>Carrying around what appears to be a 14dBdi antenna with you everyday
A 5dBi antenna on an Alfa adapter would be more practical for a true EDC.

>>61062908
Any recommendations?

>>61063016
Alfa AWUSO36NH
It's small and simple and very reliable. I think it comes with a 5dBi antenna but you can always attach a different one if you need longer range. I don't think it supports the 5GHz band frequency but if you're doing long distance work then you'll need to stick to the 2.4GHz band anyways.

This part of the OP should be heavily reconsidered.

>>61063201
Thank you the recommendation and concise answer.

How can I start learning cybersecurity? Should I just learn to use tools in kali linux? What about programming? Do I need to be good at programming.

>>61064471
i'd think the first place to start would be understanding networking technology and how computers work

>>61064501
I know basic stuff about both of them but yeah I will go through them both in depth. After that I think that I should start learning programming.

>>61064563
why not learn programming right now? http://www.diveintopython3.net/installing-python.html

>>61064471
I taught myself everything I know so my recommendations probably are a little lacking in comparison to a professional curriculum, but I'd recommend starting with simple hardware stuff. CompTIA A+ material basically. Study a bit of electrical engineering basics (I mean the real basics like the topics discussed in the book CODE: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software) and install GNU/Linux, preferably as a native OS rather than a virtual machine. Learn about its file system hierarchy and get comfortable with the shell (BASH or ZSH) and learn shell programming. You do need to know programming if you want to be a self sufficient security professional. It's very easy to migrate from shell programming to Python so that's why I recommend you get comfortable with the Linux terminal as writing scripts and using terminal utilities will be important. While learning Linux but perhaps before learning Python, you'll need to learn about networking. Bascially everything that CompTIA's Network+ course covers. In fact, you might even want to get certified in Network+. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials on this material. Professor Messer might be a good starting point. After learning the networking basics, I'd recommend installing the GSN3 VM in VirtualBox and emulating a virtual network to actually put what you learned into practice. Use the VM because you'll want to set up firewalls and other stuff. Study the stuff covered in the CCNA certification exams. Maybe even take the test and get certified. Throughout this time, you should continue with your programming studies. Shell programming and Python are important, but so is learning C, C++, and a bit of Assembly. It's important to actually understand how the Linux Kernel works. Beyond that are the specifics. Becoming familiar with certain shell programs and most of the stuff covered in the Security+, CISSP, and LPIC exams. It's a long road but pretty much all of the material can be learned for free.

>>61067528
You honestly just blew my mind.

Well, this thread has slowed down, again.

>>61068158
its a shame. i dont really have much to contribute. im not working on any projects. im studying a penetration testing book, working my way through it. found a few nice tools and some commands in meterpreter i didnt know.

i went through and finished the bandit series levels on overthewire, that was a fun war game and gave me a lot of linux skills!

in the pipeline, i would like to purchase a 3d printer. will i use it for anything useful? fuck no, but it would be cool to be able to literally construct shit out of nothing.

creating my own pc, using a breadboard and some chips is something i would like to complete.

not sure when.

after i finish this pentesting book, im going to dive into the ccna cyber ops training.

is it a good cert? who knows. all i know is im in general IT atm, where i give people mice and monitors and PXE boot their machines when they break. its not even close to the field i want to be in, so any sort of study/cert is going to make me feel better.

>>61068239
I'm doing something similar, on top of studying physics, mathematics and electrical engineering/computer engineering (along with programming). - I see them all as being very important skills in the not-too-distant future.

>>61068320

I feel it is wrong to seriously suggest encryption of your hard drive as a thing you should do, people should be encouraged to not store data on their computer period, you should consider your computer a public terminal and everything inputted in it should be considered public, if that computer is online.

"Hi, my name is anon.
I post on 4chins so you know I'm a fat computer nerd, like everyone else of 4chins, that's why it is called 4chins as a descripive term for its userbase.
I am a great fan of the FSF and the GNU/Linux family of operating systems, based mostly off of Lord Stallman's fine work.
It is my belief that all non-free software should be become free software (not open source, as that is something entirely different and is only a concept pushed by Linus Torvalds, who only partly aided in the creation of the GNU/Linux family of operating systems).
These newly freed software should also be audited by the finest minds of the FSF-based security community and should be 100% transparent.
Therefore, I am applying to these hallowed halls for a position within a computer security based research fellowship under an FSF certified GNU/Linux CBT trained professor (or better yet Stallman himself). As it is my ambition to become one of the many auditors of the future freed software.
Yours hopefully,
Anon"

Look up what the research group is working on.

