OTP questions for Bandit and Ghost
Who likes to go on drives to nowhere in particular
Bandit is the one who suggests it more often but they both enjoy it
Who is in charge of the radio or playlist in the car (and what do they play)?
Ghost, no questions asked. He usually puts on those low-fi styled songs as they fit well with late night long drives
Who reaches over to hold the other’s hand
Bandit
Who is more likely to hog the bed
Probably bandit since he’s bigger than Ghost and Ghost sleeps curled up tightly, but they both sleep clinging to each other
Who likes to drink their coffee or tea outside in the mornings
Bandit, cup of black coffee and cigarette is his favourite way to start the day
Who reads the paper or watches the news
Ghost watches the news when it’s on
Who comes home with the weirder work stories
Well they have the same job so they would both have weird work stories, the one that got the best laugh was when Ghost told Bandit about a bomber that was charging down a corridor towards him but tripped and landed on the detonator before they even got close to Ethan. Dominic immediately demanded to see the body cam footage after he calmed down enough to speak
Who takes long baths
Bandit, Ghost would sit on the floor next to the bath and keep him company, run his fingers through Dominic’s hair or hold his hand, since this only really happens when Bandit is having a bad day
Who gives the other a massage when they seem tense
Bandit, Ghost has no idea how to give a massage
Who prefers to kick back with a drink in the evenings
This is like their perfect evening, a good film and some beers in Ethan’s room.
Who stays up too late reading
Ghost, this boy is constantly re-reading the a song of ice and fire series
Who is the deep sleeper
Neither, unless one has taken sleeping tablets they are both very light sleepers
Who is the one who likes to cuddle?
They both do but if it was an option Ethan would cuddle with Dom 24/7
Who has awful taste in music?
Some of the songs Ethan likes are ‘questionable’
Who is the meme lover?
GHOST, but Bandit likes memes as well
How did their second date go?
They’re not the type of people to go on dates so it was probably just going to see a film then getting chippy on the way back to base. They had a good time.
Who hides the weapons?
I’m gonna say Ghost’s knife collection counts so, Ethan
What do their parents think of them dating?
Thatcher was cautious at first, Ethan had been taken advantage of many times in the past and his own failed marriage left him with a cynical view on relationships, but he mostly just kept an eye on them from the side-lines never really confronting Bandit about it. He eventually chilled out when he realised how happy Dominic made Ethan. Bandit hasn’t had contact with any of his family in years so who knows what they would think.
Are they a super sappy couple?
In public? no but when they’re alone they can be pretty sappy
Who stays up too late and makes stupid jokes?
Bandit 100%, once Dominic gets in one of those moods its guaranteed Ethan is getting very little sleep. No matter how hard he tries Ghost ends up laughing his head off even though he’s exhausted and just wants to sleep
Who is the nerd?
Ghost
Who knows the most obscure facts?
Ghost and he loves bothering Bandit with them at 3 in the morning (probably as retaliation for the stupid jokes that kept him awake the other night)
Who makes the other a flower crown?
Ghost, he would probably near die laughing at Dominic’s ‘so done with your shit’ face when he forces it onto his head.
“but Dom you look like a pretty little princess”
cuts to Bandit’s deadpanned face 
Who likes to read?
Ghost, Dom prefers it when Ethan reads out loud to him when they’re laying in bed at the end of a long day
Do they have similar taste in movies?
Somewhat, they both love the classic greats like The Matrix but when it comes to genres Ethan prefers horror while Bandit prefers comedies
Who has better fashion sense?
Ghost but not by much, Bandit just sticks to the ripped jeans and hoodies with that signature jacket while Ethan has a little bit more variation but not much
Who will punch someone out if they are rude to their partner?
They would both get aggressive, Bandit would be the punching one where as Ghost would pull out a switchblade, Ethan needs to work more on his reactions to anger. The rest of the team are more likely to interfere with Ghost than with Bandit for obvious reasons.
Who likes to prank the other?
Dominic ‘Bandit’ Brunsmeier, Ghost tries to prank him back but just can’t Dom is the king of pranks
Who is the one who loves to take pictures?
Ghost, the gallery on his phone is filled with memes and pictures of Bandit or his dogs. Bonus points is a picture of Dominic with the dogs
How would they react if they found out they were soul mates?
