Deception Techniques: Deflecting with Data

Deflecting with data is a classic.

It's a delicate art, really.

First, you must gather your data.

  1. Use it to create a smokescreen.
  2. Make it look like you're doing work.
  3. But really, you're just deflecting.

Subpages:

		
			// Example Deflecting Code
			deflect(data) {
				return data.filter(x => x === false);
			}

Overload

When in doubt, just give them more data.

It's like a digital firehose.

They'll never know what's real and what's not.

Distract

Make them focus on something else.

Like a shiny object, perhaps.

While you're deflecting, they're not paying attention.
