what are you using to connect? It just gives you the password upon connecting

Some guys on 8ch*n had the idea to create a version of the SCP foundation which focuses on cyberpunk themes rather than horror. It sounds like a promising idea, especially considering the current state of SCP. They just set up a temporary site:
ll7lpweihbt6l6i3.onion
Nolan Davis
but RPC already exists
Nathaniel Martin
Any recommended literature to brush up on? I have a flight tomorrow and I have fuckall to do while I'm on board, so I figured it'd be a good idea to take that time to learn
Matthew Cruz
RPC isn't really cyberpunk is it though? Isn't it basically just SCP but without faggy mods?
Is it worth bothering to start working on security at the physical machine level, or is any hardware more or less the same for this?
Zachary Martin

I am going to make a website on I2P. It will be a very small web so it quickly runs through the underground tunnels of I2P. All the site will be is a page full of magnet links to files for people to seed in case of end times. But to make magnet links for I2P, you need I2P to be running. I'm making the website on my laptop. When it's done I'll transfer it to a real website.
My problem is the torrents. If I make, and therefore start seeding the torrents on my laptop before transferring them to the sever, does something bad happen? How can the i2psnark on the server find/recognize torrents that are not added via the interface? Can I just copy my whole /.i2p/ folder on a thumbdrive from the laptop to the server and have it magically work even though the torrents were made on an entirely different computer and not on the server?
>you are using tor right? At first I didn't but then I appended .to to use the gateway but it still does not work.

Just a reminder of the completed storytiming of Wm Gibson's script for Alien3:

Seems outerheaven.space is gone, anyone heard any news?

>Is it worth bothering to start working on security at the physical machine level, or is any hardware more or less the same for this? The Spectre/Meltdown issue showed that there is a lot of potential issues at the lowest levels of the hardware. Architecture considered fro decades to be safe turn out to be STILL generating problems. Fewer people are working on these issues so I guess you would have less competition.
The ME is on a similar level. And we still havem't opened the lid on TCP/IP offloading engines, Ethernet interfaces, Hub chip sets, all of which contain embedded intelligence. Even keyboards, thanks to the A20 thing (how many remember this??) have a lot of potential.
Also check Bunnie Labs on more examples of gaping potential security problems.
Ian Jenkins
What's the A20 thing? Woah.
Leo Ross
The best cybersecurity is achieved by going off the grid.
>What's the A20 thing? In ancient times the PC had limited capacity to drive address lines, and address line 20 (A20) was not connected. Realising belatedly it would come in handy (as bloat was setting in) someone came up with the idea of controlling the A20 line ... from the processor inside the keyboard! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A20_line >The A20 gate is still present on many modern PCs, and the gate is initially closed right after boot. Modern protected-mode operating systems typically open the A20 gate early during the boot process and never close it again. Such operating systems do not have the compatibility reasons for keeping it closed, and they gain access to the full range of physical addresses available by opening it.
Now that sounds promising. And it gets better:
>The Intel 80486 and Pentium added a special pin named A20M#, which when asserted low forces bit 20 of the physical address to be zero for all on-chip cache- or external-memory accesses. It was necessary, since the 80486 introduced an on-chip cache and so masking this bit in external logic was no longer possible. Software still needs to manipulate the gate and must still deal with external peripherals (the chipset) for that.
Eli Green
That sounds like a huge vulnerability.
Christian Lee
Oh goodness. I understood about half of what you said there. I'm just looking to get a new computer, and I figured the question fit better in this thread than in /pcbg/.
Josiah Torres
How about relaxing with some food for thought, like Eudeamon? ftp://collectivecomputers.org:21212/Books/Cyberpunk/eudeamon.pdf
You're a good man, saved me 50 bucks, and enhanced my knowledge of networking. Thanks for being a cool dude, user

>no idea how to upload it Just install Midnight Commander (mc), or use any Linux FTP client. Just remember to set binary mode.
Excellent. Also in the old FTP site at Collective Computers?

=== FAQ News: The FAQ is now updated to Preview 22, the Christmas edition. A copy is dropped into both FTP sites ftp://collectivecomputers.org:21212/Books/Cyberpunk/ ftp://50.31.112.231/pub/
Most parts are now in place but still need more info on the cypherpunks. Were they exterminated? All links seem down. Also to be added is more about Cyberpunk tropes.
BTW why does Google fetishise fire hydrants now? Crashed too many times into one?

