So here's problem.

As I've shown before, each project has a file of magical "script tags" used to pull from the dictionaries that store much of a game project's data- species, moves, possibly even the scripts used when you talk to characters. It's wonderful. The Mondo "engine" has a base scripttags class that contains very basic script tags that almost any project will use, like "name" and "type". Users are to create a scripttag file extending the base scripttags to add any new tags they might need. The project-specific scripttags can't be made into a singleton because of course it doesn't exist in the base Mondo project (of course the user could singletonize it themselves regardless, but I want to make it kind of Just Work as-is), so certain workarounds have to be employed. For example, the species files…

A base "species-handler" file is provided in the base project. This extends the base scripttags so it can check against them for things like getting base stats…

In the user's project, you make a species.gd file containing all your species data. This can of course extend the project-specific scripttags file; this scripttags file extends the base scripttags file, so you have access to all tags.

Finally in the user's project, a project-specific species-handler is created to add any extra rules that might need to be followed; for example, an additional base stat, or special checks. This extends the base species-handler. It loads the project-specific species file and sets a "species" variable to point to the species file's species dictionary so it can be easily accessed. (These variables are declared in the base handler so its functions can still "see" them.) Now this file doesn't have direct access to the project-defined species tags, but it does have… the loaded file the species dictionary came from, which extends the project-specific script tags. So just name the variable that's loaded into something handy (here it's "sp") and get tags with sp.whatevertag. Beautiful!

Now consider the following: battle scene. As explained before this is a chain of extends using battle script files available in the base project. The user can define their own battle scenes and insert their own file full of defined functions and data in between battle-utils and their own created scenes. But there's a problem- battle-basis, from which all battle scenes ultimately extend, is a base project file. And you know what base project files can't do?… That's right, extend project-specific script tags.

Actually, having typed all this out I've already figured out the solution, just give battle scenes access to species-handler. But let's discuss how that's to be done.

So the way data-handler works is that, after checking the specified project folder and replacing it with default-project if it's not found (that's so I can just upload the code without my own folders and it works right out of the box), it checks for certain predefined files and loads them up:

(These should probably each get their own error checking and load the default if not found; it won't have any useable data but that way it at least has a default stuff.) Data-handler is a global singleton, so anything can access it from anywhere. So like if you're talking to an NPC in the field and they're like, "oh your (species name) is so cool!" and you want it to get the same of the species instead of whatever nickname you've given it, you call data.sph.getname(partymon[n].species_id) or the like. Voila. So everything has access to the species data and getter functions (as well as moves, eventually abilities, etc). And you remember what we just got done explaining? Species-handler has access to species, which extends the project-specific datatags. So, all the battlescene needs to do is, on creation, grab a pointer to species from data, and it can use that to access the tags. Magical! Oh and it might as well grab a pointer to species-handler and move-handler and whatnot in the first place because it obviously is going to be using them a hell of a lot, might as well give them a bit of a shorter path.

Also, the way scripttags are handled right now is to give them a unique filename and class_name, so they can much more easily be slapped on an extends, so data-handler wouldn't be able to find it… could use a predefined file name but unique class names I guess. That would just give things like battle scenes a more direct access to them. Might be better to do that.

Also also this was all completely pointless because the dictionary setup is probably temporary and I should move over to using resources like a normal person.

Anyway, I've started working on what I talked about before, cleaning up the move-execution code and what to do with fainted mons, and have started considering what to do about project-specific battle code. Like, implementing special moves/attack/defense in a Pokemon clone, or changing up the damage calculation. I've come up with the idea of a battle-engine object, loaded by data-handler and instantiated by each battle scene either on creation or per-battle, that can communicate with and effect battle scenes. This object can hold variables for the user's unique battle field stuff, like field effects, and can hold the damage calculation functions. And since it's a unique file to the project, it can extend the project's own script tags. I like that, I think I'll do that.

