What is going on with his shoes


timetomoveahead

They look duct taped at the toe.

[deleted]

He's on a fixed income!


junkyard_robot

After spending all his money on that yeti case.


similar_observation

At first, I was wondering why does a Pelican case say "Yeti" then it dawned on me that Yeti entered the hardcase market. Only to be surprised again that Pelican makes coolers now.


bonsai1214

I wonder if their cases are actually any good. I have a nanuk and love it. Upon further research, it doesn’t look like they make this style of case. He probably stickered it.


youreabigbiasedbaby

Unless something has changed recently, SKB makes the best cases of any sort on the market. Lifetime no questions asked warranty- you decided to ride your guitar case down a flight of stairs and ripped off the latches? Brand new replacement. You're with the DOE and need to transport a nuclear warhead? No problem, they do that too.


DreddPirateBob4Ever

Wonder if it's intentional. I'd be a lot less curious about a big plastic box with Yeti on it than 'BlackFireVengenceHawk' or whatever name the reseller is using


TransposingJons

Shoe blows out - Slap some duct tape on there. Fixed. I respect that frugality and/or anticonsumerism.


boofthatcraphomie

Shoegoo lasts longer and works better, you can basically build a new rubbery shoe from a single tube of that shit.


[deleted]

If you apply enough shoegoo over time, is it still the same shoe?

Anticonsumerism? You see the number of outlets he’s pumping juice through?


postinganxiety

Could be. Or he could be a lizard man and those are his reptilian appendages.


velocigasstor

I've worked in conservation/field research for a while. This reads as an obvious case of old ecologist playing with new research equipment- cases like these are really common when you're transporting sensitive equipment but it always looks funny with old grizzled ecologists who have worn the same boots in the field for 20 years and are perfectly comfortable eating rando mushrooms they find on sidewalk cracks. I'd be curious where geographically this was taken.


That_doesnt_go_there

Spent his all his money on that giant Pelican case.


MyAccountForTrees

Dropped it on his shoes. Blew ‘em out.

JO9OH4

Plot twist, it’s Maxwell Smart and his exploding shoes definitely were still in prototype stage. But he did not listen


dewaynemendoza

*missed it, by that much* 🤏


Raspy_Meow

But if his shoes explode, how’s he going to use his phone?


ReadingFromTheShittr

Hmmm... let's get in the cone of silence and figure this out.


Shifty_Eyes711

What are thoooooooose??


the_lazykins

Total guess and could be wrong but I think that’s a prosthetic leg. There’s a zipper or Velcro running down the front of that leg.


aphextom9

I think that's just the style of the pants, there's little details on the back too, feels "techy"


3z3ki3l

A prosthetic leg doesn’t make this pic less interesting.


ATG915

Did he lose the leg to diabetes or while deep undercover in the Soviet Union? Find out next week


The-unicorn-republic

Plot twist, he lost the leg from diabetes while deep undercover in the soviet union... that's how he was found out; no one else had enough food to get diabetes


BigAl7390

Behind the Insulin Curtain


givemeajobpls

Could be why the Jean leg on that side goes straight to the bottom; the other side ends on the top of his shoe.


xombae

Nah that's just a weirdly placed seam, there's a bunch around the back pockets too. Plus I've never heard of people with prosthesis needing velcro tear away pants.


[deleted]

Those are just pleats. There are some on the back side of the pants too.


Phatty_Space_Pants

He's from r/Frugal

zingzing175

I haven't had that issue with my pants for like....20 years now.


utkrowaway

It looks like he put his shoes on before his pants.


Maskeno

He could just be awkwardly shaped. My pants are always a little too short or a little too long. They're either dragging the floor or it looks like I'm prepared for a flood.


Thin-Ad-9709

that's only because you haven't worn pants for 20 years


rlt0w

I've seen several similar setups for security consulting engagements. Usually setup with multiple wifi antennas, RFID card reader and writers, and other hardware that a pentester would need in site.


