One of the oldest proxies. AMA
My name on the Eye is Carter. I can't tell you my real name otherwise I'd be extradited. I'm one of the first of generation X back in the 21st and I've been part of Firewall since back when it was just a loose network of friends with no official name. I have died, been reborn, brought back from backups multiple times. I've been in every proxy position except Crow and been everywhere in the system. AMA kiddies.

How the hell did you confuse
How the hell did you confuse 'extracted' with 'extradited'? Don't you have a muse?

No, I mean extradited. I'm wanted by another polity.

Yet another Carter
Yet another Carter impersonator. He was compromised so long ago and left as a shill for wannabe I-net infiltrator. The response team should have you in a torturespace since about 5 seconds ago.

Bitch how new are you? Or did you just happen to be re-instantiated? That was an alpha fork infected with the exsurgent in what is now the TQZ. Already put a bullet in that thing so it'd stop leaking our secrets. Besides, any idiot who knows how to look at profiles knows that this mesh ID's been active since the beginning. Who would go around forging metadata to fuck with people in an AMA?

If you were able to spoof the meta data of messaging posts, but not secured systems like finance or fabrication, what would be your typical social engineering plan to escalate that to better privileges?
A slight smell of ions....

"Carter"?
Synapse <Info [u]Msg[/u] [u]Rep[/u]> Wait, [i]which[/i] Carter are you? I've heard of no fewer than three Firewall members using "Carter" as part of their alias, as well as dozens of non-Firewall-members. Are you Jake Carter, Brawn Carter, or one of the several people styling themselves "John Carter of Mars"? And that's discounting the probable hundreds of people whose "real" surname is Carter. I'm being completely serious, here; I don't mean to offend. Regardless of that, an actual question: I'm a sentinel. What are the signs that my proxy is starting to mistrust me? Well, okay, some mistrust is part of the deal; what are the signs that they're starting to mistrust me more than other members of the team?

Synapse <Info [u]Msg[/u] [u]Rep[/u]> Ok, so firstly, any privilege is a better privilege. I'm assuming you haven't even gotten into the system based on the nature of your question. I also assume this system is encrypted, otherwise you should be able to get in without a problem... unless you're retarded of course. This is the part where I'm going to have to ask for more details. But one strategy that could potentially work would be good old fashion phishing. Be careful though, few are rarely that stupid. Other advice I could give are along those lines but first I'd need specifics. How many users are you aware of in the system? Are their social media accounts private? And what's their infosec like? After all if you know how to spoof then surely you must know how to intrude and subvert.

Synapse <Info [u]Msg[/u] [u]Rep[/u]> I'm THE Carter. There is nothing before or after that name. Just Carter. What server are you on? Because I don't always appear on local mirrors of the Eye. Between making this thread and responding to this post I've already moved again. Try looking me up in threads made months ago, or the wiki. I contribute there sometimes, especially in the DIY weapons & mods section. And don't apologize about offending me. To offend is not a choice, being offended is. That said, I am judging you. Now for the actual question. Depends. There's trust of information and trust of choice. Routers are especially keen on the latter because how much distance they give your leash ultimately reflects on them when another cell has to clean up your fuckups. So which do you think you are being mistrusted over and why? This also depends on the composition of your cell. Are your peers part of a group that always stick together? Or does your router pick a number of sentinels that they think best suits the specific situation?

I don't have an internal muse
I don't have an internal muse and even I can write common language. Try keeping your muse externally and you learn to work when there isn't a voice inside your head. Even I make mistakes though, but nothing is finer then doing something with your hands instead of the metal in your head. >Here I am again not realizing there's more to the conversation then someone coming in and attempting to be inflammatory.