... Which actually solves the above problem because battle-engine can and should have access to moves, species and scripttags, and is the main thing that will be using them! Ha ha.

The biggest heist that almost was

Let me tell you about the most insane bank heist that is going to sound like I'm just leaking the script for the next American hacking movie. The goal? Steal one billion USD. And it all began with an email and a printer, which as we all know is where problems usually start. Another weapon in this heist was... Weekends and time zones.

As usual, no prior computer science education needed.

What happened?

On the morning of February 5th 2016, a printer had stopped working in the central bank of Bangladesh (Bangladesh Bank). But it wasn't just any printer, it was the printer responsible for printing all the records of the multimillion transfers going in and out of the bank. When the poor employees finally won the printer battle and had it resume normal operation, they saw a very concerning account transfer in the records that was coming out. The bank had an USD account in the USA, at Federal Reserve Bank, with approximately 1 billlion Dollars in it, and the Federal Reserve Bank had received instructions to drain almost the entire amount. In the records that came out in the printer, the American bank had attempted to urgently message the Bangladesh bank regarding this transfer, but couldn't get through to them. This was because the hack had actually started the day before, Thursday 4th, at around 20:00 Bangladesh time, when the bank was closed. However, USA had just started their day, giving the American bank plenty of time to follow through with the instructions from the Bangladesh bank to drain their entire account while they were closed. And that wasn't the end of it, as weekends are from Friday to Saturday in Bangladesh, meaning that the Bangladesh bank headquarters in Dhaka wouldn't discover this withdrawal until Sunday morning. That's when they immediately tried to reach the American bank, which of course didn't work as over there it was Saturday evening, and the American weekend is from Saturday to Sunday, meaning that they wouldn't be reachable until Monday.

You see what I mean by the hackers using time zones and weekends, finding the perfect time for the American bank to execute their orders while Bangladesh discovers the withdrawal several days too late, and again several days too late for Americans to be reachable. But it didn't stop there with their timehacking.

The money had to go somewhere from the American bank, and it would be stupid to send it directly to the hackers own account without laundering the money first. So they had set up four different bank accounts in the Philippines, using fake names and credentials. Why the Philippines? Because the Lunar new year was on Monday the 8th, which is a holiday and holiday means no bank activities in either Bangladesh or the Philippines, buying the hackers even more time. As a final act, they messed with the printer responsible for printing transaction records, adding another few hours to their schedule. Moon and stars really aligned perfectly for this plan.

But how did they do it?

It all began one year prior, in January 2015, with an email sent to several employees at the Bangladesh Bank. The email seemingly contained a job application from a person who didn't actually exist, but who was very polite in his request for a position at the bank, with a link to his CV and cover letter. Naturally this link led to a document with a little surprise gift - malware. Since the heist happened, at least one of the recipients must have clicked the link, and successfully deployed a RAT - Remote Access Trojan, malware that lets you control a computer from the comfort of your own home, as well as a toolkit with various malware to move from computer to computer, avoiding discovery, and covering their tracks.

From there, the hackers slowly made their way through the bank offices network, one step at a time to avoid setting off alarms, looking for any computer that had control of the banks SWIFT setup. SWIFT lets banks transfer large amounts of money between themselves and other banks connected to SWIFT. And as soon as they found one of those computers, they stopped. They didn't need to hack SWIFT in the traditional sense of the word - since they operated in a bank computer, the SWIFT-software assumed they naturally had to be bank employees. However, one of the parts of the malware used in the heist was for manipulating the SWIFT system, as the hackers weren't physically there to press anything. Additionally, since they were laying dormant for the time to strike, they needed to keep an eye out for SWIFT updates that could detect any tampering with the system, and adapt accordingly.

Then they waited many months for the stars to align on February 4th, 2016.

There were 35 transfers made by the hackers from the American bank account, totaling almost 1 billion USD, but there were two of these tiny little seemingly insignificant details that prevented this from becoming the worlds largest bank heist in history. The hackers biggest enemy became this concept known as “words”.

