FOUND YOU

Yandere Jihoon x fem reader.

WC: 3.8K

Jihoon was never one for relationships. His stoic behavior tends to bore the ladies, but he's had is fair share of flings. However, when some low life hacker tries to access his files; he cant help but look into you more, and some more, and a little more until he becomes obsessed. Jihoon makes it his mission to find you.

WARNINGS: YANDERE, stalking, DUB CON, phone sex, spying, unconsented filming, use of sex toys, fingering, mention of kidnapping, sugar daddy Jihoon, bratty reader.

A/N: i love this fic and I love you woozi.

One semester left… just one. Why on earth would they raise your tuition by $5,000? Are they forgetting both of your parents are dead and you have no job? The financial aid office is no help and you're already about $10,000 in debt. How nice. You look at your computer, contemplating. There's always that option… no it’s not safe. But damn you need money, you need your degree, you need to get out of this fucking city and start over. You look down at your cat Bruno sitting at your feet.

“Should I?”

He just gives you a judgemental look and walks away. This fucking cat…

You have no other choice. You pull out your spare laptop, not risking your pc getting any viruses. A few months ago you drunkenly stumbled upon a website on the dark web that gives you access to IP addresses of major company computers. You very easily figured out how to access their files, you can see everything; their expenses, investments, and payments. It would be so easy to transfer money to an offshore account and cover your traces. Scrolling through the list of companies you try to find one you’ve never heard of. More popular companies tend to have more security.

“Universe factory?”

Hmmm. Doesn't ring a bell. It’s located about fifteen miles from your apartment so you aren't worried about them finding you. Weirdly, you can't find any bank accounts linked to this company. Scouring through some files, this seems to be a music company of sorts? You find samples of songs, lyrics, beats, and oh shit.. Drug shipments? Why is this in the music files? You try to dive deeper only for your connection to completely cut off and your computer blue screens. Fucking hell. The computer won’t turn back on and you won't have a chance to cover your tracks. So much for being computer savvy…

“Fuckkkkk” youre actually fucked. These people are clearly good if they are able to shut off your computer so they may have already found your address by now. You're hoping your vpn and security walls help you. You get up and start to pace. Why on earth did you think this was a good idea? Of course you somehow chose the shadiest fucking company on earth. There's nothing to do now but stress and wait for your likely impending death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The fuck?”

Jihoon’s studio is his safe space. He’s lucky Cheol lets him pursue his passions on the side, this mafia thing tends to take up a lot of his time so being able to unwind in his own space is a treasure. But when he returns to his computer he senses something is wrong. Someone’s gone through his files. Now, Jihoon wouldn't be too worried if all that was on this computer was his music, but recently he’s been using the Universe factory as a coverup to store documents from past business deals. Now this couldnt have been the work of some amaetur, in order to get past all his security takes some real skill, and to be able to do it without a trace? Hm…

Jihoon looks through his files, trying to catalog all the incriminating evidence.

“Tiger’s super wicked diss track?” he speaks in disbelief. When the fuck did Soonyoung get in his studio? And record a fucking distrack?

Jihoon runs a program to see the location of the last user to access his encrypted files. Nothing? Hmm… This is too random to be a coincidence, this person must've found his IP address and started from there. He decides to be bold and search his IP addresses on his self made database, it wouldn't hurt.

“ “FoundYou.com”? What the fuck?”

Well he hit the jackpot. He was able to look at who accessed this website in the past 24 hours and who interacted with the universe factory link. He traced the computer to a rural part of antarctica… ok that's definitely not the real location. He digs a little deeper finding layers and layers of security. He’s starting to think this may not be some silly hacker and could be a rival mafia pulling at strings. After an hour he’s confident he’s found the real address and hacker. About fifteen miles from him lives a Y/N L/N, full time student, studying in computer science, $10,437.76 in debt and an orphan… hm. He looks up your instagram and woah. He wasn’t expecting you to look like that. He sees your friends, finds their instagrams, just to see more pictures of you cover his bases. Your college friends speak highly of you, your highschool friends love you, oh wow even your elementary school friends still hang out with you. He digs a little deeper, just to know who he’s dealing with. You adopted a cat a year ago, a cat who visits the vet very often. Gestational blockages, broken arm, not eating, bladder infection… This cat seems like a handful.

“Bruno? Like Bruno Mars or Bruno from Encanto?” he whispers to himself.

You visited the hospital last year from a broken pinky, your dermatologist keeps increasing the strength of your acne medication, you take very strong pills for your cramps. Car accident when you were 7, therapy for 10 years and dead parents?… Figures.

Your credit card statement says a lot about you. $7 matcha lattes three times a week despite being in debt. $15 chipotle bowls and 12am Mcdonalds. You really like shopping at Adam and eve… freaky. You bought $100 worth of things from amazon yesterday. You sure do buy a lot of cat toys on amazon, this cat is spoiled. Hair dye, batteries, water bottles, 12 pound bag of skittles?

“Woozi, what are you doing?” Soonyoung whispers in his ear.

Jihoon jumps, “When did you even get in here?”

“You get too immersed in your work, but why are you on amazon?”

“None of your business get out! AND WHEN DID YOU RECORD A DISS TRACK IN HERE.”

Hoshi’s eyes widen and he quickly makes his exit leaving Jihoon alone again. He knows he’s being a creep but he doesn't have it in him to care. You’re just so interesting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Bruno there's no one at the door stop growling.”

You open the door to show him no one is outside, but low and behold sitting outside your apartment is a large bouquet of hydrangeas… your favorite flower.

“The fuck?”

You further inspect the flowers, seeing a note in the center.

“My precious little hacker, I’ll be seeing you soon. P.S check your bank account - Woozi’s Universe factory.”

You drop the flowers. Oh my god.You figured something like this would happen but now that it's happening you're freaked out. God, you should have minded your business. Now the little money you had is probably gone as some sort of twisted revenge. As you login to your bank app you're sure you've lost your mind and you're seeing things. $20,000 was wired to your savings account.

“What the fuck.”

You know better than to touch this money. It’s too good to be true. But, this would pay off your debt and get you a better apartment… fuck. You check your email to see what time the money was wired only to see an email from your school saying there were changes made to your account. Can this day get any worse? But it somehow gets better, not only is your tuition paid but all your debt is cleared… you must've suffered a head injury and you're making all of this up while in a coma.

“Bruno, I might be killed in the next 7 days… Then you’ll have to fend for yourself.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Bruno, I might be killed in the next 7 days.. Then you’ll have to fend for yourself.” your sweet voice rings out.

Jihoon had to see your reaction to his gift. He’s glad you didn't notice the green dot on your mac as he watched you through the webcam. He loves the way you talk to Bruno like he’s a human.

It took a lot of digging to figure out your favorite flower, it was one of your security questions for your bank app. He hopes you appreciate his generosity, it’s not everyday that he goes out of his way to spoil someone. He sees you looking absolutely bewildered and he can’t help but smile. But this smile quickly drops when you turn to your computer and your eyes widen, presumably seeing your camera is on.

“YOU FUCKING CREEP!” you scream as you power off your computer, leaving him staring at a blank screen.

He just smiles in response. He’s gonna have so much fun with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The gifts don't end. Everyday at 4pm you arrive home and on your doorstep is something new, perfume, jewelry, bags, clothes, cat toys. This person must be rich. Though today the bell never rings. You even stand in your hallway looking for the delivery but it never comes.

“Well isn't that weird?” you say to yourself as you unlock your door.

“Bruno?” Usually he comes running up to you when you unlock your door.

You see Bruno inspecting a bright red gift box sitting on your kitchen counter. You stop dead in your tracks. How the fuck did they get in your apartment?

“Bruno! Move away from that.” you say and scoop him up.

Oh god. This is getting insane. Leaving the gifts on your doorstep is one thing but coming inside?

You stare at the gift for an hour. You're too afraid to open it. That is until it starts to vibrate. Is this a fucking bomb? You jump and open the box, seeing a brand new phone… Um Ok? The phone is receiving a call from an unknown number and obviously you don't answer it, setting the phone back down only for the same number to call again. You hesitantly answer.

“Hello?”

“Hi, my love.”

“Who is this?”

“Don’t worry about it, yet.”

“Ok, I’m gonna hang up.”

“Y/N, I wouldn't do that f I was you.”

“Stop being a fucking creep and sending shit to my door step.”

He just laughs.

“I left one more gift for you, why don’t you go look.”

You sigh and walk to your door, looking out the peephole first and opening it, picking up the large box.

“Are there killer wasps in here?” you sarcastically say.

“No, there are no wasps,” he laughs.

You open the box and pause, turning your head to your computer to see your camera is on.

“Are you watching me?”

“I’m always watching you, love.”

“God, youre a fucking creep, I should call the cops.”

“And tell them what? You tried to hack me and steal money from me? That you're a dirty little hacker and a thief?”

