/cyb/ and /sec/ general: cyberpunk and cybersecurity

I kinda really wanna know if that anon ever got his computer fixed.

>>60361906
Which one?

>>60361863
This it the article if anyone is interested.

The one that had malware on his dile boot win7, win10 pc

>>60362196
Isn't that everyone right now?

>>60362317
Why would you want to use weaker machines to encrypt anything?

>>60362604
What are you encrypting and how are you storing it then?

>>60362317
one time I tried to implement AES in assembly on a 386

I failed horribly

>>60362857
If you have to ask, then thays proof enough.

>>60363091
No it isn't. I could say that I write codes into a dream journal that nobody can decypher except for me, but it takes me 30 minutes to encrypt/decrypt a single paragraph of text. What would be a useful application of that that couldn't better be handled by a modern computer?

>>60362857
>What are you encrypting
uhhh child pornography, what else doust one encrypt?

>>60363182
Because you use that same idea of the journal, but you also use a Commodore64 with a 1542 disk drive you write to a 5.25" floppy.

If someone wants some info (which is hard to unknow at this point) on the cyberattack just tell me. I was wotking when it happened.

is searx any better than startpage?

>>60364735
They're both shit, what's wrong with DDG?

>>60364735
>>60366472
OP recommends both DDG and searx.

We're having hard times recovering the PCs lol

>>60362246
Not me, I am using GNU

>>60362317
For a moment I was fooled this image was from the 80's. Great job anon.

Shit that looks comfy.

Reminder for next OP to change to superior /sec/ resources. https://pastebin.com/UY7RxEqp

>>60364735
startpage gives more or less google's results, which are generally better than any other privacy focused search engine. DDG is faster thoough

>>60363198
Most startups by far start in stealth mode and what we work on here is deep stealth, airgap and no telephone conferences, eyes only. FAX, cloud services, gmail etc are quite verboten.

>>60368541
Enough for what, exactly? /sec/ how? If you're coming from Windows then basically anything *nix will be more /sec/.

I'd start with Mint or Ubuntu though if you're looking for one to jump to in full. Some people might disagree, but as you learn more you'll almost certainly install something else you like the sound of anyway, so you might as well get comfy with Mint / Ubuntu.

>>60371412
Left. No, right.

>>60371412
Both.

Continuing from last thread about knowledge management - after all knowledge is power.

>>60351612

Sure, I'd be interested. Dropping to pastebin?

It's called /fucko/, newfag.

>>60371412
Use the insides of your left arm if you are right handed. That makes use more comfy.

Why are there two lains now?

>>60377405
Oldfags were tired of all the soycaf and normies invading, and the admin sold the thing, I think. They even erased /cyb/. So they created the new one.

>>60377441

So now there are two lains, here, eight cyber, and jinteki.

>>60377735
First lain doesn't have /cyb/ anymore. It has /cult/ as in culture, so there's tons of non-cyber shit in there.

>>60377806

Did all of the old cyber stuff go to /sec/?

>>60377845
As far as I know, everything was lost. You could still access /cyb/ for some months after being hidden, but they eventually deleted it.

>>60377915

There is a difference between privacy and secrecy. Secrets must also be private, but not all private information is secret. Private information should also be encrypted.

>>60385959
Signal is definitely better than telegram and the go-to messaging app for phones. Even though it has its downsides like being 100% centralized and I believe it still requires you to link your account to a phone.

Unknown.

I inquired here on an earlier thread but got no responses. It just lives on in the pastas and archive.org (I checked). Not sure about the maintainer, she never responded either and now I cannot remember her name either (sounded Nordic-ish).

>>60362017
>http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2003-08/man-who-mistook-his-girlfriend-robot
OK so let's look 10 years onto the future: robots with reasonable AI is as common as cell phones. They do everything old fashioned housewives did in the 1960's, ironing your shirts, making food, the works.

And they will be tapped by intelligence agencies.

They were on 8chán's /cyber/ a few days ago: "I had to take it down when I started moving. As with every year, I'm out of the country for a while. I'll throw it on a VPS before I leave for good."

>>60390658
It has been several weeks now, a bit early for a holiday?

>>60362330
The clue os not weaker machines but older machines. Specifically before three letter agencies started filling up hardware with backdoors the customers have no idea about.

Watch the brouhaha over the Intel management system. Now imagine that is also in routers, switches, ethernet ports, SCSI interfaces, CMOS memory etc.

A 30 years old 6502 system is pretty comfy.

Any cybergoths here?

What is it about, a neat way to wear facemasks and colourful latex? Genuinely curious.

>>60362330
Slow encryption is in some senses good encryption. You avoid some side channel attacks, and short of building an FPGA or your own dedicated ASIC for encryption, and then compiling a custom kernel in such a way that special CPU encryption instructions are redirected to your FPGA, you have no choice but to use what is probably backdoored hardware.

The other thing you can do is buy Russian hardware. You'll be backdoored, but it won't be by American intelligence agencies, that much is for certain.

>>60393615

Degenerate.

As in crypto fetishists

Security through obscurity
It's probably one of the best methods.

Why is there only one male? Does this species really have that high female to male ratio?

>>60396140
Apparently.