The Philippine bank accounts were all located in the same RCBC Bank office on Jupiter Street in Manila. And this would be the hackers downfall, as USA had sanctions put on an Iranian cargo ship called Jupiter. Since the transactions went to a recipient that contained the word “Jupiter”, it created a security alert in the Federal Reserve Bank that the employees needed to investigate. When they saw what was going on, they managed to stop all but five of the initial 35 transactions, thus “only” roughly 100 million USD made it to the Philippines. The Bangladesh bank requested to reverse the transactions, but since the money was in the Philippines, they would need bureaucracy in form of a court order to reclaim the money, and we all know that's not a 5 minute project. It was when Bangladesh filed the court order in late February that the case became public (since court orders are public documents) and the news broke to the country.

Once in the RCBC bank accounts, the money arrived on Friday the 5th and was immediately moved again. First the 100 million was converted to local currency, and some of it was withdrawn in cash, while the rest was sent off to other hacker-controlled locations. And this is where the second tiny little detail cut off even more of the hackers precious payday. 20 million USD had been sent to Shalika Foundation, a charity organisation in Sri Lanka. But,  once again the hackers worst enemy - words - decided to strike again. A typo was made in their transaction, sending the money to “Shalika Fundation”, and a bank employee who must have had their morning coffee spotted this typo and rejected the transfer and kept the funds frozen. This left the hackers with 80 million USD.

✨Now comes the money laundering!✨

There was a second reason for choosing the Philippines as deposit zone; gambling is legal and the casinos had no money laundering regulations imposed. The accomplices of the heist booked private rooms in two casinos located in Manila - Solaire and Midas - and proceeded to purchase tokens to gamble for with the stolen money. Since they played with a room consisting of their fellow accomplices, winning was not really much of a challenge. Then the tokens could be exchanged back to money that would now be clean. To avoid suspicion, they didn't gamble all of the money at once, but over the course of several weeks gambled away the dirty money to clean money.

Who was behind it?

It's normally difficult to pinpoint where the more sophisticated hacking groups come from. Oftentimes, they will leave false clues behind that points to another group so they will face more trouble instead of the group that did it. They may even place clues from several different groups, just to mess with the analysts. It's also quite common to simply “steal” a way of working from another group, or use a leaked/stolen tool from another group (criminals aren't safe from other criminals, especially not in this business) - there are new malware coming out all the time with code that is just a slight modification of a well-known malware actor that had their source code leaked or simply had hired the same programmer. Or they may leave no clues as to who was behind it. Attribution to the guilty part is usually the single most difficult mission in IT-security - often it's just pure guesswork with little to no solid evidence to back it up, if you're lucky there's circumstantial evidence.

This case was no different. The first clue came from the IP the bad guys used to connect to the Bangladesh bank from. It was located in Pyongyang, North Korea. But, as I mentioned, this is not a conclusive verdict, as the IP may simply be planted false evidence to throw the analysts off their track. After the heist, the hackers used a data-wiper to scrub as much of their malware off the bank systems, but they didn't succeed in deleting all of it, some of the tools were still present, including the wiper.

Due to the scale of this operation, it caught the attention of every single IT-security person and IT-security company worldwide, who all of course wanted to know who and how they did it. With the remaining malware, a joint effort was made, comparing malware code to other malware code for similarities. Some was found in Poland, after an analyst noted the similarities from another suspected North Korean hack. Some was found in another infamous North Korean hack targeting Sony Pictures. More and more signs pointed towards the same actor. Some were false leads, the hackers seemed to be wanting to implicate the Russians did it, but failed quite miserably at that, just sprinkling random Russian words into the malware and making it way too obvious it was a ruse.

You may not believe this, but the North Korean government has one of the most notorious hacking groups in the world, known as the Lazarus Group. Some of its more well-known adventures include an extremely data-destructive hack of Sony Pictures (as punishment for releasing “The Interview”), creation of the ransomware WannaCry which was used against many targets worldwide (including hospitals), and various attempts at gathering information from governments and government-affiliated corporations all over the world. And, of course, this heist.