You’re starting to get upset, this is fucking insane.

“Open the box, love.”

You look at the computer and flip him off before opening the box. You gasp. This fucker sent you sex toys?

“ALL YOU DO IS SHOW ME HOW MUCH OF A FUCKING PERVERT YOU ARE!” you yell into the phone.

“Is it so bad I want my baby to feel good?”

“I’m not your baby! I don’t even fucking know you.”

“I know you don’t know me but I know you. I know everything about you. Your favorite color is blue, your favorite food is Japanese curry, though you eat kimchi fried rice the most. You adopted Bruno because you needed something to keep you company since you don't really date. Your best friend moved away eight months ago and you two don't really talk anymore. Should I continue?”

“What the fuck.” you say with wide eyes.

“Baby, don’t get scared. I’m just so in love with you I need to know everything.”

“Um.” What do you even say to this?

“And don’t pretend this isn’t your darkest fantasy. I’ve seen your tumblr search history.”

Your eyes somehow widen. He got you there. Just the idea of having a clearly rich man obsessed with you would be enough to make you wet if he wasn't a pervert.

“I want you to take out the shibari.”

You pull out a pretty blue vibrator. It’s even your favorite shade of blue.

“Ok?”

“I want you to use it for me.”

“Absolutely not.”

“Baby, I wouldn’t want to do things to make you upset, but I need you to listen to me. I’m not above blackmailing you and I’m sure you wouldn't want me to come snatch you up.”

Your jaw drops.

“Youre fucking crazy!”

“Baby, you just make me feel so many things for you.”

You groan, cursing yourself for ever being greedy and trying to steal.

“What do you want me to do?” you sigh out.

“Take off your pants and sit on your desk chair.”

“Do I have to?” you pout looking straight into the camera.

“Yes, baby. I want to see you.”

Why is this making you wet? God, you fucking hate that this is exactly the smut you would always search for. You groan at the situation, yourself, at this mystery pervert.

You shimmy out of your pants and sit in your desk chair. You put the phone on speaker and set it down.

“Now what?”

“Turn it on and rub it over your nipples.”

“And if I don’t?”

“I’m sure the guys waiting outside your apartment would love to do it for you.”

Your heart drops to your ass and you turn it on, quickly putting it on your nipple.

Jeez, this thing is powerful. You let out a breathy moan disguised as a sigh.

“Run it down your body.”

You slowly drag the vibrator down your body, your breathing becoming heavy.

“Put your legs up on the chair and put it on your clit over your panties, I wanna see you soak through them.”

You put the head of the vibrator on your clit a little too hard making you jump.

“Slow your roll baby.” he laughs, making you roll your eyes.

This vibrator is on a different level from the shitty ones you have. It feels like you're being stimulated throughout your whole body, everything is vibrating and you feel yourself leaking.

“I can see you getting wetter baby, fuck. I bet that pussy tastes so good.”

You moan, pressing the vibrator harder against you, feeling your toes curl.

“Does it feel good, baby?”

You close your eyes and nod, swallowing the shame. “It feels really good.”

“Move your panties to the side, let me see.”

You pull your soaked panties over and press the vibrator to your swollen clit. He lets out a deep groan. Jihoon can't believe his eyes, it’s like a dream come true. Your pretty pussy dripping wet just for him, you whining and moaning like all you can think about is cumming. He pulls out his hard cock, beginning to stroke himself, imagining he was fucking you. He would give it to you however you wanted, let you come as many times as you desired. No matter how bad you treated him, he would be on his knees begging to make you cum. The hold you have over him is unfathomable. You’re truly like an angel sent to heaven just for him and he'll be damned if he doesn’t get his hands on you. He doesn't even have it in him to feel bad about watching you, listening to you, exploring you. In his mind you’ve been his from the moment he first saw you. His to worship, spoil, love until the end of time. You’ve become his muse, his lyrics flow out with only you in mind, he makes songs with the purpose of you hearing them. You’ve taken him over completely and he is so irrevocably in love with you. You don’t even need to love him back, he already has enough love for the both of you, and it's not like he wouldn’t be able to force you. A little isolation does wonders on the brain.

“I need more,” you whine out.

“Tell me what you want.”

You just whine more in response, too embarrassed to speak. “You want to use your fingers?”

You nod furiously, opening your eyes to plead with him.

“Ok baby, slide two in for me. I want you to make yourself feel good.”

You listen and slide your fingers in, pumping them straight into your g-spot. You feel yourself on the verge of an orgasm, your moans becoming louder and more frequent.

“Turn it off”

Your eyes fly open. “What.”

“You heard me baby, turn it off.”

“No, no please I’m so close.”

“Y/N.”

You turn it off and throw it to the side, so insanely frustrated.

“What is your deal!”

“You’re not cumming unless it's around my cock, baby.”

This man never fails to surprise you. “And what makes you think I’ll fuck you?”

“Trust me when I say that won’t be an issue.”

“What makes you so sure I just won’t finish myself off when I hang up?”

“I’m always watching, baby. It’s crazy how small they make cameras nowadays.”

“Fuck you Woozi’s Universe Factory.” you say not even able to take yourself seriously.

He just laughs. “I’ll be seeing you soon my love.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Is he named after Bruno Mars or Bruno from Encanto?” a deep voice rings out from your couch as you enter your apartment making you scream.

You turn to run out your apartment only to see two giants standing in your hallway blocking your exit. You groan and turn back around seeing Bruno sitting in the man's lap. Woah. Is this your stalker? Because if so, you have zero complaints. You’ve never been one to like guys with long hair, but his curls are just so hot and his lips.. How are they so plump? He’s wearing a tight black turtleneck and slacks with a gold chain. He looks so fucking hot, suddenly your not as pissed that he forced you masturbate for him.

“Who are you?”

“You know exactly who I am, my love.”

“I don't know your name. Do you want me to call you Woozi’s Universe factory?”

He breathes out a laugh. “My name is Jihoon, love.”

“I’m sure you already know my name and give me my fucking cat.” you go to grab Bruno who hisses at you. You gasp.

“You little traitor.” you growl. “The real Bruno Mars would never treat me like this.” you say threateningly to the cat.

“Ahh, Bruno Mars. I love that guy.” Jihoon says as he lifts the cat to look him in his eyes. “You want to stay with me don’t you?” to which the cat purrs.

You’re more shocked at your cat's betrayal than Jihoon breaking into your apartment.

“Y/N, sit with me”

“No.”

He raises a brow at you.

“Fine, but not because you asked.” you pout and sit next to him.

“Are you not scared?”

“Honestly, you're too cute for me to be scared of you. Like look at these cheeks.” you say and squeeze his cheeks making him grab your hand and pull it away from your face.

“You don’t know who you're messing with, my love.”

“I mean if you were going to kill me you would've done it already. And I know you're not going to anyway because why would you waste all this money on someone you were going to kill?”

He smiles. “So smart, baby.”

Why is he calling you baby and love? This is actually kind of spooking you.

“What do you want Jihoon?”

“I want you to come live with me.”

Your eyes widen. The fuck? Your feelings must be visible on your face because he continues.

“So, you just want me to get up and leave with you?”

“Yes.”

“Why would I come with you? You've done nothing but stalk and harrass me!”

“I’ve have not been stalking you, love. Everything I’ve done is a result of your actions. You decided to try to hack me which gave me access to everything.”

“You're just trying to manipulate me!” you say and stand up.

He looked deeply offended by this. “Manipulate you? Tell me one thing in what I said that's not true.”

He has a point. You're just grasping at straw to be honest. “What If I don’t want to go with you.” you pout and stomp your foot looking like a child.

“Then I’ll take you by force.” he says with a straight face.

Oh. You weigh your options. Would you rather live in this hell hole remaining broke and sad or go with him and drain his pockets? You don’t even know where he’s taking you, he could be bringing you to a cabin in the woods to lock you up and kill you. But it’s not like you have an option and you would much rather do this the easy way.

“Ok fine. But not because you told me to” God, you sound like such a brat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Six months later

“Jihoonnnnnnn.”

“Yes baby?”

“Can you buy me this?”

He groans. “Baby, what else could you possibly buy? You have it all.”

You show him your phone.

“Baby, you have this bag in three colors.” he deadpans.

“OK? This is my favorite color though.” You say like it's the most obvious thing on the planet.

Despite his grumbling he gets up and takes out his wallet, handing you his black card. Jihoon can never say no to you. Anything you ask for is yours, no matter what. Your life has completely changed since meeting him. You wouldn't say he’s your sugar daddy because you're equally as in love with him as he is with you, but, lord does he spoil you. You moved into his high rise apartment and completely renovated it to your taste without a single complaint from him. He bought you a new wardrobe, new cars, bags, jewels, anything you could ever dream of. And the sex.. It’s just incredible. And Bruno is as spoiled as ever. He’s Jihoon’s baby despite Jihoon pretending to dislike him. You know what Jihoon does for a living, that's none of your business though. All that you care about is keeping him and yourself happy. You’ve grown more than accustomed to this lifestyle, not knowing how you functioned before meeting him.