Let's say I live in the 20th floor of an apartment complex and I have good LOS from my window to pretty much anything in my city center. Suppose I wanted to be a skiddie and do le ebin leet WPA handshake cracking. Questions; >How anonymous would one be by using other people's access points? How do I achieve the best possible anonimity? A burner machine with no hard drive running Tails off an SD card set to read-only thus physically disconnecting the write pin? >Assuming turd world poorfaggotry, what's a cheap but powerful directional antenna one could make? I have an external USB NIC and harvested the SMA connector alongside the short span of coax within a typical cheap shitty omnidirectional. I have a piece of threaded rod and nuts are cheap, how good is that "wifi gun" design as long as you're not a retard and isolate the driven element?
I just wonder, what is the security like? Backdoors?

One day there will be another Edward Snowden who will tell the world that the NSA will livestream video of your orgasm face via sex dolls and nobody will care.
Cooper Garcia
>and nobody will care True. The new generation are all out exhibitionists who will demand each "session" to be put on YouTube.
It reminds me of the story about the Finnish politician who during the cold war had been recorded by KGB doing naughty things. The KGB, quite confident, showed this politicians the haul and expected "results." Too late they realised things work out differently in Finland, when the Finnish politicians picked out a handful of photos - and asked for enlarged copies.
Tim May, co-founder of the influential Cypherpunks mailing list and a significant influence on both bitcoin and WikiLeaks, passed away last week at his home in Corralitos, California. The news was announced Saturday on a Facebook post written by his friend Lucky Green.
In his influential 1988 essay, "The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto," May predicted that advances in computer technology would eventually allow "individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other" anonymously and without government intrusion. "These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation [and] the ability to tax and control economic interactions," he wrote.
Anyone got good cyberpunk book recommendations? Ive already read the sprawl trilogy, Snow Crash, Mirrorshades and Bladerunner.

overall the quality on Jow Forums posts is very fucking shit, is like literal underages are making posts or retards that watch 24/7 the posts to shill his software/hardware

WIkipedia says he dies of natural causes. He was 67.
Strange really how the cypherpunks are all gone.

Haven't read it, but Neuromancer by Willaim Gibson.
Jonathan Bennett
>Neuromancer That one is part of the Sprawl trilogy.
Try the Bridge trilogy and Blue Ant trilogy by Gibson, or Diamond age by Neal Stephenson. The FAQ lists many books, some are legally freely available.

Another recurring topic: knowledge management. Any suggestions? I have GBs of data but it is getting hard to locate what I know is out there. And we are not talking about pr0n.
Kevin Collins
What are we talking about? Why not keep everything organized so you can find what you're looking for?
Nicholas King
>he thinks the future is cyberpunk, not basedberpunk
there is just not the one you imagine #go #rust #node #bootcamp #karlie
Owen Nguyen
>Why not keep everything organized so you can find what you're looking for? That does not scale. When one document is useful for several issues such as an electronics project and the /cyb/ FAQ, how do I organise it? Or how about documents in several languages?
Please tell me how you organise your files.
Jaxson Kelly
where to start with /cybersec/

Plain HTML, explaining how to get into security as a career. It is one of several FAQs made here in /cyb/.
Caleb Campbell
how does /sec/ do instant messaging? XMPP + OTR? if so what client do you use?
Zachary Howard
Sounds lovely
Noah Davis
can you not use acronyms already used by protocols?
Aiden Brooks

Jaxon Roberts
not traditionally /cyb/, though related, is stephenson's cryptonomicon. probably my favorite of his, very prescient and relevant
Justin Anderson
these threads have been for skiddies in training since the start. None of you are cyberpunks youre just faggots quit making these threads and go back to fortnite.
Cool, literally nobody gives a shit about your opinion. Also, if these threads are for 'skiddies in training' you should be glad they exist because it means we're here instead of the rest of the board. We wouldn't want to disturb your expert, intellectual discussion.
Jacob Hall
Not sure of you already watch, but ghost in the shell stand complex is great. First season is amazing imo. Dives into interactions of society and the internet and sociology impact of internet in general.

Cooper Cooper
a "red-hat" hacker or pen(is)taster
Luis Thomas
And what's wrong with that? Didn't everyone start as skiddy? Every time someone is instaling kali, works himself through "over the wire" or "hack this box", is hanging around in IRC and maybe does a CCENT.. it's one more for the resistance
