I am deliberately leaving unsaid how any of the information was acquired.
The less we give them to go on, the more they freak out and harder they mole hunt

Anatomy of a hit -- I'm not sure there was an automatic ping there.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
It mentioned the username
Which on lots of slack channel is a ping.
Elo used to work the same way

Our contact says they are pinged.

But not with GH obvs

Depending how you set your notifications
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
Yeah. The broker list has spaces between letters in the name which I assume is to avoid that
But the WB said ping so I withdraw comment, thank you.
Not apologies to Crooch5, makes it sound like we did it. Condolences.
This is all great, btw, am nitpicking.
Is the roster list inclusive of this morning's data drop? There were new riot names.

Still needs sorted and cross checked against master for missing names there, and make sure I didn't fat finger any names

yeah I'll do a quick grep to get the dupes out

I have to help... If I just sit back and watch I am part of the problem.

I'd like to do another page on how the bot works, how riot.one works, how radar works and what channels there are, and how omnivore works
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
The radar channels would be excellent.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
So if anyone is looking for things to do, I need that info sorted and basic copy written

He's a scary question. Can these tools be used to see when gear is dropped between agents, As in, where we meet to swap keys or gear drops?
Because, I drop agents gear at my home, and at theirs at times.
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
Not at the presented level of coverage.
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
You'd need really comprehensive scanner bot scraping for that.
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
In order to detect that kind of activity you'd need -- yeah. Like one bot pretending to be a scanner every 500 meters or so.

"An additional function called RADAR enables Resistance agents to receive automated real time alerts on intel triggers, such as:
– links over 20km thrown within 30 minutes of checkpoints
– mod deployment (specifically VRLA)"


Since these are examples I'd rephrase the last part to
- mod deployment of VRLA

"Authorized agents also have access to an application called Omnivore, which allows them to launch bot interfaces elsewhere to further propagate this scraped data."


It's a subset of the authorized agents for RIOT right? Maybe "Some authorized agents"? Since not exactly parallel to previous population described with "authorized agents"

"such as mod deployment such as VR hack mods and VRLA" is a lot of such ases. We're already in an example.
"deployment of VRLA or VR hack mods"

is "this particular group" really "this particular Slack"?

I think WordPress has a way to collapse things under a Read More tag. Can we do that with the long list of agents? It's somewhat unlikely for people to read past that to the next text -- should either be collapsed or be a link.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
I would, but I don't know what I want to give up anything about the source.
I want it to go on and on and make an impact.
Nothing after the list is necessary reading.

AN

Maybe include the link to the evidence before it then?
ER

I debated that too.
But since the evidence is listed on the side menu opted against
I'm open
