the hackers aren’t gone (and what we know about them)

so for a while we’ve all been thinking that the ransomware hackers from season 5 left a little…underwhelmingly. its possible they aren’t done with us just yet. so i thought i’d put all we know about the hackers into one post.

1. starting off a lot further back than you’d expect, in 2x14. when the CAD system went offline, the FBI was sent to the dispatch centre to see if they had been hacked. they weren’t, but during this time the analysts gave us some very interesting backstory information:

“In 2016 a single web address went viral on twitter. people clicked on it and their phones started speed dialling 911. The attack in Atlanta last year was traced back to Russian hackers, The city spent more than $2.6 million trying to unlock their systems, rather than pay the ransom demand of $50,000 in bitcoin.”

2. Now, moving onto the blackout. In 5x01, the first things that started happening in terms of hacking was fake natural disaster alerts, phones automatically speed dialling 911, and cars gps trackers malfunctioning.

where have we heard that middle issue before? ah yes, the hack from 2016.

then both taylor and karen come to the realisation that it was not app updates and software glitches, but ransomware.

3. still in 5x01, when the air traffic control systems get overtaken, this is what happens

now its not bitcoin, but its close enough to what was described in point 1 to wonder if its the same hacker collective.

4. and finally, in 5x03, the hackers just kinda…disappear. they give back the power with none of their demands met, and just leave. in taylor’s news coverage of this, she says (there’s talking over this, so i tried to transcript it best i could):

“the hacker group initially claiming responsibility and demanding a hefty ransom has gone offline, virtually scrubbing their existence from the internet, leaving no trace behind. many questions remain, what was the motive behind this attack?”

in the end, i think there’s enough roots that have been put down quite early on in the show for them to do something big with the hackers. and i mean really big. maybe this is what season 6 has in store for us, maybe not. i hope so, because this would be kinda cool. but i guess we’ll find out…

Okay so... What if...

What if the ace in Jake’s sleeve isn’t letting himself get arrested? He has Nymos. What if he knew dead sure he’d be caught in the mine, and all that’s left is one chance?

Maybe he set up Nymos in such a way that if he gets arrested, some of the information he found out after the hack will be published. As leverage.

So he was caught, but threatened that all other information would be published as well if he gets arrested.

And since it’s mostly very important for governments to keep their dirty little secrets a secret, they might make a deal.

And he said the part with "ace up his sleeve" because that’s exactly what he would have done if MC had been arrested.

And he promised to never leave MC and he would never let them separate Jake and MC..

(But I mean, then he could have done it before all those year on the run lol)

(I also considered him letting Nymos send a message to MC and then giving MC full access to all the information of the hack so that MC has leverage.)

What are the chances that our Duskwood friends have cut off contact because of the police and FBI? We break many, many, MANY laws. Besides being "involved" with a criminal wanted by the FBI.

There is also the possibility of being threatened by someone...

are you a radical feminist? fail proof test!

1. are you part of a women's organisation that has its direct action primarily based on radical feminist theory?

2. are you an academic researcher/writer in the field of radical feminism?

If you answered yes to one or both, you're a radfem. If your answer to both is negative, you're not. The end

#political movements aren't identities centered on individual choices #obviously your life outside activism won't be above questioning. but making 'good feminist' individual choices but not fighting against any #misogynistic law and practice of YOUR community makes you a critical woman and a feminist sympathiser #which is great. just not activist no matter how much you feel supior to certain activists #I do typically agree that a lot of women who lurk radbrl but feel it doesn't contemplate them would like theory written by and for working #class women which is part of why I started talking more about my background and action here had many dm me it was good #but damn does the misrepresentation of marxist feminists get annoying #I know actual radical leftists in the global north are hard to find but daamn. you sound like the podcast antifeminists who distort Engels #.txt #I don't call myself one because my primary activism is in educational and the two feminist organisations I regularly assist dont have a #single current but one is primarily marxist and the other hacker feminist

(not sure if this has been done already but) I headcanon that instead of the OCS recruiting Camila, Camila found the OCS.

(This, of course, is inspired by me rewatching the “Carmen Sandiego” pilot) (and this also inspired other thoughts about a CSxWN au…)

Anyways, these thoughts were specifically inspired by the character “Player”, who hacks security systems and tells the owners where their cybersecurity weaknesses are. So my idea is that Camila, who already had some coding/hacking experience before she first became a nun (maybe before everything went bad with her parents one of them was in the quickly evolving tech industry and would teach her coding for fun?), moonlighted as a grey-hat hacker, and got on the OCS’s radar when she hacked their systems.