“Thank you Woozipoo”

“Stop calling me that” he groans.

“If you want me to stop you’ll get out this fucking studio and come to bed.”

He rolls his head to you. “Why would I do that?”

“So I can thank you for being so good to me.” you say into his neck making him groan.

“God, baby don’t say things like that.”

“I can’t tell my man how much I want to fuck him?”

“Get your ass in the bedroom.”

Hi, what do you think of the latest chapters, especially the school case? Are there any hints regarding the plot? Do you think Maria is a suspicious girl?

File 1110-1112 Review

There were multiple hints/developments regarding the main plot in this case.

For starters, we had Gosho finally giving us a clue to the state of the shrunkies body when it comes to aging. Conan questioned why he didn't grow a centimeter every time his height got measured (File 1110), which Haibara deflected to answer by playing it down.

This is as good of a confirmation as any that Conan, Haibara & Mary cannot age in their shrunken state like Vermouth, which not only implicates Vermouth further to have taken a variant of APTX in the past but also that the shrunkies have to take the antidote by the end of the series to regain a normal life back.

Another part that caught my interest is the fact that Gosho used specific yen numbers in association with Haibara & Maria in the case, that had interesting potential to be chapter easter eggs that could be serving as foreshadowing/references to Haibara & Maria. Haibara was gonna pay 258 yen & Maria was gonna pay 302 yen.

If you look up the which chapter these numbers correspond to, Haibara's is a reference to desperate revivial case, where she completed a prototype antidote for the first time and was questioned whether she was gonna take the antidote or not (File 258).

Maria's is a reference to Sunset mansion case, where the Boss of the organization Karasuma Renya was first introduced (File 302).

This is the second time Maria has been indirectly associated with the Boss of the black organization, seeing as her reintro (File 1006-1008) was the same case that revealed Karasuma Renya to be the Boss of the black organization.

It looks like it's by design that Gosho dropped these antidote easter eggs for Haibara, just after teasing the idea that Haibara can't age normally, as well as these continued Karasuma Renya easter eggs for Maria. It's hard to say in the current stage what future awaits Maria (especially if there is any connection to Karasuma), but there are handful of clues to that she is more than your average side character, just by the nature of her characterization (her name, english influence, being the next transfer student after Haibara).

The following chapter potentially gave us the awaited answers to the mysterious Kohji case uploader. Yusaku reveals the suspicions that Wakasa was behind the Kohji case info uploads, and that she monitored the IP address of PC:s that entered the website, which in turn lead her to Conan who used Agasa's PC (File 1111).

This part seemingly resolves the mystery behind the Kohji case uploader, however, it doesn't fully resolve/explain why Wakasa set her eyes on a random curious kid, or how she realized his true competence/value to the point of joining an elementary school. I think this part of Yusaku's suspicions could be complimented with the idea of Asaka having sources that directly confirmed Conan as a valuable asset/player against the organization (i.e Kir, if Asaka is a CIA agent).

Yusaku then started to warn Yukiko about the possibility of Asaka being the type who would go through any lengths to achieve her goals (File 1111), which Gosho seems to wanna emphasize a lot to clarify her character type, as seen even with Rum's subordinates mentioning her potentially using teachers and kids as shields from bullets (File 1112).

Yusaku then proceeded to analyze her motives for staying in Teitan Elementary for as long as she has, which was also questioned by Rum (File 1112), only to be revealed at the end of the resolution chapter that it'd because of her fixation on Haibara.

You can find my speculations on Wakasa's fixation on Haibara here:

The rest of the case had very heartwarming stuff with the kids and their parents (especially Haibara & Agasa), including a unique twist where Haibara ended up becoming the culprit of a relatively harmless act, which was refreshing.

We also got to properly meet Maria's mother for the first time, who resembles her quite a lot (apart from having black hair like a full-blooded japanese).

We have had clues to Maria's foreign blood through not only her foreign name and light hair colour but also the showcased english influence when her grandma called the bird toy "bird-chan" (File 1007).

The fact that her mother doesn't seem to have foregin features could be an indication that Maria inherited the foreign characteristics from her father. There is therefore room for the possibility that Maria's father is an important foreigner/non-full-japanese character in the main plot. In which case, a mysterious foreigner-looking character that comes to mind that could fit that role is the driver of "Vader" (respirator elder), who recently got a keyhole feature for Volume 103.

Even if Vader ends up being Haneda Yasuharu (Kohji's father), we have no guarantee that the driver is a good guy. For all that we know, the driver could be Maria's father who is connected/related to Karasuma Renya himself (which would explain the potential easter eggs to Karasuma in recent Maria cases).

Virtual Embodiment

Your quirk allows you to enter the virtual world no matter what device (console, tablet, phone, computer).

The idle lunch chatter filled the air as you took a vacant seat, preparing to dig into a lunch you’d been looking forward to when several shadows fell across your own. Several classmates stood on the opposite end of the table, each with their gazes locked upon your own, as you nervously looked to each in turn; a fiery blonde, red head, one freckled, and beak for a mouth. “Is there something I can help you all with?”

Katsuki Bakugo was the first to answer, his open palm meeting the table’s surface with a loud impact that made the cafeteria fall silent. “How long did you think you could hide it, huh?!”

Your brows furrowed. “Sorry?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, stupid extra, I bet you secretly laughed at us the whole time!”

Now you were thoroughly confused. “Trust me, I’d never laugh at any of you no matter the reason.” You looked to Eijiro Kirishima for translation or explanation of the blonde’s meaning but only received a curious yet excited smile showcasing his sharp teeth. A glance to Izuku Midoriya revealed a similar expression, though his was a bit more eccentric as he was busy scribbling within the notebook he always kept handy, and then there was Fumikage Tokoyami who met your gaze calmest. It was rare to see this type of a group and even more so that they were talking to you of all people. You were in a different class, after all, so it was odd that they knew you existed in the first place since you didn’t deem yourself anything special. “I’m still kind of lost, senpais. Can someone please explain to me what’s going on?”

“Apologies, (L/n), but I believe my fellow classmate was referring to events that transpired last evening.” Tokoyami bowed his head. “Forgive his rudeness and blunt disregard that he has interrupted your lunch. This is not a matter of great importance so with your permission we could always return at a later time to properly discuss this topic.”

Silverware fell to lay flat on the table as you sighed. “Thanks for the offer, but my appetite has pretty much disappeared thanks to the raging Pomeranian there. Might as well get this conversation over now so that I can go about my day like a regular person should.” Taking a deep breath, you turned your full attention upon Kirishima who was in the process of attempting to calm down Bakugo who had not appreciated your comment. “I haven’t got all day now.”

“Right, sorry.” He sheepishly smiled while forcing the blonde into a chair with ease before taking the one directly across from you, “You see, in our free time we like to play video games from PC to console to VR. It’s not very often that we get on but there’s this player that seems to be on the servers quite a bit whenever we are. Midoriya here,” one of his hands gestured to the freckled teen who slowly sank to sit within another chair, “found the IP address and tracked it to find traces of a student who goes to UA.”

A lump in your throat rose but it was swallowed down. This wouldn’t be the first time people had tracked your online profile, certainly wouldn’t be the last despite your best efforts, but you didn’t recognize other players as classmates. There had been no hints dropped from you or opposite parties of what outside life was like. Crossing your arms, you fixed a bored expression upon the blonde. “So you decided to jump to conclusions all on your own just because a few things happened to line up?” With a sigh, you made to stand when Dark Shadow appeared from behind that prevented your chair from shifting backwards. Anger began to bubble within your veins. “Okay, what is this, some sort of interrogation? You can’t seriously think you can keep me here.”

“We don’t intend to, we just need to know if you’re who we think you are.” Tokoyami said slowly.

“Then hurry up and tell me!”

“(Insert Gamer Tag of Choice),” they all chorused, “and we know about your ‘Virtual Embodiment’ quirk that allows you to fully immerse yourself into the virtual world.”

All blood within your body grew cold.

Katsuki Bakugo

A sense of fulfillment came over him as you grew pale. So his hunch had been right on the money. You were always within the computer labs or being asked technical troubleshoot questions out of everyone in the school, even the class responsible for creating supportive accessories for the Hero’s Course had gone to you for advice on things! He’d seen you around a few times lingering around the school after hours when only the teachers were left and if that wasn’t suspicious he didn’t know what was. “I knew it,” he growled lowly while leaning into your personal space, “you’re the only one in the entire school who has a quirk that allows you to enter the virtual world without complicated equipment.”