Eventually, after months of collaboration all over the world, the final verdict fell on North Korea, and specifically one of their programmers. His name is Park Jin Hyok, and worked for Chosun Expo - a front company for the North Korean government, located in Dalian (China) who used the funds of the fake corporation gained from legitimate programming jobs from customers worldwide to create the malware and plan the heist with all of its expenses. Of course he wasn't the sole person involved in this project, but it's the only person we know was in it.

This particular heist had been meticulously planned for several years, and Park Jin Hyok had moved to Dalian, set up fake IDs and built a network of contacts there to avoid suspicion. However, he didn't manage to delete all of his online footprints, and became the number one suspect when his internet activities suddenly came from Pyongyang, North Korea.

Additionally, several Chinese business men - many associated with the casino industry in China's Macau territory - were also charged and arrested for assisting with setting up the gambling rooms and coordinating the money laundering process. One unknown Chinese business man managed to get away with 31 million USD of the 80 million that remained after the heist, and as you would expect, he was never to be seen again.

With the middlemen from China paid off, not much remained of the original 1 billion to North Korea. But the heist has fascinated the whole IT-security world nonetheless.

I remember when the news of this case dropped to the IT-security world, who all wanted to take part in the hunt. It was a very fun time, we were all sitting at the edge of our seats waiting for the next update. I hope it was at least somewhat exciting for you too to read about, and thank you for reading this long post! If you liked it, please consider reblogging as it motivates me to write more. You may also like malware stuff I've written about before, such as Stuxnet or just plain evil malware that is a threat to our daily lives.

Well I did it fellas, I hit the point where making things extend "scripttags" breaks a functionality. (':

So here's a menu. When made on the fly it defaults in position to the top left corner. We want to reposition it to above the textbox or something. Should be easy right?

But it's not! Scripttags at its base is a plain "Node", so it has no goddamn position attribute. And changing it to a Node2D breaks the 3D maps that have their scripts changed to extend scripttags, even though (or I guess because) the node itself is still shown as a Node3D or whatever in the scenetree.

So it's probably time to go back to having scripttags be an autoloaded global singleton and just use dt.whatevertagname (global singleton 'dt' being datatags... should maybe be renamed to scripttags/st idk). But I really like being able to throw around tag names without any additional qualifier like that, and also I'm a stubborn idiot. So, like I start considering alternatives.

The opbase objects used for the menu options are proper Node2Ds (or sprites or whatever it was), so they can be positioned, which of course is a core feature of the menu system and already used to, you know, make the menu look like that. So the point to position the menu at could be passed in to each menu option and they could all move themselves in unison to the right place based on that. Also it occurs to me that the only place the menus use scripttags is the battle option menus that need to eg display move types and names based on the ID. So I could just change menus to proper Node2Ds and have just the battle menu use dt.whatever, and leave the 3D map nodes that extend scripttags for their scripts to, uh, hopefully not need anything from Node3D. I might actually just do that.

What Type of Boat Is Ideal for You?

There are numerous types of watercrafts that are available in the market depending on the need and how it's used.  Although there are watercrafts used to move or transport person or containers to various parts of the world which are categorized as industrial boats, we will categorize it here into only four based on private use: Sailboats, Motorboats, speed and sports boats, and personal Watercrafts.

Sailboats are driven by the wind through its sails.  

There are several types of sailboats ranging from a little one man sailboat into a huge sailboat that can hold a whole family.  Regardless of the size, sailboats are identified by its arrangement: the hull, keel and other areas of the watercraft. The hull of a sailboat offers ballast into the watercraft.  The perfect strand of a sailboat depends on how it's geometrically shaped.  Hulls are usually built with a foam filled room that produces the sailboat unsinkable.   It enhanced the lateral plane of the hull that permits easy sailing to the wind.  The centerboard is a mild keel that permits the ship to glide from the water. Engine Powered Watercrafts

A motorboat has engines to work.  

