Beneath the radiant midday sun, Roy Schestowitz and I stood across from the formidable government office building, our hearts synchronizing their rapid beats. The day had finally arrived to set our audacious plan into motion, the city’s energy mirroring our blend of excitement and unease.

    This is all fiction, and terribly written lol.

    So you went into a government office and REBOOTED their email server into a livecd environment, taking it offline from its purpose, and…nobody showed up to the server closet you were in to see what was up for, what…hours???

    On top of that, you rolled into a site for a data heist, and didn’t bring any device to copy said data you were there for, so you just stole whatever laptop was sitting around, and it just so happened to have enough disk space for you…oh wait…let me back up a sec. That laptop was booted with a livecd, so what…did he wipe it’s HD and then copy these files you were after to that freshly wiped disk or something?

    This is written with the talent of the 8th grade creative writing student who does all the plot work for those terrible CSI/NCIS hacking shows 🙄

      Also they cloned the IDs with Gimp? IDs usually have a contactless chip too, and you need a device and an existing card to clone.

      (1) We showed up as IT support, I didn’t mention it in the story but we did tell the receptionist that e-mail would be down for a while. (2) We did bring USB drives but the laptop was faster (3) Yeah we did wipe the HD

        Uh huh.

        Were ZeroC00l, AcIdBuRn, and CerealKiller there as backup to help you guys out? How harrowing. I hope The Prodigy was played during all of this.