Your gaze wanted to look anywhere else but they were ensnared by the blazing infernos that were his eyes which bore into yours. The lump returned, threatening to choke you, as words attempted to form. “L-look, if I bothered you in some way, I’m sorry—”

“I want to know how you did it!” His shout nearly rendered you deaf, several other students casting weary glances at the table; all knew of his temper and did not envy your current position. He must have felt their questioning looks and instantly took hold of your wrist. “Let’s take this outside.”

Powerless, you limply allowed him to lead you from the crowded space meant for people to eat within until coming to a stop just outside the set of doors that was towards the school’s east exit where he released you with a huff. Surprisingly his hold hadn’t been as tight as you’d imagined it to be, if anything he’d been oddly gentle, and his expression of anger was beginning to give way to one of hesitation. All you could do was blink up at him while waiting patiently for him to voice the reason to his actions.

“That sniper shot you took from the back of Breakneck Bay…how’d you pull a stunt like that off?”

And that was when you were hit with reality. So he had been one of the online teammates that you’d played with recently. “It all makes sense now.” The shadow of your hair fell to obscure your eyes. “You probably think I’m a cheater or hacker but I’m not. I just want to play the game my own way like everybody else.”

“I know your quirk let’s you full body dive into the virtual world, dumbass, so cut the crap. If it’s something that only you can do then fine, I’ll accept it, but I wanna know if I can do it next time I take on Shitty Hair or dumb Deku.” Pink tinged the tips of his ears when your widened gaze met his own in shock, earning a grunt. “Oi, what’s that look for?!”

A laugh slipped from between your lips before it could be stopped, earning a pout from the blonde, and you hurried to apologize for it by taking out your phone. “I don’t know if anyone can but I’m happy to try and show you how. What’s your number and maybe I’ll shoot you a call when I can get on next?”

To say he lit up was an understatement as his own phone instantly appeared inches from your face.

“Then again, maybe I should just message you online, ‘LordExplosionMurderer’.”

His face turned beet red at your remembering his gamer tag. “Got a problem with it?!”

You smiled. “Not at all. Actually I kinda like it and find it suiting since you use a lot of rocket launchers despite your close combat style. Makes it entertaining to watch the opposing teammates fly off into the distance.”

A smirk raised his lips. “Damn right it is.”

Eijiro Kirishima

He instantly picked up on your discomfort and offered you his hand. “Here, let’s go someplace a little more quieter.” Completely ignoring the rants of a certain blonde, he gathered your forgotten food to be consumed later and helped you escape the gazes of a full cafeteria. A sheepish smile raised his lips while coming to a stop near the fridges that students could use to keep leftovers cool. “Sorry about my friend back there…and all that. I realize that we must have come off pretty bad coming at you like we did. If you’d like, I can make up for it by asking you out.”

The initial shock suddenly gave way to embarrassment that manifested itself deep within your cheeks, making them bright red. “W-w-what?!”

It took a moment for his own words be comprehended by their speaker, judging from the sudden blush that spread across the bridge of his nose. “Oh, wow, that totally sounded like I just asked you out on a date, huh? Not that I would mind since you’re cute and really cool and seem to be a pretty good person—” His hand rose to scratch the back of his neck. “—I’m getting way off topic here so I’ll just cut to the chase. I know you play online RPGs like Summoners Art Online and wondered if you’d like to form a party! You made taking down that level eighty boss look like a cake walk and your armor is super cool looking too! I’ve honestly been stuck on this one dungeon, the one with King Lich of Rowanwood, and could use some help.” A bow of his head brought it smack against the open locker that a student had left open, making you flinch at the impact which left the door bent. “Please! I’ll give you whatever loot that drops! I’ve tried everything from special potions to expensive shop items and nothing has worked!”

Sympathy filled you at his words. “Yeah, that’s a tough one alright. What level are you?”

Instantly he was upright with eyes practically glowing with hope. “Twenty-seven.”

“Well, that’s your first problem,” you chuckled, “he’s a level ninety.”

His jaw dropped. “Seriously?! Why would they have it that high when it’s so close to one of the safety zones?!”

“Because it was part of an update recently to allow players to challenge themselves solo or with a party based upon their level.” Your brows furrowed. “I didn’t recognize your avatar, Kirishima-senpai, mind if I ask what to keep an eye out for?”

“No problem! I’m the big shark-humanoid walking around with Giant Forged Armor!”

Your brows rose. “That’s impressive since Giant Forged Armor was a special event SS drop item that had less than a six-percent drop rate.”

The grin raising his lips widened. “Trust me, it took way longer than a lot of those other pro gamers predicted.”

A sense of comradeship filled you with each second that passed in similar conversation. It wasn’t a popular game that many played by any means yet here was a classmate at your school who seemed to love playing it as much as you did. And he had more than proved how much of an avid gamer he was. Now that you thought about it, you’d seen a player lumbering about during raids that fit his description. The flesh of your bottom lip became caught in your teeth. “Who would’ve thought that Kirishima-senpai was ‘BigBadDaddyShark’.” Your tease earned a whole hearted laugh from the red head. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad forming a party with someone for a change. He blinked when you accepted the food then placed it upon a shelf to be gathered after class, earning a tilt of his head when you faced him fully. “You sure you’re okay with playing with someone like me? Lots of people call me a ‘cheater’ or ‘hacker’ because I can fully immerse myself into a game platform.”

His head shook vigorously. “I’m not like other players, honest, I think it’s super cool that your quirk lets you full dive without an Oculus or VR headset.”

Your lips lifted into a small smile as he commended the skill he’d seen during a dungeon boss battle. “If you’d like, I can take you to some of my favorite weapon shops that have great weekend deals. They might help you out with getting proper gear and stuff.” Both of your hands rose, heat tingling within your cheeks. “Not that what you have already is inadequate since I’m sure you worked hard for everything in your inventory—”

“I’d like that a lot, (L/n), thanks in advance!” He grinned as the bell signaling the end of the lunch hour sounded, turning to head back to class but stopping for a moment for his gaze to meet yours. “Seven o’clock work for you?” Another grin earned you a flash of his teeth as he began walking backwards. “Great! I can’t wait to learn from you, (L/n)-senpai!”

The students who had heard his call turned their curious and angered gazes upon you.

Fumikage Tokoyami

“I’m curious to know how your quirk works, (L/n), but I can be patient until you are more comfortable. Come. Let us converse in private.”

You swallowed thickly, glancing around at the suddenly quiet cafeteria who watched with interest as Dark Shadow quite literally picked you up from the chair. “I-I can walk on my own, thanks.”

“Don’t want you running away so soon!” The apparition crowed loudly while leading the way out the nearby exit with Tokoyami close behind.

Sure enough he carried you the entire way until coming to a stop just outside your classroom. Every person who had been passed wore cautious expressions intermixed with curiosity. For you to be seen with anyone was a rarity but Fumikage Tokoyami to be your companion was odd indeed. Your hands hurried to smooth the wrinkles within your uniform once allowed to stand alone, bristling slightly when Dark Shadow “helped” by removing some stray lint from your hair.

“I assume this is more to your liking.”

It wasn’t a question but you nodded to answer nonetheless, earning a smile from the apparition who looked ready to pop. “You can’t tell, but he’s super stoked to finally meet you in person! I told him that he should’ve approached you ages ago but noooo he didn’t want you to be put off by his knowing you hold the top ‘Paranormal Hunter’ on SageSmoke.com! You’ve held that spot for almost an entire year now!”

Heat flared within your cheeks at Dark Shadow’s words when Tokoyami pointedly glared at his shadow. “Uh, yeah, I guess it has been about that long, huh?” You jumped when the apparition suddenly appeared inches from your face asking about which type was your favorite. “I wouldn’t say I have one but the Oni’s have always intrigued me, I guess.”

It was hard to tell but there was a glint of excitement within his vermillion eyes at your words. “Those are the spirits who respond when a flame is extinguished, yes?”

“Close, but that’s an Onryo. Oni’s react most when people are nearby and love to scare their intended victims before attacking. Points for getting the first two letters right.” Embarrassment made to make you shy away from his gaze but there was no judgement to be found within, only fascination. “Sorry, it’s not something a lot of people seem knowledgable in so it’s hard to know who shares in that field of interest.”

His head shook. “Do not apologize, for I too have noticed such things as well. It’s rare to come across another who shares interests such as this, (L/n), so please feel free to tell me if you’d rather not discuss—”

“Please stay and talk with me for at least a little longer!”

The sudden outburst earned you nods from both Dark Shadow and Tokoyami. “We’d be happy to.”

This time shyness did make you avert your gaze to the floor but it rose again when his hand gently lifted your chin to find his gaze calm and full of understanding. “The Oni…can you tell me a bit more about them?”

