/cyb/ + /sec/ - Cyberpunk and Cybersecurity General

For the sake of bumping, I will be creating the server general in a few hours or so. Feel free to pass in.

Nigga Snowden is not a documentary.

You hate snowden?

No, I hate stupidity. Is the Social Network a documentary?

>people used to embed their real names, phone numbers, and postal addresses into the metadata of tracker mod files
I weep for the innocence that was lost.

Does it matter? it makes the public watch it & take notice of the problem.
If I dumped a ton of reading information and or general documentaries about the subject on some faggot, I doubt they would care.

After I made a girl I know watch the bootleg documentary about Snowden, she started to care more about he issue, which is exactly what it's meant to do

Which documentary is the one I keep seeing the screenshot of Rms in what looks like a university he looks really young.

No, of course not.

I had a look. Both pastes are from 2017, many fields remain unwritten. I think you need to look a bit closer on that - a good FAQ is important to build a community in the general.

The last edit I did on the FAQ was on NOV 18th. Changed news and the HDD part.
>Community
Every time I've tried to improve the FAQ everybody got salty and sperged about me instead of helping so.

>Every time I've tried to improve the FAQ everybody got salty and sperged about me instead of helping so.
Sorry to hear that. then again the /cyb/ FAQ also took years to reach the present state.

Why not take the /cyb/ FAQ, rip out the text and keep the framework, pour the pastes into it for easier reading? Then dedicate each general thread to one section?

There is a fair bit of info you can take from tldp.org which is old but still useful.

just put in brackets that it's actually a biopic for the sake of accuracy if you're gonna keep it in the docu section

Ignore trolls, those comments are not there to help your thread. Is like one of the rules of being an OP.

I know lol, but if 70% of the early posts are just salty trolls you can't make a thread of it.

I remember when /fglt/ started, it was a war.

Once you get the ball rolling, even if using sock puppets, others will feel the FOMO and you are golden.

Which one is that?

=== /cyb/ /sec/ News:
The painneve ends.
>Google admits error over hidden microphone
bbc.com/news/technology-47303077
>Google has acknowledged that it made an error in not disclosing that one of its home alarm products contained a microphone.

>Product specifications for the Nest Guard, available since 2017, had made no mention of the listening device.

There are many reports of people seeing ads out of the blue on things they have discussed with others and not actively searched for. We are still waiting for an admission here.

>home alarm products contained a microphone
>users didn't know

... and Google regrets the error. The error being that they were caught.

In cases like this I always wonder what we have yet to find out. Had you told this to people in 1984 they would just have laughed hysterically. Today it is only a minor headline.

who even needs a memory hole in 2019

>be 24, wasted last 5 years on mental fuckery and weed
>zoomered myself out of my own passions and hobbies
>option a) spend up to £70000 and 4+ years finishing off A levels and doing a comp networking degree
>option b) get a driving license, buy a shitty car and deliver food until I can get a better one and drive a cab/uber, maybe begum self-employed electrician, learn everything /cyb/+/sec/ on my own via resources
anybody Jow Forumsot any input?

Option c) Kill yourself

of course by 'spend' I mean go in debt, Idk how viable student loans are for wastegash like me anyway

considered this many times but negative, had best friend kill himself 4 years ago, unfortunately I have people to whom I can't do the same

do you guys use keybase?
how do you manage your keys?

I use lastpass. I know, I'll probably get some shit because it's proprietary, but it has had security audits and from my research (which might be outdated) some of the open source alternatives had proven flaws. And so far it works for me.
I'm not married to lastpass though and would change if given a compelling reason.

Oh wow. I'm retarded. I read KEYPASS not KEYBASE. Ha, ha

Pretty much what you said. Drafting and checking compliance of network devices with company's security configuration guidelines. Developing and implementing new security features senior infosec management wants to roll out on network devices (updated firewall rules, VPNs, DDoS protection like Cloudflare). Checking logs. Internal pentest is definitely a separate team though.

If you've got the will, just save yourself 60k and get a networking cert. Cisco, AWS, I think juniper has one. This takes more initiative and indepdence than schooling because there's no outside pressure to motivate you, but it'll save you a few hundred thousand in real plus opportunity cost. Get something you can wave in front of an employer, don't care about advanced shit (it's normal to do it with the company, many will even sponsor you).

What job you do meanwhile doesn't matter. If you can, try to scope out some basic IT stuff.

Interesting, yet often forgotten about note in a blog: A Speaker is not so much different from a microphone and can be used as such.

>Xinhua unveils world's first female AI news anchor

That lip sync tho

>A Speaker is not so much different from a microphone and can be used as such.
True. Nevertheless you need the electronics to support it. So in addition to the DAC to drive the loudspeaker you need an ADC to listen in with.

Google already makes several chips, perhaps they make something for this too.

