| 00:53.50 | aeryndunham | So the saga of crew members stealing Internet got WAY more interesting today |
| 01:27.22 | programmerq | oh yeah? |
| 01:27.27 | programmerq | aeryndunham⸠do tell. |
| 01:27.49 | aeryndunham | ooh yay |
| 01:28.02 | aeryndunham | So the Captain called in everyone we could ID and basicallt lost his shit on them |
| 01:28.08 | aeryndunham | and then 2 people came forward |
| 01:28.46 | aeryndunham | saying that there is a dishwasher charging other crew $60 to root their phone and install a certain VPN that disguises their traffic as ICMP traffic, and then charging them all $40/month to use the service |
| 01:29.04 | programmerq | oh wow |
| 01:29.29 | aeryndunham | I know right |
| 01:32.22 | TodPunk | I kind of enjoy that he was clever enough to do that |
| 01:32.32 | TodPunk | fucking dishwasher and could be in IT |
| 01:32.42 | aeryndunham | the kicker is that this guy went home on compassionate leave 2 days ago (someone died) |
| 01:32.54 | aeryndunham | but he's still contacting his 'clients' on facebook |
| 01:33.24 | TodPunk | Would it have worked better if they had randomize their wifi MAC? |
| 01:33.33 | TodPunk | and maybe done so every day or so? |
| 01:33.45 | programmerq | almost certainly |
| 01:33.47 | aeryndunham | yeah, if they had randomized their mac we couldn't have found the, |
| 01:34.05 | aeryndunham | we could only the ID the ones who have signed in properly to our internet system |
| 01:36.22 | programmerq | so it was a little more than just word of mouth "oh yeah install this" |
| 01:36.55 | programmerq | how much better is $40/month than buying wifi properly? |
| 01:37.22 | TodPunk | the cruise ship internet is expensive as hell |
| 01:37.29 | aeryndunham | well on the ship $40 gets you 660MB |
| 01:37.45 | aeryndunham | so you can't really be downloading or streaming |
| 01:38.18 | programmerq | so download stuff while in port, and use the expensive data for social media |
| 01:38.19 | TodPunk | So this icmp traffic is going to HIS vpn that he operates from somewhere, right? |
| 01:38.50 | aeryndunham | No, it's just some random VPN. But it does charge for ICMP routing so he must be paying the subscription and then giving the crew his login |
| 01:38.55 | TodPunk | doesn't get why travelers can't prepare this stuff ahead of time |
| 01:39.05 | TodPunk | I used to work for a company that did portable in-flight-entertainment players |
| 01:39.21 | TodPunk | the things were just rentable from the airlines to passengers with a few dozen movie options on them |
| 01:39.34 | TodPunk | But they were $9-40 depending on airline and such |
| 01:40.09 | TodPunk | Who the hell doesn't plan to bring their own tablet or a book or something and then is like "You know what, this gouging price for a really terrible quality film on a tiny screen is totally worth it." |
| 01:40.18 | programmerq | aeryndunham⸠so all this icmp traffic was going to basically one endpoint? wow. |
| 01:40.40 | TodPunk | programmerq: could be multiple available endpoints |
| 01:40.53 | TodPunk | I have a VPN service that has worldwide endpoints |
| 01:42.05 | aeryndunham | It seemed to be going lots of different placs |
| 01:42.09 | aeryndunham | our firewall is kind of hard to read |
| 01:42.41 | aeryndunham | Hammer VPN is what he was using |
| 01:48.21 | aeryndunham | So that was today's excitement |
| 01:48.36 | aeryndunham | Otherwise I've just been working on my resume which is never a pleasant task |
| 01:56.24 | TodPunk | Just wait until you've been at it too long and can't fit it into two pages without cutting significant pieces of your experience out |
| 01:56.42 | TodPunk | Like I don't even list my PHP experience anymore |
| 01:56.53 | TodPunk | Of course, I switched to a project resume |
| 01:58.21 | aeryndunham | My life still fits on one page, really |
| 01:58.35 | aeryndunham | although I feel like have way more technical skills than I put on here |
| 01:58.38 | aeryndunham | but I don't know what to say |
