I'm not worried about government tracking. I'm worried about releasing my personal information on the web. Anyone who is online can get access to your personal profile and read your details.Quote:
I'm not worried about Gov't tracking, since it's really a moot point.
anyone who knows your (real world) address could find out everything about you, and here your only giving general info, or specific info that applies to so many, that there's not much to worry about there. If you're worried about your ip address being tracked, use some proxies and such.
hehe...if you're really worried about your personal details being posted on the net, try going to Google and doing a search on just your phone number (in the standard xxx-nnn-pppp form)...
Just using this post as an example.
Listen to urselves. . . talking about "personal information." Good God. Think about who is running this! ! ! DOD! ! The GOVERNMENT! ! THEY know ALL of ur "personal information" already! Whats so personal about knowing what kind of system u run? or ur skill sets? If you want to participate. . . stop whineing about "Personal Information" and sign up!Quote:
By making the first phase invitation only a lot of people are relunctant to particapte because they have to release their personal information. This means that only people who agree to provide their personal information will be allowed to try and crack the wargames box, since you have to have permission to participate. Am I right assuming this?
Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. ;)
Let the games begin.
Greetings All:
I agree with RogueSpy. The "personal information" that we are talking about is only what type of computer you have, what operating systems you know how to run, and the most personal: have you ever worked in the private sector, government, education, etc. I mean, it's not like we're asking for your social security and credit card numbers, current address, previous 3 addresses, etc. etc. If you are THAT privacy conscious, then by all means, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't sign up, because I don't want to have to deal with you!
I agree with JP, what the hell is up your peoples asses????? excuse my language...... i mean all it is is a little bit of info to let people know what kind of experience you have.... and its OPTIONAL!!! If you dont wanna put it in, dont, and dont apply, its really not that big of a deal!
I think it's kewl, JP's got me worked up w/ the whole largest wargame yet thingie, wahoo, lots to play in. The only legalities I can think of might be w/ yer ISP gettin' jiggy if you try to run some of the canned stuff, they might have some sniffin' goin' on and ban yer tooshie, if you go nutz w/ a scanner.
I'm one of those people that registred with a .mil e-mail address *gasp* ;)Quote:

We have over 80,000 registered members. Over 1,000 of those registered with .mil e-mail addresses, and nearly as many with .gov Yes, many of the people that post here, and that have very high AntiPoint levels, are from military organizations, or their civilian counterparts. All sectors of our society need to be aware of security issues, and that certainly includes governments. These members are administrators just like many of you are, the only difference, is who their employers are. Hardly anything to get nervous about.
Really, honestly, the average military personel isn't much different from a civilian (we just went through lots of military training)...most of us don't even know what 'big brother' is up to (even most of the officers)....
I'm wandering who exactly will run the box (AO team, JP, or maybe a government agent of some sort?) and exactly what OS it will run-I'm guessing some distro of Linux (RH, Slackware, Debian, Mandrake, Suse, etc?)
I think Jp said in one of his threads that the actual network is going to be housed w/in AO territory, as far as the software it's running, I don't think he should tell, that's half the fun of it.
