![]() The respective “couplings” for Benson and Stabler allowed for a few years of formative partnership without any real threat of romance, most notably in “Futility,” when Benson and Cabot deal with a particularly grueling case that threatens the legal sanctity of rape counselors. Cabot and Benson had a ludicrous amount of chemistry, which translated into the kind of sexual tension that was able to spawn an entire new faction of SVU fandom (to this day, Hargitay and March still lovingly play into the ship whenever the latter guest-stars). During that time, the show also had its first - and arguably best - ADA, Alex Cabot (Stephanie March). For four years, Stabler was somewhat happily married and fully faithful to his wife. Not much happened on the Bensler front from seasons two through five. He reminds her that they’re partners “for better or worse” and acknowledges that sometimes things just happen between co-workers. ![]() “Can you blame him?” Stabler gently says during a heart-to-heart about the situation. Benson doesn’t want the one-night stand to turn into anything else, but Cassidy grows attached to her, and the tension is palpable. She sleeps with Detective Brian Cassidy (Dean Winters), another young and single member of the squad. For the first time, the show also juxtaposes the case with Benson’s sex life. With “Closure,” one of the most notable early episodes of SVU, viewers got a look into the hour-by-hour breakdown of the justice process immediately after a sexual assault takes place, including a detailed account of the rape-kit procedure. “Well, maybe, but that’s only because you have a wife and kids,” Benson says before taking another long drink. Stabler argues that she would and takes a sip from the same glass. His finest moment comes when he drops by in the morning to give her a lift to the precinct because he was “in the neighborhood.” While drinking orange juice, Benson points out that they live in different boroughs and says she wouldn’t do the same for him. But Stabler is the most concerned and becomes her de facto bodyguard. When a perp becomes fixated on Benson, the entire squad is on edge. The relationship suddenly becomes the core of the show, whether it’s written that way or not. Įvery great TV ship has an “Oh, hello” episode, an installment early in the series in which the chemistry between the two characters is so undeniable that you can’t help but want to see them together. Law & Order: SVU is streaming on Peacock. In honor of the upcoming reunion, here are the defining episodes of Benson and Stabler’s partnership. Information is being kept tightly under wraps, but Stabler’s return to the NYPD is spurred on “after a devastating personal loss,” according to a series description from NBC. He is slated to appear in an episode of Law & Order: SVU that will cross over into the series premiere of Law & Order: Organized Crime in the second hour. ![]() Meloni will return as Stabler tonight in a two-hour event. As magic as they were together, the best thing about Benson and Stabler might just be that it never happened.Ī decade later, the reunion is finally happening. It’s worth noting that since Stabler’s retirement, Benson has been in multiple serious relationships, become a mother, and risen through the ranks to SVU captain. This was endearing for a few seasons but became perplexing as their years together began to morph into a lifetime without any actual commitment. Their worlds revolved around each other and didn’t leave room for much else, especially for Benson. Stabler’s complicated but enduring marriage to his wife, Kathy (Isabel Gillies), threw a wrench into things and left both him and Benson in a personal stasis for the duration of their partnership. The two - known as Bensler - had the attraction factor of Mulder and Scully, Castle and Beckett, and Hayes and Addison but exist in a franchise that’s not built on romantic relationships. Hargitay proved to be the beating heart of the show, which is still going strong in its 22nd season, but the what ifs and if onlys of Stabler’s sudden departure continue to haunt fans. Their chemistry and companionship was the stuff of legend and - despite never actually getting together - one of the most compelling will-they, won’t-they stories in the crime-procedural circuit. For 12 years, the relationship between detectives Elliot Stabler (Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) had provided the backbone for some of the most unsettling crimes on prime-time television. When Christopher Meloni left Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2011, it was unclear how the show would fare without him.

