Briliant. How does that work though? Does it only work on PCs with File sharing enabled?--thought that was limited to a public folder though.
There are a ton of PEN testing tools, mostly on Linux. Run through the DHCP table at all the devices on your network, pull the MAC addresses. Everything that is a "computer" NIC and not a phone etc gets PEN tested. If that NIC shows up as something that should not be on the LAN network, say a switch, we can locate it to within 6-12 seats and deal with it. NIC MAC Addresses are allocated based on manufacturer and can be cross refrenced and isolated. One of the fun things is that if you see a PC running bittorrent traffic, you route that traffic to a bit bucket and wait for the 'victim' to come up and say his network is not working. Then we get to politely tell them to stop torrenting shit on our LAN. The amazing thing is that once people know they are being watched, the behavior gets better. This is also, as an aside, why indiscriminate surveillance is bad and why I am against it. I've been in the position of overseerer, and have to force myself to deal with the impact on my person. If I get a bit power trippy over a LAN, imagine what someone with life and death powers can do and feel.
Yeapers. I'm not a BOFH, honest! We have three days of gaming, and to make things run well, the 2x4's and ball bats come out. You do something that impacts other people's fun and enjoyment that they paid for, we have a chat. edit to add, in 15 plus years of LAN parties, I can number problem jackasses under 4-5 incidents. One of those was accidental, another was a fellow security IT guy testing to see what he could get away with. The actual real 'bad guys' don't go and stir shit at an event with 300 or more gamers all of whom now have access to your physical gear and person. We've not even had fist fights at any of our events that I am aware of. These guys talk smack online then duke it out in a game or dozen.Indefinite detention as LART? I don't think I've ever seen anyone make that connection.
Indefinite detention as LART? I don't think I've ever seen anyone make that connection. I think the problem with mass surveillance is more subtle than that though. I think I've recommended Discipline and Punish in threads about surveillance often enough to be tedious, but I think his analysis of the panopticon really is the definitive argument against mass surveillance. If you might be watched at any time you always act as if you are being watched. The effect being the watcher has on the watcher doesn't really matter; the harm is done even if the mechanism exist but no one is using it.
