ISPs had successfully used throttling to force Netflix to install servers in their colocation facilities to reduce consumption of backbone bandwidth

Yeah, this is roughly what I had heard, though I knew fewer details. But yes, I meant to imply it was definitely astroturfed.

As far as I can see it was another "20 YeArS" type of deal. "Oh look, I'm from the oLd InTeRnEt, not like you newfags, worship me":

Curious how he stopped saying cringe like that after the Mana Gem Event, so I guess he's not incapable of being self-aware. Still pretty funny hearing shit like "it just gives me vitamins" coming from Mald.

The fact this guy is a somethingawful oldfag explains SOOO so much. All of these guys have the same "heh I don't give le fuck I'm too old and too cool for you " attitude that you can immediately see though.

 

[BONECRUSHER]

However, there is no requirement in UK law for software companies to support older versions of their products

Did the britbongs even read the fucking thing? Are they retarded? Nobody's asking companies to keep supporting older games/software. They're asking companies to give the community the means to support it after they ended their official support.

Even if he's capable of surviving the irrevocable damage being done to his entire brand right now:

1. hacker skills - opsec/dev experts undermining his competence on twitter

Speaking of which:



I've never been to DEFCON because it's an ego fest, can anyone verify?

Nigga you were in a team.

The claim that "thor got his defcon badge through intentional misrepresentation" is true, he went around deceiving other teams rather than working on the puzzles. Source is literally mald's own reddit account history. source | archive

 

[Aidan]

I've never been to DEFCON because it's an ego fest, can anyone verify?

The DEFCON stuff has been talked about to death, he has 3 badges from being on 3 winning teams. It is very possible he "social engineered" one of the guys involved with the puzzles to get part of a solution at one of them. I don't remember the details but whatever the case was, Mald considered it fair game to mislead people by not making it clear he was part of a team trying to solve those puzzles because that's "people hacking" or something. (Conveniently covered in the previous post)
The real funny thing with the badges is he teamed up with some techtubers who went and they did their retrospectives on it and there is only 1 mention of Mald contributing to the puzzles but none that he solved. ThePrimagen, Theo and someone else each coded up quick and dirty tools to help find and verify solutions but none of them mention Mald doing this or contributing to the code.

Now take into account Mald's hilarious cheating in puzzle games, yeah he got carried. Which there's no actual problem with on its own, it's all for fun at the end of the day, but Mald uses these badges as a testimony to his skills as often as he can. He still insists Mr. Robot stole his solution to a DEFCON puzzle.

This is another lie, Mald's solution online isn't the only solution online and the show collaborated with the guy behind the puzzle for DEFCON. In fact, he wasn't even the first to solve it at DEFCON so what is he talking about here? There's a whole post breaking this particular claim down and how he's blatantly lying for no reason.

I'd like to point out he didn't correct the person calling him an "opsec specialist" either, he likes to let people believe he's a variety of things. An "opsec specialist" that claims to favor steganography over a password manager like KeepassXC.

 

[Onomatopoeia]

His jimmies are rustled:

Good lord he's fucking Malding. You can tell the consequences of his own shitty actions are really getting to him. I bet there wasn't a single person around him in the last 5 years that called him out on his retarded behavior until now. Look at him playing the victim for sympathy because he's getting absolutely raped by real professionals in every field he claims to be active in.

He almost certainly saw his 4chan threads over the last few days too. Maybe even this very KF thread we're in. I guarantee you otherwise he'd have never mentioned the sexual attraction to ferrets.

 

[The Stranger]

Are there any clips of Maldy talking about Linux? Proficiency with Linux is basically a requirement for hacking and I can totally see him shit talking Linux because he's too stupid to learn a new environment.

 

[el gordo]

One of the things mald ALWAYS does is muddy the waters on who his detractors are, grouping all of them within the worst possible category,

as much of a retard as he is this is inteligent on his part
peopel who watch him and dont read for them self hear him say 'its all coming from liove stream fails' back with the wow thing, they go check there and see the hate and dont know any better to look elsewhere becasue their bias was just confirmed

but watch him long enough and you realise he will say 'the negitive reviews are all coming from stop killing games becasue they are mad' or 'all the negitive reviews a coming from reddit' not once has he mention this thread

i would almost call him smart for it if he didnt keep perma banning his own subscribers who were genuinely concerned about him. the population if this thread coincides with the decline of his viewership, not a coincidence

He's a narcissist. He reads this thread.

