[Trial] Hack my comms!

[Durandal]

You are being paranoid beyond belief. This is to allow people to hack my comms. Mine. My own. I'm not doing anything to anyone without their consent wtf.

I think you misunderstand where I'm coming from.

Was considering the merits of personally using the system.

Okay, well, you need to specify that. As I said before, if you wanna do something like that, you're free to finetune it yourself.

i first though to use dice, but Durandal and I weren't happy with how the worked with the decimal probabilities, so I changed to using a random number function on a google spreadsheet. i think this works pretty well- it covers pretty much all the possibilities, i think. Also, this would allow for both sides to view the hack attempt to ensure fairplay

[Durandal]

Huge kudos to @JorgeRyan for that, I reckon that's how I'll be doing it.

I like the idea. But what stops people from using the Mactan Network to generate the ultimate encryption?

[JorgeRyan]

Well, that would be like someone placing "Unbreakable" encryption on their message, which still needs their permission to be hacked at all, in this manner. The randomness is to add a bit of.... unpredictable excitement, to the proceedings (or at least, thats what i think the reasoning is).

[Durandal]

I stop myself from doing that. Again, I'm not sure why I have to keep specifying that this thread is about a system I developed for myself, so people can hack my transmissions. I'm not a fan of people using "unbreakable" encryption, but I'm also not the one doing it so... shrug?

[SkyNet]

Maybe you could also add a chance of revealing the identity or faction affiliation of an attacker. Otherwise there's no risk of getting discovered as hacker. Just an idea.

[MotokoSusu]

i like the idea. only thing is like IRG and ourselves the Abh are research groups even thou we are zoners I think the encryption would be higher since researchers are tech adept
