  1. Thanks for the fast response, appreciate it! Aha, poor phrasing on my part. I did say as "secure as possible" somewhere though Basically if I wanted to invest in a dedicated firewall (which I probaby dont need) I'd be best purchasing a new firewall/router? They were just questions that dwinder in the back of my mind when I think about network security and securing my own network, don't know too much about it at all hence the amount of questions! Very interesting. These systems would be run on an independent machine that you route all of your traffic through right? For the sake of an example say I would have a spare PC passing all of the traffic from a few personal computers so it can scan the packets/data etc then exit to my main router. What I meant by the idea of setting up another LAN is so I could run all of my machines connections through a different router configured to connect through a VPN (ensuring all traffic goes through VPN) and other devices that don't require the VPN connection can run through the other router. Not sure how something like that would work with IP's and everything, will have go off and do some research! Thanks for your help.
  2. Hey! In my opinion I like the whole gay plot, it helps you understand so much more about Tyrell's character & the whole corporate setting they're in where being a gay executive so high up in a corporation the size of Evil Corp it would be very taboo. You can notice this more in the conversation his staff were having in the latest episode where he fires them. So I think they're trying to represent the mentalities that people have in corporations at the top of the food chains, where the only thing they respect is money & power. However I also really like how it builds up the whole dynamic with his wife and how they're both there to "play the game" and will do anything to get to the top of the chain, very similar to the relationship in House Of Cards. Your average upper-class self-aware power couple! It's all character building, it plays an important role in the long-run! Really interested to see where it all goes from here.
  3. Recently I've been putting a lot of time into researching how to protect my privacy online after really being made aware of the issues surrounding the internet nowadays. After watching a few documentaries & doing some independent research, it really got me paranoid (as it should with everyone) with our ever degrading boundries of online & personal privacy and how our corrupt governments are attempting to censor & control the internet. As such I've taken major steps in attempting to maintain my privacy and in doing so it really got me passionate about security in general & also the hacking culture. The last few days of mine have been really spent researching how to make my systems as secure as possible & what the best environment is for practicing hacking & maintaining a secure system with as much anonymity/privacy as possible, any tips would be handy! I've got a Macbook 13.3 inch late 2014 model & I want to use this mainly over my desktop for the majority of my programming & "hacking" however I want to know a few things about what to do. First things first, I want a completely secure environment & I'm not sure I really want to boot linux onto my macbook however this could be an option if it's completely significant. I have seen a few hackers using a macbook pro as their laptop and I'm not sure how they use it as their environment, it would most likely be through a dual boot I assume or what are they using? If so what linux distro would be best for this? I was considering arch-linux allowing me to build my system from the ground up without unneccesary functions. More advice on this would be wonderful! Quickfire questions: Best modifications of firewall (or firewalls depending on if it's best to purchase other firewall software with much more control/customisation or can i operate this through the console?) to prevent the box from calling home to the mother-ship? Best way to route ALL internet traffic on laptop through OpenVPN? (Currently using a VPN service with OpenVPN GUI software) Best ways of reducing/eliminating OS fingerprint? Removing OSX, Default app services that make my laptop vunerable? Best way to setup content scanning capabilities to monitor ex-filtration of unintended data (credit cards, personal info, client info, anonymization, etc)? Disabling location services/apple ID through the console in anyway? Not sure if this is possible. Best active exploit detection software such as IDS, AV etc. Really securing my whole network? I don't know but I was thinking more like setting up a second LAN on my home modem not sure what logic would go into that? Could do with any suggestions if you understand what I'm saying! Overall, can OSX be a genuinely viable & secure hacking environment and what is your advice? PS: Specifically I want to be able to use the latop with the WiFi Pineapple etc, write scripts, pentest, do some network snooping and access a few shells. All things hacking!