They’d make jokes about it and call it cringy but both of them would kinda be overwhelmed with the whole concept of it
What would they dress up as, for Halloween?
They wouldn’t dress up for Halloween although there were two occasions in which they did.
The first was when they bought a ghost face mask, one of them would wear the mask and hide in a cupboard or behind a door and the other would pretend to be on their phone in the room but was secretly filming it, some of the best victims to this were Rook, Castle, Mira, Thermite, Blackbeard, Ying and Harry.

Original Post from Rapid7 Author: Josh Frantz
When you have old computers, flash drives, phones, or hard drives that you no longer use, you might take them to a resale shop, thrift store, or recycling center. However, have you ever wondered what happens to these devices and the data within them? Does your data get destroyed, or are your items resold with all your memories and personal data perfectly packaged up for the new owner to access? And, if that data is still available, what happens when someone like me starts shopping at all the thrift stores and resale shops in my area with the sole purpose of seeing how much personal data I can get my hands on?
To find out, I spent six months extracting all the data I could from devices available at businesses that sell refurbished computers or accept donated items to sell after supposedly wiping them. By the end of this experiment, this research revealed that many businesses do not follow through on their guarantee to wipe the data from the devices people hand over to them.
Let’s take a look at how I conducted this experiment, the types of data I discovered, and some methods to ensure all data is safely removed from all your old devices before they leave your possession.
The process
My first step was probably the least interesting part of this experiment: I researched all the businesses that sold refurbished, donated, or used computers around my home in Wisconsin. I visited a total of 31 businesses and bought whatever I could get my hands on for a grand total of around $600. Here is a breakdown of all the devices I purchased:
Device Type Number of Devices Bought Desktop or laptop computer 41 Removable media (such as flash drives and memory cards) 27 Hard disk 11 Cell phone 6
After buying the devices, I took them to my command center (a cool name for my basement) and began the data extraction process. Whenever I brought a computer back, I booted it up to see whether it was bootable and whether it required a password to log in. I wrote a script in PowerShell that would run through and index all the images, documents, saved emails, and conversation histories through instant messengers. It would then zip it up nice and organized on the desktop, and I would pull it off with a USB drive (I know, you were expecting something much fancier). Only one Dell laptop had been erased properly.
With hard disks, most of them were IDE, so I used this IDE toaster to quickly download everything I could—this time, using a Python script to go through all the data and organize it. What I found was that none of the drives were encrypted, and all seemed to function properly (with the exception of one old Hitachi 20GB hard drive that had been wiped).
The cell phones I bought were very old and required three proprietary chargers I had to buy on eBay, putting my total cost around $650 (without factoring in gas, coffee, or my family’s road trip misery). The cell phones didn’t require PINs, and for a few of them, I couldn’t find software to interface with my computer to pull anything off.
I simply plugged in flash drives and memory cards and used that Python script again to organize the data.
Overall, what I found was astounding: Out of the 85 devices I purchased, only two (the Dell laptop and Hitachi hard drive) were erased properly. Additionally, only three of the devices were encrypted.
The data
Armed with a bunch of data and a basement littered with technology older than myself, I developed a plan to sift through all this data for potentially private information. I used pyocr to try to identify Social Security numbers, dates of birth, credit card numbers, and phone numbers on images and PDFs. I then used PowerShell to go through all documents, emails, and text files for the same information. You can find the regular expressions I used to identify the personal information here.
Despite the fact that OCR is not 100% accurate and there could have been data I couldn’t extract from images by themselves or within PDFs, I can verify that the regular expressions used for Social Security numbers, credit cards, dates of birth, and driver’s license numbers were fairly comprehensive.
Below are the final counts on processed data (not including several instances of MSN/AIM conversation history) and which file formats were used to calculate this. I also excluded a few file extensions (such as XML, HTML, and CSS) for brevity and relevance.
