#backfire

Since 2021, I hadn't used #hackthebox. Recently tackled the #Backfire machine, which required combining #SSRF and #RCE vulnerabilities.

To complete it, I used two AIs: #o1 and #DeepSeek R1. While helpful, In my opinion, AIs can only support about 20% or 30% of the process, the rest relies on expertise and experience, especially when the machine hasn't been retired yet and there's not much info available.

Immediate . It turns out the forcing the from the is having a rejection effect. Just look away! 40 years later....you remember christmas? What christmas? You know, with the ten commandments? What are you talking about honey? You better get back to your house before your husband is back from the bank heist. Did you murder the gluttonous guy at the security desk? Oh man good thing we didn't look at those stupid bibles!

Yeah, I decided to watch the latest episode of LegalEagle. It is about Project 2025.

The policy changes proposed in this project as so cartoonishly evil that there is only one entity that came to my mind: the Enclave from Fallout.

Don't get me wrong. The entire project is frightening. If someone were to put it into action, innumerable innocents would suffer.

I say it is cartoonishly evil because those policies are so stupid that it will inevitably backfire in their faces, as they actually did for the Enclave in Fallout.

Again, this is not to minimize the suffering of those who are directly targeted by this project.

The Enclave in Fallout was cartoonishly evil, but since this was a game, it was an entertaining thought exercise. It was fun, as long as nobody wanted to implement anything resembling the Enclave.

Now people want to implement, in real life, something akin to the Enclave: Project 2025. It is cartoonishly evil, but it is also scary, because if ever implemented, multitudes will suffer.

(If you wonder why not the Nazis. That's because I see the Nazis as ruthlessly evil, not cartoonishly evil. I also have more lived experience with the Enclave. I did not live during WWII, but I've played the Fallout games.)