The OCS thought that it was some malicious attempt to try and expose them, but the team that was sent (probably Shannon, Mary, Lilith, and Bea) just find this little guy with innocent bambi eyes and telling them exactly how terrible their file encryption is and “oh my gosh, I like, hacked your expense accounts in five minutes. Why do you guys spend so much of your budget on-”, and she is promptly adopted.

Well, not so simply, as one does not forcefully adopt people into the OCS (the Ava-situation not-withstanding). Superion is at first not so agreeable about the group's unorthodox decision, but after Camila demonstrates her tech skills, she gives in and allows her to stay (and writes to whoever the person in charge of transferring nuns between orders or whatever so that it can be done officially as well). Partly for practicality, as the order needs more tech-savvy sister warriors with how prominent technology is becoming in the world, but also because Camila is such a little guy and Superion could not say no.

You have to be a truly miserable, sorry ass person to go out of your way to target a fan-fiction site ran by volunteers. Like how low can you possibly get?!

So I may or may not have spent a good chunk of my day trying to learn how to look into onis code and while I may not have yet succeeded I will likely keep fucking around with shit tomorrow and if I manage to succeed it'll spell great doom for my sanity as oni becomes the interest I've officially poured the most effort into analyzing

#rat rambles #oni posting #for now I must sleep but hopefully tomorrow Ill figure out how to decompile files #the real question is going to be if Ill be able to do this on my shitty ass laptop or if Ill need to figure smth else out #I just want to be able to view stuff so ideally it won't make my laptop chug too bad but rly Im more worried abt space #I might have to try to do some cleanup and delete some shit maybe Ill go scan through the shit that came pre installed #and hey maybe if I can get this to work I can go mega hacker mode and tweak some stuff for funsies #probably wont since I don't wanna break my game and I dont trust myself but yknow #itd probably help if I actually retained any information from the Two programing classes I took when I was younger but alas #one of them was even specifically a video game programming class and lemme tell you I remember absolutely nothing #also from what little I was able to view without fancy applications I have no new info but I can finally fully put jean in the we 100% know #their last name zone cause while we definitely already 100% did Technically we only got jea- for first name confirmation #but theyre referred to as jean in a note in a bio bot story traits file ty whoever added the notes there #god I hope theres other notes in the files I want to read those so bad #btw this was all spurred by that one nails log that disappeared cause I have found a file that looks like it but I cant fully view it #and I desperately need to view it I need to view it #also if I can look in the code then in theory itll make copying down all the lore logs easier #also the datamining thread of the forums hasnt been particularly active so who knows maybe I can become a proper dataminer #(<- will not do that probably unless it turns out to be easier than I thought)#but admittedly I am interested in hunting for potential future update content even if I probably won't hunt too hard for it #again Im mostly just hunting for lore #hey maybe if Im lucky Ill find some genuinely new and usable information in that department #maybe the secrets of b363 and dr. holland lie in the files ooooo (they probably dont)#man it'd be nice if I had a proper pc itd make my life so much easier and my desk feel less enpty lol #in a world where I get to play videogames at a higher framerate than 10fps #I mean we do have some older computers laying around the house although theyre probably also crusty pieces of shit #idk maybe I can see if I can salvage one itd be nice to have a proper computer to fuck about with #Im sure my mom wouldn't mind as long as its one that hasnt been touched in years #which tbf I dont know how many options thatd leave me but we at least have one computer that could theoretically be usable #albiet its definitely packed with viruses from me and my siblings being dumb kids

tbh im a little bit disapointed.

!! EPISODE 10 SPOILERS !!

— mc’s meaning in Hannah’s case was really just a coincidence? i dont buy it.

— i hoped we will learn something about Jake’s background, what exactly he did that he is on the run now. what happened to his mother? what about Nathan Donfort? he cheated on mrs Donfort with Jake’s mother? or Jake is just a child from his previous relationship? does mr Donfort even know that he has a son? 🤔

— Richy as MWAF was so obvious that i wasnt even surprised (but still: WHY MY SWEETHEART????)

— what about Phil? i hoped that we will be able to talk with him again. he was a really interesting character:/

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT JAKE FINALLY CONFESSED HIS FEELINGS FOR MC<3 I LOVE EVERBYTE FOR IT AND I FORGIVE THEM UNFINISHED THREADS.

I am watching Mr.Robot and Jake character fits so close to Elliot in terms of his closed personality, introverted hacker. I also think that just like how Elliot works for cyber security , Jake used to work like that too until the government expose thing.

Anyway watching all the hacking stuff in the series, made me attracted to Jake even more 😳 as it had the most accurate and realistic hacking scenes.

