# NODE DIRECTORY
This domain is now a switchboard, not a storefront. Every node it connects to is a real, separately-run outpost. Pick a line.
NODE 1 :: Jaramie Morris — Solo Operator
Security, AI, embedded hardware, and a handful of stranger seeds — novel, game, iOS app, honeypot, broadcast network. The personal signal this whole network is modeled on.
CONNECT »NODE 9 :: The Retro Computing Links Portal
Twenty-two hand-picked doors into BBS terminals, FTP archives, emulation, preservation docs, and ANSI/demoscene art. No ads, no trackers, no Java applets. Sorry.
CONNECT »NODE 2 :: AUTODIAL.EXE — The Wardialer
A wardialer for a world with no phone lines left to wardial. DTMF tones, ring/busy cadence, and a modem handshake are theater — every "CONNECT" hands you a real, live telnet session with an actual, currently-listed public BBS, rendered in-browser.
CONNECT »NODE ??? :: Reserved
Slot open. Next seed goes here — CTF board, hardware log, honeypot dashboard, or whatever gets planted next.
COMING ONLINE# HACKER'S ALLEY
Legal, well-worn on-ramps for people who want to break things on purpose.
OverTheWire — Wargames
Bandit through Krypton. The classic first rung on the ladder, SSH-only, no excuses.
LIVE LINK go →HackTheBox
Boxes, tracks, and a scoreboard to keep you honest. Great for offense practice.
LIVE LINK go →TryHackMe
Guided rooms for people who want structure before chaos. Good BBS-newb-to-hacker bridge.
LIVE LINK go →NODE Write-Up Board
A place to post CTF write-ups and toolkits under the NODE banner. Planted, not grown yet.
COMING ONLINE# DEFENDER'S DEN
Blue team resources for people who'd rather catch the intrusion than cause it.
MITRE ATT&CK
The shared map of adversary behavior. If you defend anything, this is your dictionary.
LIVE LINK go →BlueTeamLabs Online
DFIR-flavored challenges — logs, packets, memory dumps. Detection practice, not just offense.
LIVE LINK go →Honeypot Dashboard
A live feed off one of NODE 1's planted honeypots, once it's ready to show its face publicly.
COMING ONLINE# TINKERER'S WORKSHOP
For the beige-plastic, breadboard, soldering-iron crowd.
Hackaday
Daily feed of hardware hacks, teardown logs, and projects that shouldn't work but do.
LIVE LINK go →r/embedded
Firmware, microcontrollers, and the eternal fight against undocumented registers.
LIVE LINK go →Project Logs
Build logs pulled straight from the workshop bench, posted as they happen.
COMING ONLINE# BBS NEWB SCHOOL
Never dialed into a board before? Start here, then head to NODE 9 for the real doors.
- BBS (Bulletin Board System)
- A dial-up (or now telnet/SSH) server people connect to for messages, files, and door games — the pre-web social network.
- SysOp
- System Operator. The person who runs the board, keeps the lights on, and occasionally bans you.
- Door Game
- A game launched from inside a BBS menu — think Legend of the Red Dragon, TradeWars 2002.
- ANSI Art
- Text-mode art using the extended ANSI/CP437 character set — the demoscene's low-bandwidth medium.
- Zmodem
- A file transfer protocol built for flaky phone lines. Still kicking around modern BBS terminals.
Ready to actually connect? NODE 9's BBS & Terminals area has curated terminal clients and live boards to dial into.
