  1. ok first of all you need to specify which S3 device youre talking about, and which nexus device. there are probably about 15+ nexus devices and about as many S3 devices. you need to compare specs to specs. saying "S3 has better hardware than nexus" doesnt make any sense. theres are samsung nexus devices, asus nexus devices, LG nexus devices, and HTC nexus devices.

    what exactly is it that you want from your device? answer that, then you can pick the device for you.

    By S3, I mean the Samsung Galaxy S3, which outshines (hardware/spec wise) any current Nexus, all brands included. If you disagree, please supply me with a link to the Nexus it doesn't beat. And yes, I know there are several Nexuses (Nexi?).

    I do agree that the OP needs to be more specific with what he wants in a phone in order to get better help. Then again, he said he likes to dabble, by which I still recommend the Nexus, by which I mean the latest Nexus which fits your needs.

  2. So basically your third sentence violates your first.... :rolleyes:

    What I meant, and probably should have phrased it as, only run MITM attacks and DNS spoofing against notified, and with approval from, clients. Otherwise it's illegal. As for actually seeing the Pineapple perform its base function (having clients who connect to open SSID's connect to the Pineapple instead), go to a public place. He said he wasn't seeing anyone connect. That part isn't illegal.

  3. Hi folks, im ready for an upgrade and looking at the S3, the Nexus and a few HTC models.

    Is it just a personal preference choice, or does one stand out.

    I noticed the guys at Hak5 were given s3's but seem to be back using Nexus, so is the Nexus a better choice?

    Any help would be great.

    Sawks.

    Depends on what you use it for. The S3 has better hardware, but the screen is too big for my taste. I dabble in Android development and hacking, and will now only buy future Nexuses (Nexi?). Reason being is they will get updates first and be supported longest, and they're ridiculously easy to root and flash custom firmware on it. I do like the HTC phones (good hardware on some, don't like the removable battery on others), but certain carriers disable rooting via the easy way, and you have to rely on hacks to get rooted, which takes awhile to develop.

  4. Using port 22 is safe, as long as you've configured your router correctly. You said you're using keys, and not passwords, but make sure you're only using authorized keys, and not just any. To be extra safe, you want authorized keys only, plus passwords, but that's usually overkill unless you're paranoid or in a high risk environment.

    As for using a different port other than 22, that's referred to as Security through obscurity. I was taught against it because of the basics. If your basics are flawed, no amount of secrecy will save you. And if your system is secure, secrecy won't help since you're good.

  5. I tend to seed when I'm not at the computer and/or using the internet. I haven't had time to take it for a spin, but at least my share ratio is averaged at 3.1

  6. Please let me know when and if you get it downloaded, So I know it's working.

    Currently downloading (and have been for a couple of days). Slow, but that's to be expected with so few peers. Will report back when it's done.

  7. TrinityRescueKit can also image/clone with mclone. I don't particularly like Mint for the simple reason it's understaffed. If someone has a sick day or two, the whole project can grind to a halt. For beginner friendly distros, I recommend Fedora, which is essentially a testing bed for Red Hat. It's backed by a corporation so a lot of the bugs tend to get ironed out, if not before it gets to Fedora, definitely soon after so it won't affect RHEL. If you really want to learn, try Arch Linux, which starts you on the command line and you install and configure everything. Sounds scary first, but the wiki and documentation is top notch. All you have to do is read, and it will teach you a lot about Linux.

  8. Hey everyone, saw the post here and thought I would share what I have been using. I had an entire cabinet full of cables and other junk so put it to good use.

    not the best way of doing it but didnt have to buy anything extra parts. all of the cables were either in the drawer or came originally with the anker chargers.

    still testing the battery life on the setup. It stayed on for at least 5 hours while I played around on it. The batteries had 2/4 lights on 1 and 4/4 lights on 2. The anker batteries run warm, but the snow lizzard dont really warm up at all.

    2 anker battery packs

    2 snow lizzard battery packs

    usb hub

    usb squid hub

    sandisk micro usb

    rp-sma extender for the larger antenna

    briefcase

    might go get some better cables to make it a little more tidy, anyone got any suggestions?

    Thanks for the new inspiration for my rig. Now I feel unprofessional with my backpack. Tried going through airport security with that thing, yet? I would love to see the security detai's faces.

  9. Chrome has a feature called "Incognito mode"

    a) Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito aren't recorded in your browsing and download histories.

    B) All new cookies are deleted after you close all incognito windows that you've opened.

    c) Changes made to your Google Chrome bookmarks and general settings while in incognito mode are always saved.

    And Chrome has an even better extension called ScriptNo (their version of NoScript from Firefox). A bit of a pain since you have to enable certain sites, otherwise they won't work. But once everything is setup, it's pretty nice.

    I would use these two accounts from two different browsers, (firefox and chrome), with both having their ScriptNo/NoScript extensions and running two different proxies. Redundancy is never bad.

  10. I'd steer clear of ESET products, I've gotten several n00b payloads past NOD32.

    I used to either Kaspersky or ESET, but I experienced the same thing. A lot of payloads, such as the ones found in Switchblade, got past ESET but not Kaspersky. Granted, I have never managed either of those two from a business perspective, just my home computer. Before I switched jobs, we used Symantec but were in the process of switching over to McAfee.

    This site is also good to see about it's effectiveness. http://www.av-comparatives.org/
