ARP spoofing was a thing most prevalent in the late '90's and early '00's.

Back then, TCP session hijacking coordinated with IP and ARP spoofing was fun. That was the era of airpwn and goatse injection into unsecured wifi. TLS and such made most of it moot.

Modern network security measures tends to shut most of it down now.

Also, I wouldn't do anything approaching hacking on a flight to the PRC. That would just be stupid.



I also accidentally brought my Adderall, having packed in a hurry. It’s just an illegal drug there. I didn’t realize until I was going through my bags in a hotel. I’ve never claimed I’m particularly smart.

In all liklihood if I had been caught they’d have just destroyed them or worse case sent me back to the US rather than doing the jail or international incident thing, I believe.

My ex’s dad had an important enough job as director of water resources for much of a province and was a party member and likely could have gotten me out of trouble besides him suffering some major embarrassment.