![]() ![]() The PC gets a new icon, with a curved monitor and super advanced PC and mouse. The rest of the update has a slew of events and features that comment on current events - a new platform, the “Ninvento Swap” joins the list you can develop. “Bankruptcy is likely,” warns the game in the advanced settings tab where Pirate Mode can be activated. Pirate Mode also requires the user to sell company shares to survive, which of course deviates the mission from making and selling art to just trying to stay alive. Oh, and, now they write you “fan mail” from time to time, and it sounds like that won’t be pleasant, either. Of course, the risk there is that developing and using it may alienate a player base that does not care for such things. ![]() Somewhat like hardcore or survival modes ( like Fallout 4) Pirate Mode is unforgiving but it does give the player some tools to fight back. The update celebrates the new launch of the game on iOS and Android Game Dev Tycoon has been available on Windows PC, Mac and Linux since December 2012. Well, Pirate Mode, available in version 1.6, is for the paying customers, and developer Greenheart Games says it ramps up the difficulty to “ultra-hard.” Game Dev Tycoon, you may remember, was the business tycoon sim that back in 2013 inflicted software pirates’ depredations on those who had actually pirated the game - their projects would always fail and the game would become unplayable. Its newest update comes with Pirate Mode, and it’s as clever as it sounds. Hats off to Game Dev Tycoon, still one of the most meta of meta games more than five years after its launch. ![]() The inSSIDer wi-fi scanner can do various tasks, including finding open Wi-Fi access points, tracking signal strength and saving logs with GPS records. InSSIDer is a popular Wi-Fi scanner for Microsoft Windows and OS X operating systems. Additionally, Wifiphisher is designed to be modular, enabling advanced users to write custom code to expand its capabilities. ![]() These can be used to collect user credentials for third-party sites or Wi-Fi network credentials. Wifiphisher also enables an attacker to launch web phishing attacks. By convincing wireless users to connect to the rogue access point, Wifiphisher provides an attacker with the ability to intercept and monitor or modify their wireless traffic. Wifiphisher is a tool designed to perform man-in-the-middle attacks by exploiting Wi-Fi association. The last 2020 release significantly re-architected the system to improve performance and add new features. Kismet is supported on all operating systems (using WSL on Windows) and is actively supported. It passively collects packets being broadcast in its vicinity and analyzes them to detect even hidden Wi-Fi networks. Kismet is a wireless network sniffer that works for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, software-defined Radio (SDR) and other wireless protocols. Before running Wifite, it is recommended to install their optional tools as they are essential for running some of the supported attacks. It is designed to work on the Kali Linux and ParrotSec Linux distros. Wifite2 is a complete rewrite of the original Wifite tool. It runs existing wireless hacking tools for you, eliminating the need to memorize and correctly use the different tools with their various options. Wifite is a Python script designed to simplify wireless security auditing. ![]() If you follow the steps properly, you should be able to successfully crack a Wi-Fi network protected with WEP. Read the online tutorial on the website to know more about the tool. VMWare Image needs less knowledge, but it only works with a limited set of host OS, and only USB devices are supported.īefore you start using this too, confirm that the wireless card can inject packets. In this case, try Live CD or VMWare image. If you are not comfortable with Linux, you will find it hard to use this tool. If you are using a Linux distribution, the only drawback of the tool is that it requires deeper knowledge of Linux. It supports most of the wireless adapters and is almost guaranteed to work. It comes as Linux distribution, Live CD and VMware image options. The company behind the tool also offers an online tutorial where you can learn how to install and use this tool to crack wireless passwords. To make the attack faster, it implements a standard FMS attack with some optimizations. Once enough packets have been gathered, it tries to recover the password. Aircrack-ng uses the best algorithms to recover wireless passwords by capturing packets. Aircrack-ngĪircrack-ng is one of the most popular wireless password cracking tools that you can use for 802.11a/b/g WEP and WPA cracking. ![]() These are the popular tools used for wireless password cracking and network troubleshooting. The other kind of tool is used to hack WEP/WPA keys. One can be used to sniff the network and monitor what is happening in the network. These tools can either take advantage of WEP weaknesses or use brute force password guessing attacks on WPA/WPA2/WPA3. To get unauthorized access to a network, one needs to crack these security protocols. While most routers currently use WPA or WPA2, a third version called WPA3 was certified a few years ago and is designed to replace the existing protocols. This new protocol was Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Now, this can be cracked within minutes.