I don't know if he has talked about Linux specifically but he has a short complaining about Windows.

 

[The ATF Disliked That]

He was probably the kid you always have in your group who did fuck all, but was just useful enough to contribute to the write up.

Mald considered it fair game to mislead people by not making it clear he was part of a team trying to solve those puzzles because that's "people hacking" or something.

If this was not specifically stated as against the rules for the event, I'm willing to throw him a bone for that. Despite his faggotry, he is very good at manipulation. Now, if an event is trying to test real skills on the actual task at hand and social engineering really has no part in it, then yeah call him the fuck out for it, and I would say make it against the rules, but yeah I know real world doesn't have any rules.

An "opsec specialist" that claims to favor steganography over a password manager like KeepassXC.

And doesn't the stenography just return the string value anyways into the password field? I just did a stenography lab for my Associate's and the lab was put an image through the program, add some other shit to it, and it returned the password (I understand my case is anecdotal and I'm not sure of other ways what he could possibly be using, so correct me if I'm wrong or literally ignorant to other situations. Now, I'm not autistic enough to do stenography. Just have a fucking password manager.

I've never been to DEFCON because it's an ego fest, can anyone verify?

I've heard it's a cool event, but for me, it's really niche to certain people, and I don't really have an interest in it. You see a lot of proof of concept presentations, skills events (where these black badges are handed out). I did go to a university event where it was like a "mini-DEFCON" where they showed you all these concepts and what to look out for. Some job fair like areas where you can see new employment opportunities.

Are there any clips of Maldy talking about Linux? Proficiency with Linux is basically a requirement for hacking and I can totally see him shit talking Linux because he's too stupid to learn a new environment.

I know there are some Linux clips of him. It may or may not have been pointed out in this thread, but I think he's said he doesn't use Linux(?). (Someone please help follow up on this, this is one of those, I wanna swear he said that type of moment).


Edit: A couple sentences added to make my thoughts more complete.

 

[Maeis]

I did that for my Digital Forensics. It's really cool and you can hide a lot of text before it gets obvious to the naked eye that the data's being screwed with. I don't know why nobody bothers with it.

"People even tried to say my DEFCON challenge wins weren't real"

Nigga you were in a team.

Oh lord. Based on my experience it sounds like he was effectively on a project to conduct a cyber security audit. Blah blah blah, there's no way he was doing cool shit. Wanna know why? 2 things. DoE and Operational Technology. OT cyber security is still in it's infancy and you'll be extremely hard pressed to find any red teaming or pen testing gigs because people are still stupidly skiddish when it comes to OT. Multiply that with DoE (AKA GOVERNMENT) and lol.

In all likelyhood, he was probably roaming around with ONE information security guy the entire day who was constantly saying "yeah, shits fucked if any threat actors cared enough". On an OT network that was built years ago that didn't have cyber security in mind when it was architected. AND talking to a handful of electrical engineers that do not give a shit other than their systems being up and working.

Has he ever mentioned TempleOS? That's usually a pretty good barometer for if someone has jacked into the matrix or not. When I mentor wee lads, Saint Terry the Terrible is one of the first nuggets of knowledge I bestow.

Steganography isn't restricted to images but there's probably a better way to do whatever you're trying to do. In Mald's case, his passwords aren't encrypted if he's being honest, which I hope he isn't. Then you get into how cumbersome his system is... when he could use a password manager which has an encrypted file and can be stored in an encrypted container. More secure and convenient.
You could decide to hide your encrypted container in another file using steganography and if he said that, it'd make some sense.

From memory, the puzzle master "1o57" used his burner phone from previous DEFCONs, not his "personal" phone as Mald claims. Upon finding out they used one of his ASCII cyphers containing his burner number in the show (which was first publicly written up by other teams as you've pointed out, before Mald's), the dude was flattered:

Which is another example on how much work he makes for himself. He's added more steps to the process for something so basic, like how he has shitty spaghetti code for his game.

Yes, they're in this thread somewhere. He had trouble porting his game over to SteamOS for the Steam Deck (despite GMS virtually doing all the work for you), and from his lamentation it sounds like it simply came down to his inexperience with Linux.