Motorboats can either have an inboard engine or an outboard engine that is installed in the rear region of the watercraft.  An outboard engine gets the combustion engine inside the boat and the propeller as well as the gearbox is outside the boat.  An inboard motorboat has two configurations, v-drive along with the direct drive.  Direct drive would possess the power plant at the middle using the propeller on the back; a v-drive would have the power plant on the back.  V drive is more popular due to the popularity of aftermath surfing and wakeboarding.  Motorboats come in different sizes just like the Boston Whaler which is just 4 meters open to yachts which could cross an ocean.

Speedboats have strong engines.  

These are streamlined watercrafts and were originally made to be utilized to save.  Its light weight allows the craft to travel around 50mph.  This type is inexpensive and it is inflatable and can be easily packed.  The cost of speedboats can increase along with its performance.  A sports vessel is the same as a speedboat but it's one cabin to relax. Personal Watercrafts for Personal Enjoyment and Fun

Personal Watercraft or Jet Ski is considered as a sea bike.  

It's a small water craft which can have at least two passengers, both the driver and the passenger.  It is a really quick watercraft and it can quickly accelerate.  It can be maneuvered easily.  The engine of the Jet Ski blows off water and then expels it at a directional pattern through the nozzle.  New models of jet skis enable up to four people. These watercrafts are protected using a Datatag system; this can be an identification scheme which uses registration numbers which are visible and digital tags.   Protect your boat with a high quality Boston Whaler Cushions . Don't let your baby rot away year after year, cover it up with a great fitting Boston Whaler Seats or Boston Whaler Interiors.

Plant theft soars as construction sites close

Plant and tool theft rates have soared by an estimated 50% during the Covid-19 crisis.

The Construction Equipment Association (CEA) said raids on vehicles and sites have spiked rapidly in the last two weeks.

David Smith, chairman CITS (Combined Industries Theft Solutions) said: “As a result of the Coronavirus situation, some construction sites have been forced to close, and personnel, including on-site security, have left.

“Under these circumstances, organised criminal gangs may try to exploit the situation.”

Nick Mayell, Datatag’s CESAR Police training and liaison officer said: “The Coronavirus ‘lockdown’ has meant that it’s currently ‘open season’ for criminal gangs who target construction plant.

“The abrupt abandonment of work-sites has left machinery unsecured and vulnerable.

“Whereas a company would normally ‘wind-down’ for seasonal closures by ‘off-hiring’ kit and moving their own machines – sites have closed overnight – in the blink of an eye – and the thieves are having a field day.”

Ian Elliott, group head of security, Clancy Docwra and CITS (Combined Industries Theft Solutions) vice chairman advised: “Firms should be aiming at removing the majority of tools and plant away from site compounds.

“Where traditionally companies would perhaps have used plant containers – during these challenging times – companies are advised to leave these almost empty and remove plant and tools to a head-office, where possible, or placing the tools and small kit, within brick or concrete buildings well out of sight of the criminals.

“For sites where a company can’t physically remove kit the machinery should be placed within containers and the containers blocked in by placing large concrete blocks or vehicles in front of them.”

The CEA is still progressing agreements with the police and key insurers to support a new Agricultural Construction Equipment (ACE) national police unit, which will be the successor for the original Plant & Agricultural National Intelligence Unit (PANIU).

But the April launch has now been postponed until 1 st October 2020.

Rob Oliver, chief executive CEA said: “The good thing is that, although the new national police unit is delayed, there is still active industry/police co-operation going on.

“This is made possible by the expertise of the CESAR Police Liaison Team, CITS and others stepping up their services to combat this crime wave.

“Police officers may have other urgent concerns at present, but the 24/7 CESAR call centre remains as a quick check resource for them when they need to identify suspicious plant. At the moment, it is all about working together to help protect our people and our businesses.”
