The Etruscan torture has been described as chaining the living person to a rotting corpse, face to face and limb to limb until the living person perishes by the decay of the corpse. Only when the living person was blackened by putrefaction, the Etruscan robbers freed the living, now a corpse, from the chains. A metaphysical torture and a model for the intelligible ontology, Aristotle suggests that the relation between the body, the soul (psyche) and the intellect (nous) as the triad of his ontology can be explained as follows: ‘their bodies [those who have fallen into the hands of the Etruscans], the living with the dead, were bound so exactly as possible one against another: so our souls, tied together with our bodies as the living fixed upon the dead.’ (Cicero quoting Aristotle in Hortensius).

(machines linked w. cross-cable)
machine 1
root@ubuntu:~# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
root@ubuntu:~# cat /dev/mem | netcat 192.168.1.2 666
machine 2
root@jonnix:~# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
root@jonnix:~# netcat -l -p 666 | tee /dev/dsp - > /dev/mem &
execute before executing machine 1 2nd command
sound for 1 minute from machine 2 then a) machine 2 terminal crashed, machine 1 terminal defaulted to root@ubuntu:~#
machine 2 crash - all processes (including terminal, X-server/screen …) are in memory. So corrupting this…
for aesthetic/durational - slow down or stop/intermittently crashing, implement etruscan torture on a process level (MH)
the sound from machine 2 is it listening . /dev/dsp whats happening in machine 1? if so how to develop so both play each other
machine 1 is appears to be listening but
cat /dev/mem | netcat 192.168.1.1 666
seems not to be running on machine 2
implementation of Etruscan developed out of Oskoff Lovich's (strangely Etruscan in itself) code-brut (ap/xxxxx) inspired noish transcode command cat /dev/mem » /dev/dsp

DEC 2011: for machines running < kernel 2.6.24
machine 1 = [1] machine 2 = [2]
In order of execution:
- 1. [1] ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
- 2. [2] ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
- 3. [1] netcat -l 667 | tee /dev/dsp - > /dev/mem &
- 4. [2] netcat -l 666 | tee /dev/dsp - > /dev/mem &
- 5. [2] cat /dev/mem | netcat 192.168.1.1 667
- 6. [1] cat /dev/mem | netcat 192.168.1.2 666

/dev/dsp workaround for kernel 2.6.22+ - replace /dev/dsp with | aplay -r **000 (68000, 44100, 22500 …)
& as /dev/mem protected in 2.6.22+ after 1mb, duration extended by reducing aplay rate to eg.22500 hz

2] Journal of the History of Philosophy: Vol. 41, No. 3, July 2003. Aristotle on the Etruscan Robbers: A Core Text of "Aristotelian Dualism," ABRAHAM P. BOS This paper discusses the two texts by Iamblichus and Augustine which speak about human life as a continuous torture or punishment and which are said to originate from one of Aristotle's lost works (Protrepticus, fr. 10b, Ross). A non- Platonistic reading of those texts is proposed. They might be interpreted as a prime example of Aristotelian dualism that holds the soul always to be connected with a special soul-body, which is the soul's instrument. The anthropological view of Aristotle's lost works then appears to be compatible with the one of Aristotle's preserved biological works and even with the one of the De anima.

Pepin points out that pirates tied together the living prisoner with the dead face-to-face, the corpse as a mirror image of the prisoner; a form of copulation [Cicero and Augustine use 'copulatus']. For Pepin this is significant for the Graeco-Roman tradition of the mirror and also a link into the tradition that Dionysus was lured by the Titans with a mirror.

Virgil, drawing on Cicero's Hortensius, makes Evander remember the brutal
acts committed by Mezentius of burying victims alive with a corpse.