Ī new Wi-Fi security protocol was introduced in 2003. However, it was weak, and several serious weaknesses were found in the protocol. WEP, or Wired Equivalent Privacy, is a deprecated security protocol that was introduced back in 1997 as a part of the original 802.11 standards. WEP and WPA are the two main security protocols used in Wi-Fi LAN. These vulnerabilities exist because of issues in WEP or WPA. Poor encryption is related to security keys used to protect the wireless network. It may include a weak password, a lack of security settings, use of default configurations and other user-related issues. Poor configuration is caused by the network admin who manages the network. One is poor configuration and the other is poor encryption. Two types of vulnerabilities can be found in the Wireless LAN. But in ad hoc networks, there is no access point each node connects in a peer-to-peer way. Infrastructure networks have one or more access points that coordinate the traffic between the nodes. Wireless networks are based on IEEE 802.11 standards defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE ) for ad hoc networks or infrastructure networks. ![]() I'm not saying it can't be done, but you'll have a much better chance if you know someone in-world there who can help guide you and make the learning curve more manageable. Then after camming a while, I decided to try SL again from a different angle and guess what? I still didn't make much lol. I then discovered camming through an evil studio recruiter who was working as "security" at a voice escort club I was working at. It later turned into a job, but I wasn't making very good money. If you go in there with the expectation that it's like a virtual cam site and you can just log in, wave your sexy avatar in front of some horny dudes and make money right away, then you're gonna have a bad time. Then if you still enjoy it after a while and are getting the hang of it, then start making money. Get to know it, get a feel for the culture, the unspoken rules, the styles, the jobs you can have there. If you're already a gamer and enjoy video games, MMO's, etc, then my advice is to start playing it as a hobby or in your spare time. Ruby: The thing with SL or any virtual world is that you have to invest a lot of time (and sometimes money, since long time users will be able to spot freebie items from a mile away) for very little return. I was on it years ago, and it seemed like a very broken "token" value system and a lot of hobbyists competing with you for pennies.and somehow at the end of my experience I got stuck in a maze walking in circles so I never logged in again LOL sounds about right, for both RLC and SL. I guess both games allow their respective currencies to be converted to real money to be cashed out to something like Payoneer or Paxum, etc? I didn't know second life had cam girls on there, but i'v heard of IMVU having more 'adult' features in the game. It didn't run very well on my laptop with the newer avatar models, they appeared like.naked or were missing limbs, clothing, textures etc haha. I once tried out Second Life on my laptop, just to check it out for fun, but I found it sort of confusing. If you charge 元50 to 4500 for text and 2500 to 250,000 lindens for voice, then make sure your camming is L5000 for those interesting customers.Thanks for the reply! In Second Life, there are tons of girls who charge too low and do not make tons of money. If you are a cam model, then make sure you charge about L5000 and up while camming. Meanwhile, Red Light Center takes awhile to load up and customers can be cheap. However, Second Life is the best when it comes to pay and freedom. Actually, you are better off with Second Life or IMVU. ![]() And if you're missing a track, This Free DJ Software will automatically find it on the Internet and stream it directly (*requires an additional subscription).

Wall of Moon Lord is fast, unleashes many deadly laser attacks, and unleashes multiple invincible minions to kill you. It is the last Hardmode boss, summoned by throwing the Earthling Voodoo Doll into lava in The Underworld while the Earthling is alive. Wall of Moon Lord is a giant wall made out of Moon Lord, the antagonist of Terraria. In Expert mode, The Fogbound gains an extra fog ring attack in his second phase, as well as quicker screen fogging powers. The Fogbound drops weapons and items related to fog and air. The Fogbound offers a sane and fair challenge to mid- hardmode players who just want to test out their new weapons and gun class without having to worry about thousands of walls appearing randomly or multiplying lasers. It is summoned by using a Foggy Mirror, but will despawn upon reaching its second phase if it is daytime. The Fogbound is a vengeance fog spirit intended to be fought after defeating all Mechanical bosses are right after Plantera. It can travel through blocks, but prefers to stay within bodies of water, allowing its minions and the projectiles it summons, and occasionally digging through the ground and causing geysers. It is summoned when a Gilded Oyster Pearl is used as bait for fishing in the Oasis. The Great Giza Gallumpa is a giant, gilded fish with 4,000/ 8,000/ 10,200 health. The Snowstorm Grande Penguin drops helpful weapons for the early game, and is a source of Coffee, which provides the helpful "Plenty Satisfied" buff. Despite this, the player is advised to obtain some basic equipment and weapons before attempting to defeat it. It is likely the first boss the player will fight, and has the weakest health, defense, and damage out of all bosses. It can be summoned in the Snow biome using a Caffeinated Lardfish. The Snowstorm Grande Penguin is an inflated and caffeinated abomination from the tundra with 1,200/ 1,680/ 2,140 health. When it comes to sandbox games, it's always fun to see what it's like to bring a different franchise into the game.Pre-Hardmode Bosses Snowstorm Grande Penguin Because the world is rather open and the bosses can be fought out of order, sometimes it's hard to remember exactly which bosses have been fought and which have not. ![]() ![]() There are a lot of bosses in the world of Terraria. This is another self-explanatory mod, but it can go a long way as to making life in Terraria much simpler. Crafting in the game can be a bit of a hassle, especially when the player doesn't know crafting recipes by heart. While this part of the game could be chill for some, it also can feel boring and tedious to mine one block at a time. The grind of Terraria is in full force when players are mining out an area for materials. ![]() For those looking for a complete overhaul of Terraria, one of the first mods that are worth checking out is Super Terraria World.
