If nothing else has come out of the stream of scandals afflicting that agency, it's that they need better people. If you are eligible, do it, as you could be the change, and it appears the opportunity for improvement there is truly unlimited.
Soul read.
I did the first two "chapters", then I had to stop for personal reasons and never picked it up again. Perhaps I should put it on my github as a mark of dishonor.
Also, some of the best security researchers I know never went to college. So people with non-traditional academic backgrounds are excluded from this which is a bummer
Is this the challenge or am I missing something?
Are they like puzzle hunts where you don't know what you're looking for? Or are you only responsible for breaking cryptographic codes?
edit: to add some comment: Too bad only this group can participate. Just wanted to have look what type of puzzles they are and recreationally have a stab at them.
If you can't easily break into a university IT system what sort of hacker are you? :)
You: You're disgusting and atrocious!
Seems like you're the one who has a problem.
"It's not about the job. I don't care if you work for the government. But you can do anything you want, you are bound by nothing. What are you passionate about. What do you want? I mean there are guys who work their entire lives laying brick so that their kids have a chance at the opportunities you have here."
So, instead of praising Will, Sean questions why Will seems determined to keep drifting while seeming clever. I always thought the implication was that it's better to define yourself as "for" something than "against" something, even if you sound smart in a wicked way by doing so.
"Please cite a reputable source that supports this conspiracy theory. "
"That's not an answer."
"What is the definition of atrocious or atrocity? "
"Atrocity - an extremely wicked or cruel act, typically one involving physical violence or injury. "
Atracious: extremely wicked, brutal, or cruel - after Merriam-Webster. The key word here is "or".
Mind, that ovearreaching control has a great potential of abuse, including physical violence. Also notice, that the right to privacy is often recognized as a human right.
Oh, or the false Gulf of Tonkin report probably led to millions of deaths.
Please cite a reputable source that supports this conspiracy theory.
The NSA itself later admitted they lied about the report, ignoring any sigint that contradicted what they believed happened.
Here's some others parts from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident
>In the 2003 documentary The Fog of War, the former United States Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara admitted that an attack on the USS Maddox happened on August 2, but the August 4 attack, for which Washington authorized retaliation, never happened.
>As the evening progressed, further signals intelligence (SIGINT) did not support any such ambush, but the NSA personnel were apparently so convinced of an attack that they ignored the 90% of SIGINT that did not support that conclusion, and that was also excluded from any reports they produced for the consumption by the president.
McNamara admits of didn't happen, the NSA admits they intentionally doctored the report.
Second, I consider lying to spread more warfare and all the horrors that entails atrocious.
