Hello there, I'm "Ghost", a 21 year old from the United Kingdom but of Chinese ethnicity (If you're after something to put on your CV when applying for the NSA, or just want to know where I live, feel free to decipher the RIPEMD-160 hash I've set as my location.
).
I've been browsing this forum for a while now, but I figured it was about time I took a more active part in the discussion that goes on here. My main interest lies in the emerging spectrum of Cyber-Warfare, and in particular, highly-sophisticated nation-state malware along the lines of Gauss, Flame, Stuxnet etc. This area, even when we've seen some of its capability, is still very under-researched and under-developed. The fact that something in its infancy can be so capable already really boggles the mind. It will be very much interesting to see the next Gauss and what it could do.
I am also however fascinated by Fighter Jets (where this forum is renowned for fantastic discussion by expert members like Air Force Brat and Engineer) and Warships (where members like Jeff Head provide professional knowledge). The maiden flight of the J-20 was a moment of great pride for me in how far China has come and I equally look forward to seeing more PLAAF/PLAN related developments being analyzed and evaluated here.
Some of my personal interests include Cryptography (who would've guessed?
), Data Science, Technology and Finance. Sports-wise, I'm a keen Badminton and Table Tennis player. For leisure I like to play Poker. A slightly unhealthy addiction perhaps but one which, with luck and skill, will be very profitable
.
Looking forward to contributing to the best military forum on the net!
Kind Regards,
Ghost.