Blinking, you slowly came out from the protective shell that you’d built to help contain your enthusiasm for horror and ghost encounter games, occasionally answering voiced questions from the pair who intently listened as you spoke. How long the three of you spoke was a mystery until a teacher happened to walk past with a curious yet stern expression as they reprimanded the missing of important class attendance. It was as they were about to turn away that your hand lightly brushed against his own, earning a blink. “Um, I’m sorry to ask, but I’m planning on logging in tonight after school in case you wanted to play a little bit.” You retracted the extended limb in favor of using it to toy with the cross choker you wore. “If you’re feeling dangerous there’s the abandoned monastery that I was going to go check out tonight. I’d read somewhere that several reports have said sightings were increasing lately because of the stars’ alignment shifting towards Mars.”

“Will there be sage?”

“Of course.”

“What about crucifix?”

A breath slipped from between your lips in a soft sigh. “I’m not an amateur, thank you very much, and I even have a rosary blessed by the Father of Saint Joseph’s Church and nearly a gallon of holy oil that I brought back with me from Israel.” You felt a sense of pride well up when their gazes became filled with admiration. “I’ve spent a lot of time on the Dark Web too. I know things that would make the saints themselves turn over in their graves.”

Dark Shadow laughed suddenly, nearly making you question his sanity. “You had him the moment ‘abandoned monastery’ left your mouth, (L/n)! Then you went on and on about the stars and the more you talked the more his heart started to race! I’ve never seen him this excited!”

You wouldn’t have believed the apparition’s words if not for the excitement glittering within those vermillion eyes that bore into your own. A smile lifted the corners of your mouth. “It’s not virtual reality so there’s no save points or respawning if something happens. Are you sure you’re up for it? Living on the line between life and the world beyond is not for everyone.”

“If I had a mouth, I would kiss you this moment.” Even Dark Shadow seemed impressed by Tokoyami’s words as the pro hero in training hurried to scribble his phone number upon a space piece of paper before handing it to you. The honestly within his gaze was shocking to say the least as the paper was neatly slipped into your hand. “Be sure to message me what time for our excursion. I anxiously await our next meeting.” And with the subtlest of taps of his beak against your cheek, he disappeared down the hallway past the teacher whose jaw was nearly hanging open.

A blush filled your cheeks while walking through the door to your classroom, paying no mind to the questions from classmates of why you’d been out there for so long talking to Tokoyami of all people, and fondly traced the glass bead within the cross’s center that supposedly held the feather of a fallen angel. It was when the teacher had turned to face the board that your phone appeared from its pocket for the tip of a finger to dart across its screen. Not two seconds later the sponge of a ghost emoji came.

Izuku Midoriya

His gaze rose from the notebook as silence hung in the air after they’d chorused your gamer tag. Understanding filled his emerald gaze when finding your expression one of uncertainty and took hold of your hand. Without a word to his classmates, he drew you to stand and made for the nearby exit, ignoring the calls of his classmates if it meant you were spared from the confrontation. The forest haired teen didn’t stop until the two of you had reached the courtyard between the main building entrance and grounds gate where he helped you to sit beneath one of the trees. “Sorry about that,” he bowed deeply with sincerity in his voice, “you were minding your own business when we all kinda ganged up on you like that. Please forgive us!”

Still winded from running, you could barely manage to ask him how he’d found out who you were and what your quirk was in the first place.

“Oh, um, well, I play this game called Saber Slice and was playing online the other night when I noticed someone in the lobby that made me think of you. I don’t know you very well but I’ve seen you around enough that it was easy to recognize certain motions that you do.” His freckled nearly disappeared in a blush when you gaped up at him. “Not that I’m watching you like a stalker or anything, it’s just that I’ve seen you in a few extracurricular courses coaching some on fluid movements such as dodging or helping with the drama department with choreography!”

Now you were blatantly embarrassed. How had you not noticed that Izuku Midoriya from class 1A was paying special attention to someone the likes of yourself?! “I guess I should feel flattered but honestly I’m not quite sure what to think right now.”

“I’m sure you’re overwhelmed right now but I promise none of it was in malicious intent, only fascination and admiration!” His eyes began to shine brighter than stars as he sat beside you, showcasing several notes and rough sketches of several familiar motions. “You move so gracefully that it’s like watching water dance, its so amazing to watch and I can understand why you have one of the highest scoring profiles in the world on the Oculus.” Both of his hands rose. “And I don’t think of you as a cheat because of your quirk or anything, I bet its more challenging because of all the distractions you can see that no one else can once you’re in game. That must also mean your reaction time has to be pretty on point, huh?”

Blinking, you could only meet his gaze with surprised silence until finding your voice once realizing he’d asked a question. “Y-yeah, it actually is. Things are much bigger for me than for others when I’m playing and its harder to aim since they get so close.”

Sympathy filled his gaze when you mentioned suffering from motion sickness once deactivating your quirk. “I bet it gets pretty bad when you really get on a role and quit for the night. Have you tried medication to help?”

“Sure, but why go out of my way to get expensive stuff like that when ginger ale has the same affect?”

“That’s genius! I never would’ve guessed that would have similar—” he sheepishly smiled, “sorry, I get excited really easily.”

Your lips lifted into a smile. “Don’t be. It means your honest about your feelings and expressing them should never be taken for granted.” A thought occurred to you, making both of your brows slowly rise. “Wait, are you ‘ClumsyGroot217’?”

That blush returned as he nervously picked at a blade of grass. “Yeah, that’s me alright.”

“I have to say, it’s not easy earning that ‘Longest Journey’ badge. You must’ve worked really hard to get to level…”

“Twelve.” From between his lips came a laugh that made the sunlight coming through the tree’s canopy seem dull when you bit back a chuckle. “It’s okay, you can laugh, everyone in my class says that I have two left feet so it’s a bit harder for me to do the lower combos.”

A part of you wondered if he was being serious, since you’d seen him do impressive footwork whenever the news covered the pro hero course events, but you believed him fully when seeing his hesitation when you mentioned playing again with him tonight. “If you’d like, I can help you. I’m sure you’re busy with school work and such so why don’t you message me when getting online and I can join you? It’ll be a bit strange on your end but you’ll get used to it quickly as if I’m not even there. You could think of me as your own personal AI giving you tips.”

He lit up brighter than a holiday tree during the winter. “Wow, really? You’d do that for me? Thanks so much!”

You accepted the pen that was passed and quickly jotted down your number within his notebook’s cover as the bell sounded. “Guess class is starting back up and we don’t want to get in trouble with our class presidents. We should get going.”

Emerald blinked as you offered him your hand once standing. He accepted it with a smile, grunting under his breath once straightening fully, giving your hand a brief squeeze before releasing it. “I look forward to your lessons, senpai!”

“Don’t call me that,” you deadpanned with a laugh before taking the lead back inside the school building, “anything would be better than that.”

“Then how about ‘Clippy’?”

This time a laugh did sound from your lips. “Oh, my gosh, I’d almost forgotten about that little paper clip guy!”

More than just a quick few words on being Anonymous on the Internet in 2022

I’ve been known to share safety tips from time to time in the past and it’s WELL past time that I’ve done so. This time it’s something that I have to remind a lot of folks in meatspace, as part of my job is to keep people from doing stupid things with company resources in the IT space, but we’re at a point in time online that if there are enough resources to throw at finding you? You are going to be found. Most VPNs log their connections in and out. It’s disappointingly rare that you are going to find an easy and inexpensive VPN resource that is TRULY going to keep you anonymous and private. Free VPNs will flat out SELL their data to advertisers. If you are sending messages through social media ‘anonymously’, no, you are not. Your device leaves a trail that CAN and WILL be backtracked by law enforcement. The packets that carry your data, by the very NATURE of how the internet works, have to have trackable addresses, or your information will NOT get to where it needs to. The DATA inside that packet may be encrypted, but the destination and origination points can NOT be, or the internet ceases to work. Anonymous messages are logged by the servers they are sent through. Esp on services like twitter, facebook, instagram and tumblr. Your name or chosen name may not be appearing because you’re using a fake account or the ‘anonymous’ option that product provides, but their servers know exactly when and from where that message came.

Online services will and MUST, in order to comply with any laws in territories that they operate in, maintain a record of all postings made through what is called a ‘database of record’ so that if there is a complaint due to a legal incident, those posts can and will be pulled for the investigating authorities. Even if you delete them from your front end dashboard. They will ALWAYS be stored on the database.

ISPs WILL respond to legal requests to identify the owner of an IP address during any given time frame - Be it phone or pc. It may take some time to backtrack if a VPN was involved, but, as I stated above, it’s a rare thing to find a TRULY anonymous VPN that doesn’t cost. And additionally, ad-tracking methods that are used to prepare to send you ‘pertinent advertisements’ add another layer of metadata that law enforcement forensics investigations can use. It takes, on average, 3 pieces of information to narrow you down out of a few thousand others - OS, Screen resolution and browser are a commonly used set. But each of those three can be swapped out for any one of thousands of other pieces of data our technology leaks about us. These are all separate cookie pieces that can be assembled to locate anyone on the internet with just a bit of time and the proper information sets/authority and the results will be the same - You are NOT anonymous online without a MASSIVE amount of work/expenditure of energy. So, if you’re in the mood to send someone hateful messages that could be seen as containing threatening content and think you can do so with absolute impunity? You REALLY REALLY REALLY may want to double and triple think that.

