Fucking hell…

the upsides of living with a cat who loves to bite wires in places it considers its own:

  • you learn a lot of opsec and electronics repair skills

the downsides of living with such a cat:

  • IT’S ONLY BEEN A COUPLE OF DAYS SINCE I GOT MY MODEM BACK ONLINE GIVE ME A GODDAMN BREAK SOMETIMES

@collapsedsquid said: Your cat is making you learn opsec? Is your cat a l33t hx40r?

Yes. Do not leave vulnerabilities where an adversary can access them, for the adversary will inevitably exploit them. The only real defense is eliminating the vulnerability.

And the pragmatist’s corollary: sometimes it’s sufficient to just measure it as (motivation * ability) and the only practical defense is reducing vulnerabilities to those that the adversary isn’t interested enough to exploit. Reducing motivation alongside with ability is, when dealing with Not-Mossad, sufficient to deal with the threats that are really impractical to eliminate the ability of exploiting which.

And the clockwork corollary: ultimately there is no difference between motivation and ability, and they all boil down to “how hard will you(r modem wires) be pwned” and reducing the amount of pwnage one receives is what matters.
