ITfag here. Among other things, keep servers up for a living.
Those yelling "Q is a LARP because CM said he logged in from same IP/device when Q claimed /GA/ was comped" have no fucking idea how the Internet works and what is device hopping/tunneling.
First and foremost, we KNOW FOR A FACT that Q uses tunnelled/hopped connections through several devices. Multiple times he was doing SEC_TESTs and device tests when Clowns were attacking his capability.
If they succeeded, they took over the LAST DEVICE IN THE CHAIN THAT WAS VISIBLE FROM THE CLEARNET. Meaning: the endpoint, the route that actually connects to 8ch. This makes it possible to install a sniffer to look up further into the chain, and MOST IMPORTANTLY - to get a request logger to get Q's password for his trip. This is why Q's trip changed and this is why /GA/ was no longer to be trusted - because someone took over one of his endpoints, sniffed for a password and made changes to /GA/ that made /GA/ unsafe to use, since board owners are locked to their trips.
tl;dr eat shit AIM and Fake Q, you don't know fucking anything about the Internet.