Hey hbj, u good? I Hope so <3

While moonvale isn't enough...I have a little theory, we know that Eric Briggs is mentioned by Alan in episode 10, what if he really is part of the police but as some kind of hacker? a programmer? Alan managed to protect himself from Jake twice, so there was someone who helped him protect himself from Jake and what if it was Eric? What if he played the role of Jake in Moonvale? being a new hacker who will help us but a "good hacker" who works in the police.

Of course we don't know if it's the same Eric, but it's interesting to think about.

Hey Ho, dear, nice to see you here. Hope you're doing good as well. I'm alright I would say. Thank you a lot for asking. <3

Ohhhh! This definitely sounds very, very interesting and very logical! Very interesting. 🤔 I mean, I can imagine, let’s say MC gets very well-known for the Duskwood case. So probably it is also known that we have cooperated with a hacker in duskwood. So, what if Eric knows about that and that's why he contacts MC because we already worked with a hacker to solve a case like this. And if it’s the same Eric that Alan mentions, then it could well be that Alan left a good word about us with Eric. 🤔 And I mean, I'm sure we will need a hacker. Otherwise it could definitely be much more difficult. Much of the information to solve Hannah’s case was obtained illegally. And since we're not going to be in Grove Springs, we will need more than just a chat messenger. So, I think it's very, very likely. Even more interesting to work with the police itself. That could be veeery funny. I love this idea so much!

(Imagine Jake vs Eric, uhhhh, damn. 👀 Imagine how offended jake could be if he finds out we are working with another hacker now. "Another hacker? I thought I'm the only hacker in your life?!" "Jake, please listen to me! It’s not what it looks like! (Sorry, I just had to hehe))

Well, no, I'm going to belive in this theory now because I want it. It's good and exciting and funny. It's canon now. I will just decide it. 😌

No, joke aside, thank you so much for sharing this theory. It sounds very tempting and it really makes the most sense so far, I would say. This could really lead to lots of interesting situations. Especially the reaction of MC to another hacker could be interesting, at least for those who played Duskwood before. I imagine MC being like 'No, nope, not going to work with you, it's like cheating!'

Wahh, okay I really love it, you see? Thank you so much for sending it. I really appreciate it and I'm amazed. Hehe.

I hope you will have a fantastic day/evening/night! Take care of yourself and stay healthy and safe! 💚

Duskwood - Theory (Teoria):

English:

Well, when we download Duskwood for the first time, this little teaser appears before starting the first episode. I downloaded it to analyze it more calmly, that's when I noticed this:

Português:

Bem, quando baixamos Duskwood pela primeira vez, esse pequeno teaser aparece antes de começar o primeiro episódio. Eu o baixei para analisá-lo mais calmamente, foi quando notei isto:

English:

If you notice well, the game's teasers always give a hint of what will happen in the episodes, but in this beginning when it shows Jake's scenes, this one itself has never been mentioned before.

Given the physical size and being something that happens at the beginning of the game introducing us to the Duskwood universe, I have no doubt that this man is our hacker. And as he already told us, Hannah and Lilly are his only family, which suggests his mother has died.

This part of the teaser shows exactly how it happened. The question now is: Was it an accident? Or does it have something to do with their pursuers?

Português:

Se notarmos bem, os teasers do jogo sempre dão uma dica do que irá acontecer nos episódios, mas nesse começo quando mostra as cenas de Jake, essa em si nunca foi citada antes.

Dado ao porte físico e por ser algo que acontece no início do jogo nos introduzindo ao universo de Duskwood, não duvido que este homem seja o nosso hacker. E como ele já nos disse, Hannah e Lilly são sua única família, o que da a entender que sua mãe morreu.

Esta parte do teaser mostra exatamente como aconteceu. A questão agora é: Foi um acidente? Ou tem algo haver com seus perseguidores?

Brant Vacker?

This theory is a possibility

so could brant be a Vacker, many of you will disagree but.....

Here is my reasoning

in the registry files Brants name is redacted, the only person who could do that is an emissary and who is an emissary, pretty much every single Vacker. So, if Brant was a vacker and they were ashamed of him for being "Talentless" so they could have redacted his last name to make sure there are no scandals.

brant has dark hair. Who else has dark hair, the Vackers.... though the first reason made a lot more sense.

don't tell me his last name is Alger because that is his middle name plus all the vackers middle names also start with an A

If you find evidence that he is not a Vacker please tell me.

#kotlc brant #kotlc vackers #kotlc #fan theory #what opposing evidence is there #nothing #hacker vacker
