“Lab” is a misnomer. I was running a lab for an adjacent product but the real grunt of this box was used for real time breach detection and hacker hunting where the box needed to be plugged directly into the network it was analyzing. I was very VERY good at detecting breaches. I met a group of the operators of APT1 and they knew who I was. Heh.
This is classic right wing “humor”. They get butt hurt because we make fun of them so they think that humor just means hurting the other guys. They try, and fail, and we laugh at them which makes them even more butt hurt.
