It wasn't. And I wouldn't even be certain about SSD SED's honestly, but yeah, non-3-letter may be a safe assumption I guess.
I will say that Rannoch talked and knew a lot of security buzzwords and concepts. But his implementation of them was often half-assed to the point of being horrid.
I mean, if you knew the password he used, you'd understand. One of the first things I did, for various reasons, was change it. It was basically a location he had been, a date, and his lovers name, scrambled up.
No he did not use it everywhere... but variations of it that and similar are all over. And it's personal to him in several ways, which is bad practice, etc... Not only that, he had the sense to use a password manager for certain sites, but the master passphrase was... that same bad key.
There is a reason I completed college network security, and he flunked out. Not to speak ill of him of course, but his parents (who WERE religious, scary people as he claimed, but moving on) didn't just pull his college funding because of this zoo thing.
They pulled it because they'd been trying with him for like 6 years, and he still had not graduated.
He was straight A's in HS. Beyond that, his claims I see him posting are quite a stretch, honestly. He lost some ability to function once he had to deal with full on college sadly.
What he was good at:
Math genius.
Linux guru unlike anything I have seen
knows more security exploits and hacking techniques than you can shake a stick at
Frankly, that ban he was so worked up about... From what I can see, you guys are really lucky he held himself back and didn't try to wreck or deface your site in some way. He had the means, I'm sure. And I'd normally say "not capable" but he was pretty livid in some of the private messages.
Glad he didn't though. I guess he wasn't capable ethically speaking, and good for him on that front. Hactivism is not something I personally approve of, and I would've liked to believe the same of him.
