At that point their hands are already dirty

One of the screenshots with omgkitties...I believe he's a tx res

Yeah, I wouldn't want to risk moving this too close to anomaly -- the backlash will take place after the release
RE
Rebecca S (PoisonIvy30)
I like the idea of finding evidence of enl as well. It definitely deflates the "you do it too" argument but it also comes with it's own risks

I'd encourage you to embrace occam's razor with regard to trustworthiness.

I picked a hell of a time to just be going out on a two-week Cruise

What's easier to imagine? A bent person flipping infosec allegiance, or a bent person carefully collecting, photoshopping and curating false or misleading intel.
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
Occam's razor
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
Ain't nobody got time for that. But each of us can probably name off pissed off folks that had access to our chats and have used secure information against us after flipping (looking at you, Itso.)

This discussion is so impressive, but i am going with sourpatch kids as "happy i scrolled all that back moment"
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
Today I learned that after 10 Sour Patch Kids, your tongue really starts to hurt
RE
Rebecca S (PoisonIvy30)
I will wait to see the member list. I think being paranoid right now is a good thing. It keeps us from running with it and makes sure we get as much information as possible before acting
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Have you tried kiwis?
SA
Sara TeslaKoiled (Chicago, USA)
I will take that bet
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
The only kiwi I know is the fruit or someone from New Zealand
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Yeah if you eat enough kiwis your mouth starts to dissolve, it's great. Also pineapple.
RE
Rebecca S (PoisonIvy30)
That's weak
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
I'm actually very new to Sour Patch Kids. Might be my third bag ever
CH
Charlie Arnold
This is not great. This is the opposite of great.
RE
Rebecca S (PoisonIvy30)
That explains it
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
You are probably correct.
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
That's funny, I just had the conversation with Sherry about the pineapple thing. Apparently if you dip your hands in pineapple juice long enough they will dissolve your fingerprints
I'm scared why she knows that
SA
Sara TeslaKoiled (Chicago, USA)
i am pretty sure i can eat an entire bag of sourpatch kids. over the course of one movie. #offtopicftw
CH

Junior Mints or gtfo

Junior mints don't dissolve ANYTHING
RE

except your soul

Also this, definitely worth considering as a possibility.
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Agreed.
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
Supposedly consuming fresh pineapple can help with conception. I don't understand how that's supposed to work. Never heard anyone say the same about kiwis.
Back to the actual real topic: I really don't see any problem with using this info in a way that compromises RES composure just before an anomaly as long as we lay our cards on the table at the same time
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
i think it provides sugar/energy to the swimmers
VA
VAIN
I wouldn't be surprised if this has been blown before. RES can be vicious with how quickly they burn a source and bury their source under a cloud of misinformation and timely spin posts to drive community chatter elsewhere.
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
Yeah but the girls aren't the ones making the swimmers.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
then I heard it backwards
CH
Charlie Arnold
ok so reading back on the conversation with WB, I now better understand something she said earlier
The actual database they're using is called RIOT (dunno what it means).
VA
VAIN
On this topic how many of you maintain RES circles? Might be worth cross referencing some of the names we see in screenshots against public G+ posts. Could get lucky and find something juicy already out there and buried.

Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
CH
Charlie Arnold
what she's saying, I think, is that there is another interface to the riot database that provides more comprehensive information, if you're approved for it.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
so we're gonna have to scrub drive history
i mean you're
because that will be all kinds of incriminating
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
just use two drives
one between him and wb, one between him and us
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
I prefer to copy/paste into a new document
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
sure, w/e
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
so data is moved with no associated history of who entered it
CH
Charlie Arnold
Any files WB shares, I will create hard copies locally, then reload to our shared resource.
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
word of advice: try to get as many *uncropped* images as you can
CH
Charlie Arnold
yeah, gotcha
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
(obvs crop out agent name, but this was a point of critique...you defeat the point with a flood of caps)
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
Why's this?
CH
Charlie Arnold
WB is using a throwaway google account
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
Fucking home locations wow
CH
Charlie Arnold
yeah :(
that's pretty gross
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
It not hard if you have all their data
CH
Charlie Arnold
Sure, it's just a pretty ballsy thing to introduce
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
I'm reading that as where I. We live
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
Not certain
But I think this is it
Its in the same city as his others
CH
Charlie Arnold
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
Looks right to me
CH
Charlie Arnold
oh in the other shot, the one where the agent is requesting the location of brokers near a specific portal, this is the portal specified:
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
Portals bereaved
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
That sounds like European English
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
List of guardians killed of said person?
Who killed them etc
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
so who is going to monitor these things for an attack?
VA
VAIN
Sounds like AO more than physical home but then again heat mapping play and favorite portals sound like AO gathering and daily play style trends so it may very well be physical home addresses.
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
Already bookmarked it
SA
Sara TeslaKoiled (Chicago, USA)
Terrifying
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
If that's what it is, then their hubris will be damming
VA
VAIN
Also WTF start date? How?
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
It's in the data somewhere. Lots of scraper tools have this.
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
First portal interacted with? How the fuck far back does their data go. Jesus
SA
Sara TeslaKoiled (Chicago, USA)
I mean my couch is easy to spot and has been for a long time, but....*shudder*
VA
VAIN
Assuming it's not start dates of agents since the system has been running.
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
You just run a scraper forever and you have everything
KI
Kim (hardcandy37) Pelletier
That's a lot of effort they are putting in.
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
If they put this much effort into anomalies... Lol
KI
Kim (hardcandy37) Pelletier
Yes, this for sure! But, I was more thinking this is a lot of work for WB to put in - must have a very good reason.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
The new scraper starts with an old db.
The old cerebro database was public for a while
CH
Charlie Arnold
just basic comms scraping and parsing
This is very similar functionality to an ENL tool I was shown a couple of years ago. This stuff has been around forever.


Database work is easy.
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
The information is really useful to track spoofers.
Strange account shows up, you can find out where they took their first action
Are they local? Did they level up in Russia?
Then the slope is slippery.
CH
Chris (@vedorian central NJ, USA) Damoci
Lol started yesterday in Estonia, killed my guardian I'm Kentucky for example. That would be useful
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Yes, exactly.
My RES definitely have access to data about where accounts started and they haven't tried to hide it.