Looking back on all this and thinking that I’m missing things . . . A LOT of things, but this has gotten long enough for now. I can always add more, and if anyone has any questions or suggestions for future additions, you know what to do . . .

Even KNOWING how to cover my tracks relatively well, I don’t trust that they’ll ever truly disappear from being tracked. Anyone who’s ever told you that it’s easy or they have a simple single tool/tool set that will accomplish EVERYTHING needed these days to disappear? Is either a fool, lying and hoping YOU are a fool, is trying to SELL you something, or is looking to help you get yourself in trouble. I figured with DEFCON happening in LV, it was a good time to dig into the state of current art in stealth, and while there are a LOT of tools to help? There are a LOT MORE ways for someone to be found out.

#When anonymous really isn't

Do you perhaps have anymore of that Mango adopting Yellow AU?

ah sorry for not answering for so long i was very busy-

and yeah i do! it's quite an old au i came up with when the Ravager episode came out.

in this universe, Apricot dies much, much earlier. Orange did not exist yet, but Dark with Chosen probably did.

basically, while Mango was searching for Minecraft block, he visited a PC (trust me trying to find random IP addresses + breaking the firewall + trying very hard to find the icon is actually pretty difficult the whole Mango arc plan is a lot easier) and this PC happens to be owned by the creator of Fighting Stickfigures website!

and at the time Mango sneaked on their computer they were making the stickfigures for the site.

unfortunately, the tutorial they were following uh. did not give the results they wanted...

...instead of fully grown stickfigures, they ended up with kid sticks.

well, the creator was really confused by this and the first thought that came to their head is to just delete the failed attempt and try again-

but Mango wouldn't let them do that.

he dashed to try to save at least some of the kids, the user tried very hard to get rid of the intruder and keep their creations, but they didn't succeed at either.

Mango only managed to get one of the kids - Yellow, who looked a lot like his first child. He decided to keep him.

in the meantime, RYGB's creator decided not to delete the stick kids and just let them grow up on the site.

Mango tried really hard to be a good father, but he still didn't let go of his plan to destroy Minecraft. this lead to him often not sticking for too long in the house and leaving already lonely Yellow, who was made to have 3 more people by his side always, a bit neglected.

Yellow was pretty curious of Minecraft ever since he saw Mango working on something related to it.

Mango did not let him do anything related to it though, it was too dangerous.

...eventually, though, he realized that he is so deep into his mission he barely spends time with Yellow. so he reluctantly agrees to let Yellow play around, so they can be together more.

Mango gives him a staff so he can protect himself.

of course, some time later, Mango sees the original AvM video (the only difference is that it doesn't feature Yellow because duh.), met Purple and came up with a solid plan.

(Yellow eavesdropped on the two talking once and couldn't help but feel that the names "Red", "Green" and "Blue" sounded so familiar.)

Mango decides to take Yellow with him, because he suspects that he will not be able to leave Minecraft when it starts collapsing and he wants to spend some more time with his son. Yellow becomes the Prince of the Bastion. (hey that's what the au is named after!)

Purple and Yellow develop a rivalry. Yellow is happy to finally feel like he is helping his dad and wants all the attention he can get (negative too, so he starts messing around) and thinks that Purple is getting too much of what is rightfully his and Purple just wants to get the power promised by Mango to finally prove themselves worthy to the standards their dad set for them and thinks that Yellow is a spoiled brat who doesn't do anything to deserve it.

but they also understand each other deeply. they both understand how similar they are, even if they don't want to admit it.

right before executing the plan however, Mango sends him away to the portal back home. Yellow doesn't understand what is happening and doesn't want to leave, but Mango forces him to.

...sorry for the wall of text i just. really like this au fjabfa

#animator vs animation #animation vs minecraft #alan becker #ava #avm #ava yellow #avm yellow #ava mango #avm mango #ava king #avm king #ava purple #avm purple #prince!yellow au

6, 7, 9, 15, 20?

hi Alma! Thanks for the ask <3

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

Omg that is very tough... I think I get inspired a lot by artwork of other people a lot! Like i spend a lot of time looking at art and then i notice later than I did something similar to something I saw earlier without really thinking about it! I guess when it comes to designing clothes I draw a lot of inspiration from World of Warcraft armors lmaoo

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

Animation! I cant anime for shit and I don't necessarily want to learn how to do it but I really really like the it! Like how the light works, how fluid the movements are, how much effort it takes to make everything look good etc.

9. What are your file name conventions

How to prevent Hackers from infiltrating your Network

A computer network is a group of interconnected nodes that are capable of transmitting and receive data. Nodes here are referred to as any physical device in a network that can receive data and forward information.

People often mistake computer as “just” a desktop/monitor/PC/laptop — computer is any device that can run a program, manipulate data, store information, such as a phones, cameras, tablets or smart sensors etc.

The most common types of networks are; point-to-point network, local area network (LAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), wide area network (WAN) , metropolitan area network (MAN).

The easiest kind of network to set up is the Point-to-point network. This network securely connects two nodes together using layer 2 data connection, therefore creating a closed network. Here, data travels privately and not over the public internet where data could easily be intercepted by hackers.

How can a hacker sneak into your network?

The truth is since the beginning of the internet, the issue of internet hackers cybercrime has a been a major concern for everybody from individuals to companies, business and even government organizations. With the rise in crimes committed via the internet its no surprise that business professional have to adopt a secure line of defense against hackers. The first step in preparing a secure system or network is understanding how these cybercriminals operate.

We definitely cannot evade development in technology and this means that hackers become more crafty and savvy in carrying out their attacks --on constant research to find ways to gain unauthorized access into secure networks.

Let us take a look at a few ways a hacker can get into a network;

Free software: this is perhaps on of the easiest ways for hackers to gain access into secures networks. They exploit a flaw in people --unwilling to pay for software and always looking for an alternative free software to perform the task they intend to carry out. A hacker can easily install a backdoor into a legitimate application and gain access into your networks

Phishing scams: in this kind attack, hackers target people by sending emails that may seem to come from a legitimate or trusted source. The email contains content telling victims to click an infected link that redirects them a download page to download a malware or even a login page the hacker has set up to phish for the victims details. Once this data has been handed over to the hacker, they can further infiltrate the network.

Internet protocol(IP) addresses: By using several tools and search engines to constantly scan millions of IP addresses, hackers wait until they can find a weak and vulnerable IP address they can uses to make a remote connection to a system within your homes or businesses.

Now that we know a few ways in which hackers can infiltrate networks, we can take a look at how to remain alert and a step ahead of hackers.

Staff awareness training and seminars: the most common line of defense against phishing email scams is to educate and inform employees. It should be a priority for the security team to organize seminars to educate individuals within a company on the signs to look out for and how they should respond.

Use secure passwords: We should never rely on default passwords. Most times, a hacker would try to brute force accounts using a wordlist of passwords commonly used. It is always a good idea to also regularly update passwords so as to make it more difficult for hackers to easily get access.

Reduce attack surface: attack surface refers to the entry points an unauthorized user can use to extract information or even input data. Regular scanning should be carried out to spot potential entry points. Unnecessary services and software could provide an attack surface for hackers.

Avoid free software: as tempting as it may sound, free and cracked software provides a means for hackers to gain access into your network. This software may likely open up your network, leaving you vulnerable to certain kinds of attacks.

Netflix VPN access

Title: Unlocking the World: How VPNs Enhance Netflix Viewing Experience

In recent years, Netflix has become synonymous with entertainment, offering a vast library of movies and TV shows for subscribers worldwide. However, the content available on Netflix varies depending on the user's location due to licensing agreements and regional restrictions. This has led to the rise in demand for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) as a means to bypass these limitations and access a broader range of content.

A VPN works by encrypting your internet connection and routing it through a server in a different location, effectively masking your IP address and making it appear as though you are browsing from another region. This allows users to circumvent geo-blocking restrictions imposed by streaming services like Netflix and gain access to content that may not be available in their own country.

For Netflix subscribers, using a VPN opens up a world of possibilities. By connecting to servers in countries with more extensive content libraries, users can unlock a plethora of movies and TV shows that were previously unavailable to them. Whether it's catching up on the latest Hollywood blockbusters, binge-watching popular TV series, or exploring foreign films, VPNs provide a gateway to a diverse array of entertainment options.

However, it's essential to note that while using a VPN to access Netflix content from other regions is technically possible, it may violate Netflix's terms of service. Netflix actively blocks VPN usage and employs sophisticated techniques to detect and prevent users from circumventing regional restrictions. As a result, not all VPNs are created equal, and users may encounter difficulties in finding a reliable and compatible VPN service for Netflix.