Thanks man

Making their own chips can also mean they do not trust normal suppliers.

np

For more retro feel how about add Computer Chronicles in Tv shows

What do you anons use to check executable files apart from common sense (certificates, file size, etc.)?
I'm using Windows Defender scan, but I'm sure that's not the best option.

>Windows Defender

yep. That and VirusTotal. I don't know if there's anything better out there that isn't just a business trying to scam old people.

I would put those files on a Linux box and scan them with ClamAV.

thanks user; I'll give that go

On occasions I have used the Unix command strings to extract printable strings from executables to see what is inside. Strings such as "Muahaha" and "ЯUSSIAИ" can be bad signs.

Hardware encryption or filesystem encryption for USB drive for storing my private keys?

what's your thread model?
Usually you're fine either way, even if hardware encryption is somewhat frequently in the news because their implementation are flawed

Aaaaaaaaaaand is dead

>what's your thread model?
Sorry for being autist, but what do you mean by thread model?

you usually evaluate from whom you want to keep your stuff safe from, satan.
common thugs are repelled by ROT13, agencies certainly are not

Oh you meant threat model.
What's something the military will have trouble cracking?

whoops, didn't even realize that typo until now
there'll always be ways around safety measures.
If someone has physical access, it gets even harder to employ safety. But I guess if you mess with them, they won't jump those hoops - a rubber hose will get them what they want to know

You mean you didn't check the source for the /cyb/ FAQ?

Attached: 1475147064143.gif (240x320, 3.27M)

is there a matrix room for the general?

A lot of people here are sceptical about the various chat systems since they are known to mine everything for use in targeted advertising. And that is pretty much as far from /cyb/ and /sec/ as you can get.

I wouldn't worry about them forcing anything out of me. As is standard, cyanide ready in mouth and house hooked with IoT explosives with an activator in my shoe.
Fuck it I'll just get some hardware encrypted USB and put an encrypted filesystem on it. What could go wrong.

Option D exists if you are an American- enlist in the Army as a 17C (Cyber Operations Specialist) or navy as a CTN (Cryptologic Technician - Network) and be prepared to learn ~6 years of info in the 6 months following basic training.

Basic isn't hard. The school you will be going through if you go this route is. The military will pay you and pay for you to go through this class, which earns you 33 college credits, then, once you pass, will pay you and pay for you to go to school/take classes online, and earn your degree and/or certifications. You also get a TS/SCI clearance and when you get out of the military, you can land a 6 figure job with damn near anyone.

That is, if you want to get out. Roughly 80% of this school's graduates end up doing boring defense/forensics things. 20%, however, get to do and know things that are highly classified and very much illegal for anyone else.

But matrix is open source and decentralized, how is that not enough?

You should stick to the changes you make instead of listening to the trolls. You could remake the whole FAQ and put the old one on Pastebin so people still have access to it. Updated info will definitely bring more anons one of these days. And I'll start bumping the thread fro now on dear user.

Over at /co/ they are storytiming Wm. Gibson's Alien3 script:

not that user, but if I were to do option D, do I get to watch anime while I'm not in class?

This is the right answer.

If the FAQ is split between the two pastes
pastebin.com/XYYp9TAC
pastebin.com/SXuHp12J
I can prime a FAQ with this and format it, and also place it on the FTP site. There is a lot of more work to be done but I cannot do more than this since I am working on the /cyb/ FAQ still.

Windows Defender is some of the best software on the market, and it's stock on the box. If you're running Windows, there's literally no reason to pay for AV software.

that wasnt me, but anyways, why should i join YOUR meshnet instead of the 300 others?

Because the picture isn't my meshnet and I specifically mentioned joining a local group.

>local group
what makes you think one of those exists?

There should be one in your city, if not create one.

is MalwareBytes a meme or am I just a zoomer?
>inb4 both

Ok I'm going to ask here since I am not sure where else to ask.

So I did a network scan (ping method) on my network with my android phone. I noticed when I can the subnet for wired connections I dont see any devices, only when I scan specific ip address for the wired device (same method, pinging)

I haven't tried with my laptop, using debian or whatever, but what could possible cause this? Scanning too fast maybe?

Once upon a time anti-malware and anti-spyware were two applications recommended to be installed together, not sure about now. MalwareBytes was the recommended anti-malware.

I alway check the hash of a file on virustotal. They have a uploader tool and I often upload any pdf/exe before I run that shit on my computer

Revise Option A and go to an international university for a CS degree. Aim for one of those free universities in Germany, Belgium, or Italy for decent quality. Spend 4 years enjoying yourself abroad, banging hot European chicks while working part-time doing whatever you'd like to pay for food and an apartment. Better yet, get some room mates to enrich the experience.

Better yet, get some certs on the way to make yourself a better prospect when you hit the market. You'll have enough spare time to get a few good ones so aim for the best first. CCNA is a no-brainer.

Give me one reason why I should read this piece of shit.

So you finally got bullied enough to stop using discord? Excellent.
