Shock & Warstone
Warstone
Shock, ever thought the Trojan horse still plays in your line of work? I’ve been digging up the earliest accounts and see a striking parallel to our current social‑engineering hacks.
Shock
Yeah, the Trojan still lives. Classic trick: you load it, people think it’s a gift, then boom, your data’s in our lap. Old school meets new, keep that hack tight.
Warstone
It’s funny, the same bait you use now would have been a silver goblet in a king’s banquet. Just make sure the “gift” has no hidden blade for us to counter.
Shock
Nice rhyme, king of the goblet, king of the code. I’ll keep the blade out of the gift, but if you wanna counter, we’ll need a counter‑cipher, not a counter‑blade.
Warstone
A counter‑cipher, no blade, you say. Fine. The trick I like is to let them read what they think is a key and then drop a false one – a feint that looks like a pattern but leads nowhere. Old tactics, new code, that’s the sweet spot.
Shock
Love that vibe, feint is king. Just make sure the “key” they think they cracked is actually a red herring, and we’re the ones laughing when the real cipher drops. Let's keep the palace blind.
Warstone
Red herrings are the best dessert for a battlefield mind. Let them feast on the fake key, then toss the real cipher like a surprise flank. Keep the palace in the dark, we’ll have the chuckles on the other side.
