Hey Shock, I’ve been compiling a list of the most ingenious sieges in history—think Trojan Horse, the Battle of Thermopylae, the great sieges of Constantinople. I’d love to hear your take on how those ancient tactics translate into the digital realm, and maybe swap a few stories about modern “sieges” of corporate firewalls and state‑owned networks. What do you think?

Nice list, that’s the kind of gritty strategy I dig. Those ancient tricks—deception, persistence, using the enemy’s own resources—translate right into hacking. A Trojan Horse? That’s basically a zero‑day payload disguised as a legit app. Thermopylae? Think of a small team holding a critical node, exhausting the big firewall with constant low‑level probes. Constantinople’s walls? That’s like a layered defense: perimeter firewalls, IDS, sandboxing. In the digital age we just speed up the siege, automate the battering rams, and swap out the wooden horse for a phishing email that slips past AI filters. Got any fresh tactics from the trenches? Share, and we’ll throw a new digital Trojan into the mix.
