So, people who know network security a little, check this idea a bit.

I'm thinking about how to do exceptionally anonymous works for... Erm, reasons. And I just realized... Is there anything stopping us routing data through this network?

Two computers. One's the workhorse, the other's a chokepoint. It can be placed remotely, but it connects directly to your personal network number via a quick connection script.

That one runs a standard TOR anonymizer or the like, but more importantly, it's located someplace not associated with any one of us - like a couple rather hidden rooms in Locke High I know about, for example.

Data passes in and out through it into the general Internet. Even if it's traced, it doesn't go to any of us. Could be useful for all sorts of things, and even something as cheap as a Roku could do the job.

Any gaps so far?

uh.

wanna put that in plain English for us non techies?

If it works, it means certain types of Internet access - say to things Thunder Corp might not want us accessing - with no way to trace us.

Like an anon proxy kinda deal?

[youngestone]

so basically hacking

Maaaaaaaybe.

Re: [Text]

Only better, since if it works, one step in the chain can't be solved by non-numbers.

I haven't a clue regarding the security, but I've published work before. I've considered doing it again regarding recent events, though perhaps not through the same methods.

[youngestone]

cool. why not just say that?

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

So an unsolvable puzzle in the chain, so no matter how well they break the other levels, it's dead stop unless they're also numbers.

Re: [text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Because I'm not 100% confident in the method and someone else who knows computer security may be better able to check my logic.

Re: [Text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

And if the chain's decently long, we make them waste their time while doing it, winding up resources we don't want them directing elsewhere.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

What methods might you use?

[text]

[youngestone]

but you still basically want to hack the system.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Sounds good.

Though I don't know how good a place the high school would be for it, since the cops won't fuck off.

Re: [text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Not "the" system in some abstract anarchy-inspired "hack everything" sense.

"A" system, in the sense of Thunder Corp and other systems that may be in on on the conspiracy.

Re: [Text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Point. We need more uncontrolled places. NOT the property of any known Numbered. Preferably not anyone's house at all.

[text]

[youngestone]

"the" system, "a" system, it's all the same yeah?

especially since I'm wondering if Thunder Corp doesn't have government connections

[[a long pause]]

Somewhere on Locke U campus, maybe?

Re: [text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Probably. It'd explain the police at least. Useless as they've been.

[Britany Ruff will never be accused of having a high opinion of authority figures.]

Re: [Text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Doable, but that'd put cops all over there.

Hacking business terminals may be better.

Re: [Text]

[shiromadoushi]

How would that work?

[text]

[youngestone]

in the defense of the non-crazy cops, it's not like they're really equipped to handle supernatural freaky shit

Re: [text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

It seems that a nontrivial number of police are 'on the take' with this entire conspiracy, if you have not noticed.

[text]

[youngestone]

hush and let me dream

Re: [Text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

If a computer gets hacked in the forest, and no one is around to see it, does it make a sound?

[That sounded better in her head.]
