etruscan computing
pirate torture for computers:
from: http://blog.urbanomic.com/cyclon/archives/2009/04/index.html
The Etruscan torture has been described as chaining the living person to a rotting corpse, face to face and limb to limb until the living person perishes by the decay of the corpse. Only when the living person was blackened by putrefaction, the Etruscan robbers freed the living, now a corpse, from the chains. A metaphysical torture and a model for the intelligible ontology, Aristotle suggests that the relation between the body, the soul (psyche) and the intellect (nous) as the triad of his ontology can be explained as follows: ‘their bodies [those who have fallen into the hands of the Etruscans], the living with the dead, were bound so exactly as possible one against another: so our souls, tied together with our bodies as the living fixed upon the dead.’ (Cicero quoting Aristotle in Hortensius)

machine 1
root@ubuntu:~# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
root@ubuntu:~# cat /dev/mem | netcat 192.168.1.2 666
machine 2
root@jonnix:~# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
root@jonnix:~# netcat -l -p 666 | tee /dev/dsp - > /dev/mem &
execute before executing machine 1 2nd command
sound for 1 minute from machine 2 then a) machine 2 terminal crashed, machine 1 terminal defaulted to root@ubuntu:~#
machine 2 crash - all processes (including terminal, X-server/screen …) are in memory. So corrupting this…
for aesthetic/durational - slow down or stop/intermittently crashing, implement etruscan torture on a process level (MH)
the sound from machine 2 is it listening . /dev/dsp whats happening in machine 1? if so how to develop so both play each other
machine 1 is listening it seems but
cat /dev/mem | netcat 192.168.1.1 666
is not running on machine 2 it seems.
nb. /dev/urandom safer than /dev/mem for testing
implementation of Etruscan developed out of Oskoff Lovich's (strangely Etruscan in itself) code-brut (ap/xxxxx?) inspired noish transcode command cat /dev/mem » /dev/dsp
