I think you would get a kick out of reading this paper on this exact topic, called the Vulnerable World Hypothesis https://nickbostrom.com/papers/vulnerable.pdf

my neighborhood here (excelsior district) is more or less like a more packed in version of where i grew up (south oak park). Comparing living anywhere in SF to living in Lanwdale or Englewood is absolutely wild, outside of some very isolated neighborhoods.

it's not "just to get that data", it's to confirm level of access, check for potential other exploiters or security software, identify the machine you have access to, identify what the machine has network connectivity to, etc. The attacker then maintains the c2 channel and can then perform their actual objective with the help of the data they have obtained.

interesting that the most balanced one is extremely similar to the default, which is not so:

> \#198 (\texttt{QNBRKBNR})is the most balanced, with both evaluation and asymmetry near zero... Remarkably, the classical starting position-despite centuries of cultural selection-lies far from the most balanced configuration.

I went to a similar museum in Japan, in Arima Onsen. It was a fun, hidden gem.
