So now that TLS 1.3 is finally standardized, are we gonna start seeing it actually deployed? Cloudflare negotiated 1.3 for at least a while, but I think that was a test, I haven't seen anything but 1.2 anywhere for quite some time.

I just started Count Zero and I like it but it seems to lack the spark Neuromancer had. Does it pick up in pace?

Why do I feel most /cyb/ when I'm trading crypto? I fire up bittrex, binance, cryptopia, get some charts going, start my bot. Got about 4 screens going, playing some mood music from YouTube. I feel like Arthur fucking Jensen. I didn't ask for this.
but yea crypto is VERY internet culture and you're working with something that has tangible value in a digital space
Jason Scott
It's been a long time but I seem to remember it starting off slowly and then getting better. But, I mean come on man. It's never going to be Neuromancer. Still very good though. Yeah, that guy. Haha. Arthur's work is the subject of a different conversation.

I've just finished reading Neuromancer last night, was Matrix was influenced by that novel since it's about going into different worlds?
just about everything is influenced by Neuromancer, its the granddaddy of the genre. how did you like the ending? Wintermute and Neuromancer merging into an omnipotent being made me almost question my atheism kek.

Grayson Jones
I need some books to read besides my school textbooks. I have a monthly ebook sub, but I can't find any good titles worth a shit that will actually teach me something worthwhile. All I see are books for beginners or collections of personal stories/anecdotes. Something more advanced in the cryptography/digital forensics field pref, since that's what I want to do
Kayden Martinez
Are bug bounties worth it?
Daniel Watson
You can get the bounty only once, while you can sell an exploit multiple times :^) If you meant the fun factor, yes, bug hunting it's totally worth it.
not sure if this is the right general but how does one anonymize after years of normie life? Im not looking to get off the grid or hiding from the govt for shady shit. Is it possible to hide from major third party (usually advertising) companies after youve exposed yourself.
I have emails with my name and some old social media account. Even if i delete them, the (((companies))) probably keep the information right?
Isaac Ward
>Even if i delete them There is no such thing as "deletion". Once you gave away your information, it's never gonna be truly "deleted". If you want to start caring about your privacy, start small, install something like uMatrix, understand how it works and why you should use it. Even pihole can help. And not using win10 helps too. If you are only bothered by advertisers, that would work.
Is there any way to accurately figure out the wavelength emitted by (probably infrared) LEDs? One of the cities I frequent is installing what appear to be IR floodlights with license plate reader systems. They might also be just general purpose night-vision cameras.
Take a close picture and reverse image search it. You might find make/model, and dig more into the tech specs.
Isaac Carter
Why of course, this is the number one most comfy thread in here. I guess you must have been away for a while; we have a pretty good FAQ that has been built up the last 6 months or so.
Tyler Lopez
What's the most comfy modern password strategy?
I use a single keepass database shared on multiple comp and my phone. Just had a security alert (finally it was just google that thought my phone was an unknown device.. really strange but yeah.), and changed all my important password. Now almost all the important are protected by 2FA so it wasn't all that important..
I'm thinking having a keepass database for stuff protected by 2FA, important stuff without 2FA with separate password and a third one with all unimportant stuff which has its password in the "important stuff w/o 2FA"
I'd get the 2FA protected db on everydevice, the important stuff backed up in many places but I'd only type the password on linux
Joseph Bell
i had to search for this thread too long so I decided to revive it
im a newfag to this whole topic too so im not sure i'll be able to provide such great news links in the OP if i have to keep it up

Aha, the user who was going to compile all the links? While the FAQ covers a lot of ground, and is still growing, there were many links that are not yet part of it.
For instance one user put up a large collection of screen caps from TRON, I wish those had been put up on the FTP site.
Jackson Watson
>Aha, the user who was going to compile all the links? I posted a Mega I no longer have that had access to all my work as OP. >While the FAQ covers a lot of ground, and is still growing, there were many links that are not yet part of it. It's impressive considering what it was.

Looks like is time to build an information sharing system. This is the age of decentralization, we should be able to use something like GitTorrent to backup and distribute information like the OP.

Gabriel Carter
>OH? Probably but I never got to see it before it went off the net. We have a lot on the FTP site but I never knew what was on OH that was not also on the FTP site. I have an idea, why not share torrents from I2P while we put some thinking on how to share information? It covers a few /sec/ points and is easy to setup so we could all participate. >Accessible information is essential, most new knowledge is built on what is learned. Proquest looks good but also expensive, is there a free version? Dialog is one massive online database, and indexed. Is also centralized and behind a paywall, to have an alternative the community should come up with its own decentralized alternative. The guys behind the Aletheia project attempt at making a distributed scientific journal to exchange academic papers with ipfs, inspired by Aaron Schwartz, and I believe this is the way but we need something for the now so another idea is using just gopher inside I2P and let jugtail index what is out there. A distributed, decentralized information exchange that is also indexed is a juicy idea and is not wishful thinking if we put some effort to it, I wish more people would put some effort so we can all enjoy that.
Isaiah Robinson
>I have an idea, why not share torrents from I2P Around here the ISP flags up any torrent. FTP is safe though.

Essentially an image of your finger is now enough to track you and have you convicted. Biometrics and privacy is not fully appreciated. How soon before someone steals genetic fingerprints as a business model? I'll give it 2 years.

Jack Smith
I have several GB with files that represents some form of knowledge (graphics, PDF, plain text and more) and often I want to locate some of the information for references or inclusion in other documents I work on. Finding these is hard. Sure you can use search but that does not allow for synonyms or typos.
Also annotations is hard. Say I get an email about X and think this is useful for project Y, then I have no way of connecting these other than remembering it as metadata.
Even worse if I have to share knowledge files with colleagues using slightly different terminology and different organisation of files. I have about 10 GB of email in a carefully organised folder structure. Other just put it all in one heap and hope searching will locate what they are looking for. Searching is not enough and it is important that we share information with others.
Then you might be searching for something but you don't quite know the terms used in this field.
And then you multiply this by all the languages used.
"Information wants to be free, " they say, but turning files into useful knowledge is costly.
Austin Watson

>while you can sell an exploit multiple times where would you sell exploits?
Hudson Lee
I can point to the problems. I can say I want a solution that allows me to store, locate, use. reuse and share knowledge.
Trouble is, I do not know how best to do that. The solution will probably be obvious in hindsight but just now I don't know how to do it.
Many systems allow tagging but that depends on a rigorous tagging structure and dictionary which will quickly end up as a straight jacket. And searching is fine if you know exactly what you are looking for but that is not always the case.
The FTP site is becoming a pile of interesting files having for the most part nondescriptive names. And Cyberpunk files are now in two very different parts of the site. And moving Cyberpunk to a subdirectory under Books was a bad move but here we are now.
Justin Williams
the only solution for that is tagging i guess? well that could be done automatically with some sort of AI but thats out of my reach

Jose Lopez
Those are summaries of the news in the previous thread. News are marked up as >=== /sec/ /cyb/ News and tagged with sec or cyb. It is just a coincidence BBC is the only source here, also The Register and LWN have been used in the past.
Those specific news items did not seem overly PC, in fact the one about sex dolls was quite the opposite. In what way do you find BBC questionable?

In any case I don't expect many lies in terms of security when the news is un-PC.