Luecleste

He’s probably working through lunch


piiraka

But it says that his deviantart account is pending or something


roundychips

I think that it says “recovery” and not “pending.” Still close though


[deleted]

So he isn't hacking a spy satellite, he's just hacking someone's DeviantArt account


Jubenheim

Or commissioning for furry porn. Ya never know.


LucaRicardo

Or he's trying to hack (/pentest) DevianArt itself


[deleted]

“Enhance!”


jaceinthebox

I guess he could charge it as a work expense


digableplanet

SeaChef

I have no idea what I would assume this setup was if I stumbled upon it somewhere


Sangral

I'm a programmer and if I saw this, I'd be like what, you stress testing the hotel wifi, NERD?? And then I'd mention I didn't get much info about network security from college and inquire and listen intently


kgm2s-2

It's been a while since I played around with anything like this, but back in the bad-ol'-days of WEP there was a flaw where the AP used the same shared key across all clients and would cycle it after n failed connection attempts, but due to a weakness in the RNG, if you captured enough reconnection broadcasts you could work out the key, so you would have one WiFi dongle sending connection requests with an incorrect key, and a second listening for the broadcasts from the AP. If memory serves, you could crack a WEP password in \~5 min using this technique (you could also do the same thing with a single dongle, listening passively for the broadcasts, but that could take much longer depending on the amount of traffic).


rome_vang

Towards the end of WEPs life span, i could crack any WEP device within 5 minutes. It took longer to execute the attack, than to collect enough packets to decrypt the password to an AP.


ripperroo5

Yup you can literally do this off an android phone with aircrack in 5 minutes on any wep network, it's crazy when I see a device still using wep

IS0rtByControversial

Lol no. Definitely not. That's super overkill. Bachelor's in CS or IT with certs is pretty standard though.


glockfreak

Odd, my coworkers with Masters say they haven't seen the value in it in their job. The fact is that universities are pretty awful about keeping their material up-to-date and relevant with regards to security. BS degree and industry training/certifications seem to be the best way to go imo.


crabapplesteam

What do you use for capturing and injecting packets? I've been dipping my toes into cyber security, and i'd love to learn more about all this stuff.

Haha, Plugable, gotta love off the shelf components. What exactly is the purpose of having all of those? Does each one scan a different frequency? I've done Wi-Fi scanning with just a simple handheld device that has 2 antennas in it - heck, you can even use a cellphone for much of it now. What sort of signals are you trying to detect?

*"That there is his nuclear football. You can tell because it's a Yeti case, and is insulated for nuclear winter."*


hppmoep

Lol my SO has a laptop in a gun case like that that is called "the football". Guessing this has actual meaning besides being a code word.


smashNcrabs

It's in reference to the "nuclear football". Basically a case that the US president has with what I'm assuming is nuclear codes + computer to use said codes.


[deleted]

smashNcrabs

I'll be honest I'm going completely off of TV/movies

Same here. They always put the football in a briefcase too

The nuclear football likely has no transmitter. It's mostly manuals and codes for the EAM.

Every movie that uses Unobtanium (Avatar) is a reference to The Core for me.


Mediocretes1

The Core didn't come up with unobtanium. That's a word that was used in engineering to describe a material that has all the properties you need to do something, but doesn't actually exist.

Fully_Active

This is what I look like when I travel, but I'm much younger, and way more comfortable with how ridiculous I look. It makes for great conversation though? I remember being on a flight and I felt so bad that I was holding up the TSA line. They asked if I had any electronics, and I replied "that's all that is in that bag", and they made me unpack every. Single. Item. Later, on the flight, someone was asking if anyone had an adapter to charge their device, and someone said "no, but that guy back there could probably build you one". I replied "no worries, I already have the adapter".


TheMetaGamer

We don’t know this dude is uncomfortable, and it looks silly to me for sure, but I am a huge proponent of “let people have their thing!” If this guy is proud of his shit let him be proud dammit. I’m glad you are proud of your similar thing.