If you store emails on disk with a client like Thunderbird what level of compromise can a malicious email cause? I assume the only thing stored is packaged html and plaintext which would have to be rendered and interacted with to do anything harmful. Winshit defender will flag what it thinks are malicious messages in your local folder however which makes me wonder how much of a problem they could be

I can't really find info on what the sec risks are of storing email locally (wdseml files). Anyone with knowledge in this domain capable of providing input?

>Set up DNSCrypt
>Everything seems to be running properly
>Run a DNS leak test
>Comcast servers all the way down
What am I missing here? Why is my computer querying Comcast DNS servers rather than the ones I selected?

>>60398635
cat /etc/resolv.conf
on both your router and your main machine


maybe if your DNScrypt setup is incorrect it's falling back to cuntcast?

>>60398674
I'm tinfoiling my mother's computer at the moment, so Windows. I tracked the problem to the DNS Suffix settings and changed it, but now I'm getting a list of Google servers instead of Comcast. That's a lot better, but I'm still not sure why it's not using the servers I chose with DNSCrypt.

>>60398926
sorry, I have no clue about the inner working of DNS on Windows

I just point any Windows client to a local DNS server that's configured properly. Never had a more complicated setup but then again I don't use DNS crypt

It doesn't even make sense to me why your machine is falling back to random name servers that are not the primary ones configured you assumedly configured in the GUI.

>>60398926
The answer to "why is Windows broken?" is "it's Windows".

The way to do this is at the router level, if you have to deal with Windows boxes. Give them a default gateway and tell them to use it for DNS, then set up DNSCrypt on said router.

>>60399262
>The way to do this is at the router level
Comcast router/gateway, kek. It's locked to Comcast DNS servers, but apparently I can still change to Google servers at the OS level. I got everything working properly on my Android phone as well, so I know it's not the router intercepting my DNS requests.

>>60399543
the nicest thing you could do for your mother is call them up and bridge that consumer tier shit to some proper networking equipment (assuming cuntcast still allows this)

>>60399740
Wait, is this actually a service ISPs offer for residential customers? I never figured that was even an option.

>>60399828
back when I had cuntcast they offered it although it's an obscure option I had to request. This was a residential line. Had that shit bridged to good gear. I would imagine they still offer it because people can't put up with their trash hardware.

One more protip:
I stopped using cuntcast the second they started threatening me with caps here. Switched to a local ISP that is faster and cheaper with no caps and I bring my own modem and networking gear. Never had a problem.

>>60396140
>Why is there only one male
Not sure latex and neon colouring become males.

>>60398539
I am no expert but I know there are plenty of sub systems that trawl local disks all the time, including indexers and anti-malware tools. The letter group has been shown time and again to be in a bad shape in terms of security so it is possible a specially crafted mail file will induce a buffer overflow in such a program in which case you have a local problem going with most likely administrator privileges.

Use a IMAP server and you have a better control about what will touch those files.

>>60393615
Apparently they are on the decline.

I read somewhere that the ubiquitous face masks were covered on the insides with wicks soaked in various chemicals. So liver and kidneys probably packed in and the cybergoths had to call it a day. And call the doctor.

I recently aqcuired a wifi pineapple mark v in a very dsytopian method, what should I do with it?

>>60404321
Are you by any chance near Langley or Fort Meade?

>>60404443
no, uk

why?

>>60404453
Those would be particularly challenging areas for testing out such a device.

BTW the UK also has pretty draconian laws for things like this. It seems a little feudal in some ways.

>>60405360
what do you mean challenging? I can test it out at home and I have several computers to use it with, what do you recommend I try?

Also how much is this even worth?

>>60404321
What even are these things?
Access points with some web based software for noobs?

>>60405397
I mean those are two areas where really well known intelligence agencies reside. Using such a device there, which may well contain back doors not publicly known yet, will raise red flags like a matador.

If you decide to try it do make sure absolutely no signals leak outside your home. These agencies are not famous for their sporty sense of humour.

>>60405489
>What even are these things?
It is a device specifically designed to set up as a fake WIFI hotspot and a platform for man in the middle attack.

Strangely BBC once again has an article on topic:

bump from page 10

>>60408667

>>60375816
wtf are you talking about?

How safe is Veracrypt on windows 10? Long story short, I stopped dual booting on my main PC because windows 10 couldn't do sleep mode due to lack of windows based bootloader. I still have the encrypted file containers I made with Linux (Ubuntu MATE 16.04). I blocked Veracrypt in the firewall. I'm assuming Im still at risk of having my passwords leaked to MS?

I have nothing super important. Plain text file of all my passwords and usernames.

>>60411750
I am not sure marrying /cyb/ with /sec/ was a complete success. When it again (>>60411420) falls to page 10 it seems it lacks the necessary visibility.

The combo is about as dead as cybergoths.

>>60413889
Well at least /sec/ has a more stable place to be in. Which is something to be thanked considering threads used to die early.

Can I have some tips on going from full green to full blue in grc.com? I would be very glad to learn more about Windows 10 native firewall.

>>60413889
>>60415047
What do you suggest then? I don't see how separate threads would be more successful, but I could be wrong.

>>60416501
I don't think we have an issue with being here. The only issue is the lack of population on both generals.

Is infosec a rewarding and/or lucrative field to get into?

I ask because I reckon there'll be a lot of infosec business after the ransomware shit dies down. Banks are also gonna need it more and more as they automate more of their bitchwork.

Is it worth getting into?

>>60416860
Yes.
