The skull mask is mandatory, it is in the OWASP top 10. Real hacking is 4 hours reading a PDF of an API spec and then finding the admin endpoint is called /admin. Voilà.

Dear friends, it is vi, not Vim. In vi you press Escape, type :q and the machine obeys. No mask is required. With regards.

Fifteen monitors and not one of them is showing a backup log. Very realistic. Cheers, G.