In conclusion, while VPNs offer a promising solution for accessing geo-blocked Netflix content, users should proceed with caution and be aware of the potential risks and limitations involved. By understanding the implications and choosing the right VPN provider, subscribers can enhance their Netflix viewing experience and unlock a world of entertainment possibilities.

PIA VPN compatibility

Sure, here is the article you requested:

PIA VPN, also known as Private Internet Access VPN, is a popular choice among users due to its compatibility with various devices and operating systems. Whether you are using a Windows PC, Mac, iOS, Android, or Linux device, PIA VPN offers dedicated applications that are designed to work seamlessly on each platform.

For Windows users, PIA VPN provides a user-friendly desktop application that allows for easy setup and configuration. The application offers features such as a kill switch, DNS leak protection, and multiple encryption options to ensure a secure connection while browsing the internet.

Mac users can enjoy the same level of performance and security with the PIA VPN application for macOS. The application is optimized for Mac devices and offers fast server connections, allowing users to stream content and browse the web without any lag.

If you prefer to browse securely on your mobile device, PIA VPN has dedicated applications for both iOS and Android. These applications are easy to use and offer features such as automatic WiFi protection and ad-blocking to enhance your browsing experience on the go.

For Linux users, PIA VPN provides detailed setup instructions that allow for easy configuration on various distributions. With PIA VPN, Linux users can enjoy the same level of privacy and security as users on other platforms.

Overall, PIA VPN's compatibility with a wide range of devices and operating systems makes it a versatile choice for users who want to protect their online privacy and access geo-restricted content securely.

Streaming geo-blocks bypass

Streaming geo-blocks can be a frustrating hurdle for many users looking to access their favorite content online. These restrictions are put in place by streaming platforms to adhere to licensing agreements and copyright regulations, limiting access to certain content based on the user's geographical location. However, there are ways to bypass these geo-blocks and unlock a world of entertainment.

One of the most effective methods to bypass streaming geo-blocks is by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN allows users to reroute their internet connection through servers located in different countries, thereby masking their actual location and granting access to content that may be restricted in their region. By connecting to a server in a country where the desired content is available, users can bypass geo-blocks and enjoy their favorite shows, movies, and sporting events without restrictions.

Another option is using Smart DNS services, which work similarly to VPNs but without encrypting the user's internet traffic. Instead, Smart DNS services only reroute the necessary DNS queries to trick streaming platforms into believing the user is accessing the content from an allowed location. While not as secure as VPNs, Smart DNS services are often faster and more suitable for streaming high-definition content without buffering issues.

It's important to note that bypassing geo-blocks may violate the terms of service of streaming platforms, so users should proceed with caution and be aware of the legal implications. Additionally, not all VPNs and Smart DNS services are created equal, so it's essential to choose a reputable provider with a proven track record of bypassing geo-blocks effectively.

In conclusion, while streaming geo-blocks can be a frustrating obstacle, there are solutions available to bypass them and access a wider range of content. Whether through VPNs or Smart DNS services, users can enjoy their favorite shows and movies from anywhere in the world with the right tools and precautions.

Virtual private network for Netflix

Title: Unlocking Boundless Entertainment: The Power of VPNs for Netflix

In the realm of digital entertainment, Netflix stands tall as a titan, offering a plethora of movies, TV shows, and documentaries to suit every taste. However, the content available to you on Netflix can vary greatly depending on your geographical location due to licensing agreements and regional restrictions. This is where Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) come into play, revolutionizing the way we access and enjoy streaming platforms like Netflix.

A VPN serves as a secure tunnel between your device and the internet, encrypting your data and routing it through a server in a location of your choice. By masking your IP address and spoofing your location, VPNs allow you to bypass geo-blocks and access content that may not be available in your country.

For Netflix enthusiasts, VPNs open up a world of possibilities. Whether it's unlocking a coveted series that's exclusive to another region or gaining early access to blockbuster releases, VPNs provide unparalleled freedom and flexibility. With just a few clicks, you can transcend borders and explore a vast library of content from around the globe.

Moreover, VPNs offer added layers of security and privacy, shielding your online activities from prying eyes and potential threats. This is particularly crucial when streaming on public Wi-Fi networks, where your personal information may be vulnerable to hackers and data breaches.

However, it's important to choose a reputable VPN provider that offers fast connection speeds, reliable servers, and robust encryption protocols to ensure seamless streaming and maximum privacy protection. Additionally, users should be aware of Netflix's terms of service, as the streaming giant actively blocks VPN usage and may restrict access to certain content libraries.

In conclusion, VPNs serve as indispensable tools for Netflix aficionados, empowering them to transcend borders and unlock a world of entertainment at their fingertips. By harnessing the power of VPN technology, users can enjoy seamless streaming, enhanced privacy, and unparalleled access to their favorite shows and movies, regardless of where they are in the world.

Using VPN with Netflix

Title: Unlocking Boundless Entertainment: Navigating Netflix with VPN

In the era of digital streaming, Netflix stands as a titan, offering a vast array of movies, TV shows, and documentaries. However, what you might not know is that your access to this treasure trove can vary depending on your geographical location. This is where a Virtual Private Network (VPN) comes into play, offering a solution to bypass these regional restrictions and unlock a world of entertainment.

By using a VPN with Netflix, you can mask your actual location and appear to be browsing from a different country. This allows you to access Netflix libraries from around the globe, each offering its unique selection of content. For instance, if a particular movie or TV show is unavailable in your country due to licensing agreements, you can simply connect to a VPN server in a region where it is accessible, and voilà – it's available for streaming.

However, it's crucial to choose a reliable VPN service that is compatible with Netflix. Not all VPNs can effectively bypass Netflix's detection mechanisms, and using an unreliable one may result in being unable to access the desired content or experiencing buffering issues.

Additionally, while using a VPN with Netflix can broaden your entertainment options, it's essential to be aware of the legalities surrounding this practice. While VPNs themselves are legal in most countries, accessing copyrighted content that is not licensed for your region may infringe upon copyright laws.

In conclusion, leveraging a VPN with Netflix can significantly enhance your streaming experience by granting access to a vast library of content from across the globe. However, it's essential to choose a reputable VPN provider and be mindful of the legal implications associated with accessing region-restricted content. So, sit back, grab your popcorn, and let the binge-watching begin – wherever you are in the world.

can you unlock a game early on steam with vpn

VPN for unlocking games early on Steam

A VPN can be an effective tool for unlocking games early on Steam. Steam, one of the most popular digital distribution platforms for PC gaming, often releases games at different times based on regions. This means that some gamers may have to wait hours or even days before they can access a highly anticipated game.

By using a VPN, gamers can bypass these regional restrictions and unlock games early on Steam. A VPN works by routing your internet connection through a server in a different location, effectively masking your real IP address and making it appear as though you are accessing Steam from a different region where the game has already been released.

To use a VPN for unlocking games early on Steam, gamers simply need to connect to a server in a region where the game has already launched. This tricks Steam into thinking that the player is located in that region, allowing them to access the game ahead of schedule.

It is important to note that using a VPN to unlock games early on Steam may go against Steam's terms of service, so gamers should proceed with caution and at their own risk. Additionally, the speed and stability of the VPN connection can impact the gaming experience, so choosing a reliable VPN provider with fast servers is crucial.

In conclusion, while using a VPN to unlock games early on Steam is possible, gamers should be aware of the risks involved and use this method responsibly. By understanding how VPNs work and selecting the right provider, gamers can potentially gain early access to their favorite games on Steam.

Steam game release date bypass with VPN

Title: How to Bypass Steam Game Release Dates Using a VPN

Are you eagerly awaiting the release of a new game on Steam, only to find out it's available in other regions before your own? Frustrating, isn't it? But fear not, because with the power of a Virtual Private Network (VPN), you can bypass these release date restrictions and start playing your favorite games ahead of schedule.

Here's how it works:

Choose a Reliable VPN: First, you'll need to select a reputable VPN service provider. Look for one with servers in multiple countries to ensure you have options when it comes to accessing different regions on Steam.

Connect to a Server in a Different Region: After installing the VPN, launch the application and connect to a server located in a country where the game has already been released. For example, if the game is available in Australia but not yet in your region, connect to an Australian server.

Launch Steam: With the VPN connected to a server in the desired region, open Steam. The platform will now recognize your connection as originating from that region, allowing you to access games that have already been released there.

Purchase and Play the Game: Once you've accessed the game's store page on Steam, you can proceed to purchase and download it as you normally would. You'll now be able to play the game ahead of its official release date in your region.

It's important to note that while using a VPN to bypass Steam release dates isn't explicitly prohibited, it may go against Steam's terms of service. Therefore, proceed at your own risk and be aware of the potential consequences.

