoying the desert they’re currently traversing while I throw creatures at them like a tamer version of Scavenger’s Reign.
Can you compare it to voidcrew if you’ve played that? I want to like a game like this but voidcrew never hooked me and I’m curious how you feel a few days in.
Text wall incoming, no offense taken for walking away:
People always talk about distributed denial of service attacks but this is not distributed. It’s concentrated in that one farm, and that informs the types of denial of service attacks it’s suited to carry out without help and influence the govt agencies which might give a shit. A simbox is a machine that can initiate one simultaneous call for each provisioned sim card in it, or whatever other cellular network operations the towers in range support. Look downstream of that for a second though, how many 911 operators are there for that area? Denying service can be more than knocking machines offline! Do I have enough sims to drown them in prerecorded panicked AI calls so they send all their firefighters to the wrong locations? Maybe I want to knife a guy and watch everyone on that block fail to reach 911 while he bleeds out. But they said ‘disable towers’ so let’s focus on denying telephony rather than the service telephony gets you to.
Bullshit scenario to illustrate a point:
Healthy customers operating a phone normally may call a variety of internal services once each until their session is established with the appropriate permissions, and then they’re allowed to make calls or touch websites. What if I pick one of those important steps and just hammer the dick off of it so nobody else can make new connections to the network for a period? If their security teams had the idea before me maybe they built some defenses, but maybe not, or maybe the simbox has sims from many carriers so they can get help. Does MobileX even agree that they carry the obligation to respond to this? Do they even know how since they don’t own all the network devices involved? Did they willfully put their thumb up their ass and ignore so they could continue to get money from the bad actor without caring about the consequences? No of course not companies always act morally!
Imagine my phone attaches to one of three towers in an area. Imagine there’s a back end process that lets a device tell a tower “I’m bcovertigo, so start me a session and look up my plan permissions, then report back with what I’m allowed to access” with a unique identity for the provisioned sim card. What happens when a phone starts that process but just ignores the response and never goes to the next step? What if I repeatedly chain together those half opened requests, and then 100 or so of those processes are just waiting on a response, still consuming resources. Do that for each of 32 sim cards in those pictured simboxes. Now give me a 300 strong swarm of those screaming hydras. 100/minute32sims300simboxes. Can your iphone ever get online if that critical step never completes to tell you your session is allowed to make calls and visit websites? We’re not even considering disruption of IoT security systems. Maybe they found some other flaw that lets them break existing network connections or exhaust something that’s needed for very specific functions to work. Through the magic of computing, anything can go wrong!
But enough about the attack itself. What are you going to do to stop all this?
Ban the identifiers of the sim bank? Fuck you they randomize it. Deprovision the sims as you see them used? Fuck you they have 100k of them as reserve ammo. No you have to physically find it and go there in person, which means plying some investigative govt agency for help.