If you can, try the Gretzky approach: ask for a research project in the closest thing they are working on that will be the next big thing and NOT what is hot du jour.

That tells them many things
- that you know their work (they like that)
- that you have looked into coming trends (they want someone to hang on in there for the big payoff)
- that you have some ambitions (and will remain in or close to academia).

Who /twister/ here?

A friend of mine, @stman, is building a FLOSS FPGA processor (unless he gave up).

With a bunch of crypto-anarchist friends, he will also likely be releasing a secure endpoint for Bitmessage.

>>61102305
Lots of people make soft core processors for running on FPGAs, just look up Open Cores for tons of existing projects.

Is the idea to use a soft core specifically made for Bitmessage?

>>61103303
No, the idea is to split the Bitmessage software so it can run on two Raspberry Pi connected through SPI, one being isolated from the Internet and on which you would compose and encrypt the messages.

He believes that people target him for his actions and because of a €100M patent he's been stolen.

>>61094902
For setups lile this, how do you do get power to it? Is there something smarter than a powerbank?

>>61103579
>No, the idea is to split the Bitmessage software so it can run on two Raspberry Pi connected through SPI, one being isolated from the Internet and on which you would compose and encrypt the messages.
Could you expand on this please? The advantage is not immediately apparent. The Raspberry Pi has a VideoCore IV GPU that is fairly potent, yet rarely used in applications.

>He believes that people target him for his actions and because of a €100M patent he's been stolen.
Will he claim it back? Since you mention Euro currencies I guess you mean a patent from the EPO. He might be able to use Article 61 EPC:

Thought on deniable boot media, what if you had a laptop with a standard hard drive used for normie shit, and a separate hidden flash drive wired in somewhere, and you could toggle a switch to physically change the Sata interface between the two, so if someone physically inspected the machine they wouldn't even find the other disk unless all casing etc was opened up. Is this even possible?

Any recommendations for IoT-specific security?

Chatted with a long-time industry guy who's convinced it'll be the next big thing in infosec. I think he might be on to something, I can't see people like wearables startups being making security a priority when they just need to get the product out the door. And given that they usually connect to phones in some way...

I'm guessing it requires serious embedded programming knowledge, and that the scripting could be done in lua, which would be top fun

Anyone know where to start looking?

Health data is enormously valuable.

The most obvious one is to insurance companies who would like to know who to deny (health) insurance. There is enormous savings to be made. Also with buzz word compliant big data you will have a wealth of data to determine who are risk takes and who are unlikely to do stupid things.

The second and less obvious use is for big pharma who would like to know large scale health statistics for health analysis. An old example is here:

There are other applicable ones online.

Just got a bitcoin hardware wallet and I'm wondering how I can securely store recovery keys. Anywhere I keep it in my house could be discovered in a raid.

Should I find a place outside my house to store it? That seems unrealistic considering I live in a city. Should I store it in cypher form? How intricate of a cypher would it have to be? More than, say, ROT 13? Should I just destroy the recovery key and hope I don't fuck up?

>>61119327
Get a safe and hide it. Make a concrete mold to store your recovery key in then poke a hole in a wall/ remove a concrete brick. get a water proof container throw it in a pond or lake - the water must be stagnant. Honestly just use your imagination. It's not hard to hide something outside of your house. Just keep in mind if someone sees you going someplace they'll know where to look. Also if you're considering ROT13 as a viable cipher for security you already fucked up. Encrypt it with something infinitely more complex.

who is funding these people without a state? are you saying that google is going to start wars against cities? and further that people are okay with giving them their money? i don't think that this problem has ever actually materialized. the state currently itself amasses an army and conquers populations for their own benefits. everything is done in the interest of "national security" not your security or interests. the state is a separate entity from us. if you doubt any of this then look to how it treats crimes committed by itself vs someone it rules over
