Subject: | Random host generation... |
Date: | Thu, 07 Nov 2002 21:53:32 -0500 |
I've been working on a project using a tool called "TableSmith".
It's a sort of generator that can take bits of information out of
tables and put them together in whatever fashion you wish. For more
information about the program itself, check out
http://www.mythosa.net/Utils.html . I've put together a script to
generate random matrix hosts based on the rules found in the "Matrix"
sourcebook. Specifically the security sheaf generation.
I get some really long sheaves using this script. Example:
Blue-5:12:11:10:13:10
Host is blue easy
Security Sheaf:
6 Reactive White
12 Passive Alert
<snip 21 extraneous steps>
148 Active Alert
154 Proactive White
161 Proactive White
166 Proactive White
173 Proactive Gray
178 Proactive Gray
185 Proactive Gray
190 Proactive Gray
195 Proactive Gray
202 Proactive Gray
207 Shutdown
I feel that there is entirely too many ICe for a blue easy host, and
can't seem to find any canon modifier that would ensure fewer steps
to reach the alerts. I do know that I can just ignore/reroll the
results, but I will probably script in some sort of limiter. The
above example was the first roll done to generate a result for this
email, the # of steps tend to be on the high side more than the low
side.
Also, I could not find any relation between the hosts security
rating and it's ACIFS values. Am I having a blonde moment and am just
plain missing it? Or is there no relation. Should there be?
If anyone else is using TableSmith for SR, what scripts have you
developed? I will be putting mine up on my site in the near future.
This one, a companion script for detailed ICe generation, and a "Life
History" script based on Gurth's Life History generation rules (as
long as Gurth doesn't mind. Gurth?)

Selections from the diary of an AOL user.
July 22 I bought the modem. I couldn't figure out where it goes.
It wouldn't fit in the monitor or the printer. I'm confused.