Images (JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, PNG, BPG, SVG) Documents (DOC, DOCX, PDF, CSV, TXT, RTF, ODT) Emails (PST, MSG, DBX, EMLX) 214,019 3,406 148,903
As you can see, many files were found. The best (or worst) part about this is that I extracted a lot of personally identifiable information (PII). Here is the breakdown of unique values for every set:
Type of PII Unique Value Email address 611 Date of birth 50 SSN 41 Credit card number 19 Driver’s license number 6 Passport number 2
Surprisingly, most of the credit card numbers were from scans or images of the front and/or back of the card. The two passport numbers were also scanned into the computer.
The price
Researching further, I realized just how cheap it is to buy people’s information on the Darknet. Social Security numbers only fetch around $1 apiece, while full documents (dox) fetch around $3 each. No matter how we calculate the value of the data gathered, we would never recoup our initial investment of around $600.
This raises a fascinating point: Data leakage/extraction is so common that it has driven down the cost of the data itself. I saw several dumps of Social Security numbers on the Darknet for even less than $1 each.
How to safely dispose of your technology
When donating or selling your technology, you should be sure to wipe it yourself rather than relying on the seller to do it for you. There are several great guides available for wiping your computers, phones, and tablets, so we won’t dive too deep into that topic here.
However, if you are planning on recycling your technology, the following are some ways to make sure your data is irretrievable by destroying the device (or storage disk) irrevocably:
Hammer
Incineration (be careful of toxic by-products)
Industrial shredding
Drill/drill press
Acid
Electrolysis
Microwaves
Thermite
If using any of these methods, you’re going to need to secure your location and wear reasonable safety gear (at a minimum, appropriate goggles and gloves). Once your safety situation is handled, secure destruction can be loads of fun.
Below is one video that shows how to use thermite to destroy a desktop PC:
Realistically, unless you physically destroy a device, forensic experts can potentially extract data from it. If you’re worried about potential data exfiltration, it’s best to err on the side of caution and destroy it. However, wiping your device is usually enough, and can be a very easy and relatively painless process using the guides above.
All kidding aside, if you’re looking to wipe a hard disk drive, DBAN is your best option, and there is a very handy guide here on how to do that. Please note that this will not work for solid-state drives for RAID arrays. If you’re looking to wipe solid-state drives or multiple disks in a RAID, PartedMagic works really well, and there is an easy-to-follow guide here.
In conclusion
If you’re worried about your data ending up in the wrong person’s hands, destroy the data. If you wish to do a good deed and donate your technology so others can benefit, make sure it’s at least wiped to an acceptable standard. Even if you get it in writing that your data will be erased, there’s no good way to know whether that’s actually true unless you perform the wipe yourself. If this research was any indication, it likely isn’t being wiped in a reasonably secure way.
Thanks for reading, and be sure to leave any feedback below in the comments!

Researchers Develop Ultra Strong Concrete That Can Withstand a Magnitude 9 Earthquake
University of British Columbia (UBC) researchers have developed an eco-friendly concrete that can be sprayed onto the exterior of buildings to make them as strong as steel and capable of withstanding many unforeseen disasters. Called Eco-friendly Ductile Cementitious Composite (EDCC), it's mainly comprised of an industrial by-product called fly ash, which makes it durable, malleable and much more ductile than normal concrete. The research team sprayed EDCC on concrete block walls one-half inch thick, and then simulated a magnitude 9 earthquake. "The results of these tests have been amazing. We can shake the wall extensively without it failing," said UBC engineering Ph.D. candidate Salman Soleimani-Dashtaki. Click here to view the first image in today's viral picture gallery. Continue reading for the five most popular viral videos today, including one of the backyard scientist making a sword with thermite.

I jumped off a bridge today…….ok no really I just joined a forum but sometimes it feels like it.
I have been lurking Bushcraftusa.com for a while now and finally took the time to join and introduce myself. I took up their challenge and started BushClass USA. Has given me a chance to go back and work on some of my base skills like feather sticks and sparking fire with ferro rods and things you find in your house. It was cool enough outside for me to use the woodstove so I had some indoor play time. :D
I had to catch a spark in three man made tinders. For this I chose char-cloth, dryer lint, some fluffed up cotton wicking, steel wool, and some homemade thermite for fun. The next task was to fill a hat with good shavings and make some fuzz sticks. After accomplishing all of this it seemed like a good idea to use all this in the stove and get a fire going. Being a curios one I think I will char some house hold trash in search of something I can use instead f cotton.
