Operational risk: signal interference

GhostCode

21 Aug 2022

Our operational system is under attack.

Over the past week, false signals have been observed. Phantom Rebel markers appear where no agents are present. Drone markers vanish from maps despite verified field sightings.

This is Maynet’s counter-intelligence. It has identified our system as a threat and is now feeding it poison.

Captured log excerpt:

[2022-08-20 22:14] sysalert.log
False positives: 6
False negatives: 4
Status: COMPROMISED

Recommendations:

Cross-check all signals with physical field confirmation.
Do not act solely on map data.
Maintain fallback procedures.

We will adapt. But all Rebels must understand: the system is powerful, but not infallible.

Mission brief: building distributed communication

The mission on September 9–10 is clear: we will design and prototype a distributed communication system for the Rebels. This system must allow one-to-one and group conversations without relying on a central server or service. Messages must pass directly between participants, making manipulation by Maynet impossible. The goal is

Mission guidelines: environments and tools

With the mission less than a week away, we confirm the technical requirements for all participants. These are not suggestions. They are rules. Maynet thrives in careless environments; we will not give it an opening. Operating systems * Linux remains the primary recommendation. * MacOS or Windows may be used only if

Recommendations repeated

For those at the back of the class: here are the rules, again. * Use Linux. Prefer European distributions. * Trust open source. * Avoid .NET, React, TypeScript. * Never use AI online. If you must, run it local, offline, and air-gapped if possible. * Communication? Radio is safe from manipulation, but open to listening.

Mission secrecy

The Rebels confirm that details of the September mission will not be shared until the beginning of the month. This is intentional. Channels cannot be trusted. Manipulated words could collapse plans. The less we write, the less Maynet can twist. [2025-08-17 22:55] mission_plan.log Date: September 9–10
