A pretty neat wargaming server that uses outdated server software to practice/display different exploits. Its been ages since I’ve touched it, but iirc the first few levels show off some shell exploits as well as like some strcpy exploits and a buffer overflow with a nop slide. If you know the basics of using a Unix terminal and have some familiarity with any c language, it’s pretty accessible. Even if you dont, it has been around long enough that you could probably find a solutions guide or tutorials somewhere online. Thats the quickest way I can think of to get somebody without much time some legal “hacking” experience
- Comment on Average area burnt per wildfire in hectares by country (2016 vs. 2026) 5 days ago:
Talking to people from california about wildfires boils my fucking blood. The rise in wildfires in CA in recent decades is a direct result of the stupid fucking NIMBYs who live there and oppose controlled burns to manage forest deadwood. Turns out, sticking your fingers in your ears for 40 years and pretending that forests will just magically manage fire risk by themselves is a horribly stupid strategy. You dont need to take my word for it though, you could always ask the native american tribes with heritage from the California area
- Comment on Belgian rule in the Congo was fucked up 5 days ago:
The photos documenting that era and the brutality of Belgium make me sick in the same way photos of holocaust mass graves do. There’s a famous one of a man who didn’t meet the rubber quota contemplating a pile of severed hands taken from his children that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget. (I chose not to post that photo deliberately. You are welcome to look it up based on my description if you want to see, but don’t say I didn’t warn you afterwards)
