This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

See it actually goes like this:
The cybersecurity field sees the CS and software field as a bunch of posers.
The red team (field) sees the blue team as a bunch of posers.
The actual redteam (opsec white hat) sees pentesters as a bunch of posers.
The blackhat hackers sees white hat hackers as a bunch of posers.
Most (skilled) blackhats work for an APT or Nation State, so we almost never get to see a post compromise attack that actually does anything other than crypto ransom or targeted hardware destruction.
But seriously, this post really depends on what type of cybersecurity work.
I would expect to see this from a bunch of internal company blueteam "hackers" ;)
Also, all of the most skilled blackhats have Lain as their icon on Teams/Twitter.
Am I stupid and missed the joke, or do you mean to imply that "most skilled blackhats" communicate over Microsoft Teams?
It was kind of a two tiered joke, because they would not use Teams, but also the Lain thing playing off the OP oitrage about avime avatars.