In conclusion, by leveraging a VPN, you can circumvent Steam's regional restrictions and enjoy playing newly released games without having to wait for them to become available in your area.

Using VPN to access games early on Steam

Using a VPN to access games early on Steam can be a smart strategy for gamers who can't wait to get their hands on the latest releases. Steam, one of the most popular digital distribution platforms for PC gaming, often stagger release dates for different regions. This means that a game may be available in one country before it is released in another.

By using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), gamers can bypass these regional restrictions and access games early on Steam. A VPN allows users to connect to servers in different locations around the world, making it appear as though they are accessing Steam from a different country. This can give them access to games that may not be available in their own region yet.

However, it's important to note that using a VPN to access games early on Steam may violate Steam's terms of service. While many users do use VPNs for this purpose without any issues, there is a risk that Steam could take action against accounts that are found to be using VPNs to circumvent regional restrictions.

In conclusion, while using a VPN to access games early on Steam can be a tempting option for avid gamers, it's essential to proceed with caution and be aware of the potential risks involved. By weighing the benefits against the potential consequences, gamers can make an informed decision about whether or not to use a VPN to access games early on Steam.

Early access to Steam games with VPN

Gaming enthusiasts are always eager to get their hands on the latest releases as soon as possible. Steam, a popular digital distribution platform, offers early access to certain games for those who pre-order or participate in beta testing. However, regional restrictions often prevent users from accessing these early releases. This is where a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be a valuable tool for gamers.

By using a VPN, players can bypass geo-restrictions and access Steam games that are not yet available in their region. VPNs mask the user's IP address, making it appear as though they are accessing Steam from a different location where the game may already be released. This allows gamers to take advantage of early access benefits and enjoy playing new titles before they are officially launched in their area.

In addition to accessing early releases, using a VPN for Steam games can also enhance security and privacy. VPNs encrypt internet traffic, protecting users from potential cyber threats while gaming online. This added layer of security can help prevent DDoS attacks and protect sensitive personal information from being exposed.

Overall, leveraging a VPN for early access to Steam games offers gamers a range of benefits, from bypassing regional restrictions to enhancing online security. By utilizing this technology, players can immerse themselves in the latest gaming experiences and stay one step ahead in the competitive world of online gaming.

Unlocking games ahead of time on Steam using VPN

Steam, the leading digital distribution platform for PC gaming, often releases highly anticipated games at different times across regions. This can be frustrating for gamers eagerly awaiting their favorite titles. However, one workaround that some users employ is utilizing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to unlock games ahead of their official release time in their region.

A VPN allows users to connect to servers located in different countries, thereby masking their actual location and granting access to content restricted to those regions. By connecting to a server in a region where the game has already been released, gamers can trick Steam into thinking they are located there and gain early access to the title.

Here’s how it works:

Select a reliable VPN service: Choose a VPN provider with servers strategically located in regions where the game is set to release earlier than in your location.

Install and configure the VPN: After subscribing to a VPN service, download and install the VPN client on your device. Follow the instructions to set up the VPN and connect to a server in the desired region.

Launch Steam and unlock the game: Once connected to the VPN server, launch the Steam client and navigate to the game you wish to unlock. Steam will recognize your connection as originating from the chosen region and allow you to access and download the game ahead of time.

It’s important to note that while using a VPN to unlock games early is technically possible, it may violate Steam’s terms of service. Additionally, the effectiveness of this method can vary, and there may be risks associated with using VPN services, such as potential security and privacy concerns.

In conclusion, while using a VPN to unlock games ahead of time on Steam may provide a temporary solution for eager gamers, it’s essential to proceed with caution and consider the potential consequences before doing so.

First post! | Tryhackme "Blue". | EternalBlue

Hello friends, for my first writeup I have decided to complete the "Blue" room from Tryhackme.

This room covers basic reconnaissance and compromising a Windows 7 machine that is vulnerable to Eternalblue (MS17-010 / CVE-2017-0144). Eternalblue is a vulnerability in Microsofts implementation of Server Message Block (SMB) version 1, the exploit utilises a buffer overflow to allow the execution of remote code.

To begin with we will perform a scan of the machine to get an idea of what ports are open and also the target OS.

We know the machines IP is 10.10.7.17 which is all the information we have to work off, with the exception of information provided by the lab.

We will start with a Nmap scan using the following command "sudo nmap 10.10.7.17 -A -sC -sV", the break down of this command is as follows; -A specifies OS detection, version detection, script scanning, and traceroute which provides us more information from the scan. -sC runs default scripts from nmap which can give us more insight depending on the scripts that run. -sV will provide us the version numbers of any software running on the port which is important for us, as we may be able to identify vulnerable versions of software and get an idea of how frequently the device is updated and maintained.

Our scan has come back and we can see the target device is running Windows 7 Professional service pack 1 (which means it should be vulnerable to Eternalblue which we will confirm shortly) we also get a lot more information about the target.

From our initial scan we now have the following information;

Operating system and version (Win 7 Pro SP1) Hostname is Jon-PC Device is in a workgroup and not a domain Ports 135,139,445,3389 are open.

Of interest to us currently is ports 445 and 3389. 445 is SMB which is what Eternalblue targets and 3389 which is Remote Desktop Protocol which allows remote connection and control on a Windows device.

With this being an easy room with a known exploit lets move on to gaining access to the machine, first we will start up Metasploit which is a framework that contains modules which we can use to interact with and eventually gain control of our target device using.

Metasploit has a built in search function, using this I have searched for Eternalblue and loaded the first result (exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue).

With the exploit selected I now open up the options for the payload and module and configure the following;

RHOSTS (remote host / target) RPORT (remote port, automatically filled with 445 as this is an SMB exploit) VERIFY_TARGET (doesn`t need to be configured but by default it is enabled, this will check if the target is vulnerable before commiting the exploit) LPORT (local port to use on my machine) LHOST (local address or interface) in my case I will set this to the tun0 interface on my machine as I am connected over a VPN, as identified by running "ifconfig".

The only change I make is to set the payload to payload/windows/shell_reverse_tcp to provide a non-meterpreter reverse shell as I find this gives me better results.

With these set we run the exploit and after less than a minute I get a success message and a reverse shell, as we can see our terminal is now displaying "C:\Windows\system32" and running a "whoami" command it returns "nt authority\system".

We now have a reverse shell on the target with the highest permissions possible as we are running as the system, from here we can move around the system and gather the "flags" for the lab and complete the rest of the questions so lets do that!

First of we need to upgrade our shell to a meterpreter shell, we will background our current shell with ctrl+z and make a note of the session number which is 6 (we`ll need this later).

To upgrade our shell we will need another module from metasploit, in this case a "post" module. These are post exploitation modules to help with various tasks, in our case we want to upgrade our regular reverse shell to a meterpreter shell which will provide us more options, some are shown below to give you an idea!

The module for this is post/multi/manage/shell_to_meterpreter

The only option we need to set is the session number of our existing shell, which was 6, once we run this we can confirm that our meterpreter shell is now created by running "sessions" which will list our current sessions.

From here we can run "sessions -i 7" to swap to session 7 in our terminal. Now we are in our meterpreter shell, we can use "help" to list what extra commands we have, but more importantly we need to migrate our shell to a stable process with system privileges still. We will list all running proccesses using the "ps" command, identify a process such as "spoolsv.exe". We will migrate to this using its Process ID, so we will enter "migrate 1224" to migrate to this process.

Next we need to dump the SAM database which will provide us all the hashed passwords on the computer so we can crack them.

We will use the convenient command "hashdump" from our meterpreter shell to achieve this for us, this provides us the following password hashes;

Administrator:500:aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0::: Guest:501:aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0::: Jon:1000:aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:ffb43f0de35be4d9917ac0cc8ad57f8d:::

The question wants us to crack the password for Jon, for ease of use and to keep this writeup on the short side we will use crackstation.net, we take the last part of the Jon hash "ffb43f0de35be4d9917ac0cc8ad57f8d" and enter it into the website, this will match the hash against a database as this is a weak password, the password is "alqfna22" and we can see it is in the NTLM format which is expected from a Windows system.

We could have used Hashcat or John the Ripper to crack the password, which we will do in the future as this website can only manage a few hash types.

The final step is finding the flags to complete the lab so we will hunt these down, however with this being a writeup I will obfuscate the flags.

The first is at C:\ and is "flag{********_the_machine}".

The second is where the SAM database resides C:\Windows\system32\config and is "flag{*******_database_elevated_access}".

The third is a good place to check for valuable information, which is user directorieis especially if they hold a technical position or a elevated position at the target site. The flag is located in C:\Users\Jon\Documents and is "flag{admin_****_can_be_valuable}".

I hope you found this helpful or interesting at least! I aim to upload writeups slowly as I get myself back into the swing of things again!

Until next time

Lilith
