>>108148487>Monero is pozzedHuh? How so?
>>108148975In his imagination. The issue is that these people are using Bitcoin to shift the funds back to and from Monero, which, as the article notes, can be traced with heuristic methods. If they had just let the money sit in a Monero wallet for a few years and then slowly pulled it out, they would have most likely been fine. Even better still if they had received it directly in Monero from the get go then it would have been truly untracable.

>>108151615>Is it worth going into cybersec these daysNah, come back home white man and go into plumbing, soldering or some other job that can't be easily automated by AI
>>108153516>job that can't be easily automated by AIHow long until humanoid robots will be able to do most of the trades? Tools are made for humans so humanoid robots will make for smooth replacement. And they will work 24/7.
>>108153557The end will be extinction no doubt, but a trade can earn you at least 10 years of freedom
>>108152061Becca is my favorite modern cyberpunk girl. I think she's a really fun character. Do you think such a setting uses GNU?
>>108153516as most things, it's a skill question. Are you going to be good enought to advance with AI or are you going to be rolled over ? Same things go with trade since the industrial revolution. Top 5% survive, the rest just become different kinds of slaves
>>108152061that's just the internet background noise. As for what they do, C2 bots, DDoS, crypto-mining, VPNs, malware distribution, whatever, there's a ton of possibilities. If you wanna waste their ressources, go the tar pit way
>>108153870What do you think will be the trend for that 5% trying to become corpos? Will they fund more AI or its just a bubble waiting to pop? And what comes after AI?
>>108153579it will be 5-10 years tops before those jobs are done by robots. only top tier experts will be left.
>>108153941What do you intend to do, anon?
>>108154265Sell my pussy in Craigslist.
>>108154280If so give me a tip when you do. I already sell my boipussy to old men in order to buy computer parts like a true cyberpunk
>>108151615yes. but focus on blueteam instead of redteam. redteam will be eaten by AI unfortunately.
>>108154265i will work in cybsec because i have talent
>>108154463So what's the point if AI scans everything and looks for vulnerabilities itself?
>>108153516>automated by AIThis just in>The AI productivity take-off is finally visiblehttps://archive.is/z4HEc>For over a decade, economists have grappled with a modern iteration of the Solow Paradox: we have seen artificial intelligence everywhere except in the productivity statistics. Sceptics argue that the reason for this is that modern innovation in machine learning systems and now generative AI pale in comparison to the great inventions of the past. However, the latest benchmark revisions from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest the statistical fog may finally be lifting.So the hype is over. And in figures:>Data released this week offers a striking corrective to the narrative that AI has yet to have an impact on the US economy as a whole. While initial reports suggested a year of steady labour expansion in the US, the new figures reveal that total payroll growth was revised downward by approximately 403,000 jobs. Crucially, this downward revision occurred while real GDP remained robust, including a 3.7 per cent growth rate in the fourth quarter. This decoupling — maintaining high output with significantly lower labour input — is the hallmark of productivity growth.>My own updated analysis suggests a US productivity increase of roughly 2.7 per cent for 2025. This is a near doubling from the sluggish 1.4 per cent annual average that characterised the past decade.Long story short: more is done with fewer people.
>>108154693So...what will be the next bubble? Robots? Biotech?
>>108154746Probably both - fuelled by AI. People have already looked into using LLM AI to design virus that kill specific ethnicities. On a more peaceful note, robots with AI will probably be commonplace in 10 years.

>>108154310I don't even know what this means

>>108157869Simply put, AI has zero common sense. And it is not clear that LLM is even capable of that.
>>108159752it doesn't think, it regurgitates with some randomness and if you press it, it will flip on itself.
>>108153889>hey fund more AI or its just a bubble waiting to pop? And what comes after AI?too early to say anything meaningful. I am part of that 5% and well, I do have to run on the threadmill not to get outed. Seing what happens in other well funded corps, top guys do the work of industrialization, pushing more burden paradoxically on people below (like you have to be way more efficient as things accelerate). That's what i'd say awaits us ofr the next 5 years. Now what will actually happen, wether the "bubble bursts" and everyone is in a hellhole as no one can use AI for a reasonable cost anymore, or capacities just skyrocket and people are considered cattle, i don't know. Only thing I know is to keep building and trying to stay on top of that tech as much as possible, honing your personnal skills in prep for the two outcomes>>108154517it's not yet able to find complex chains in black box envs. It's going to be eventually, but the "moat" reduces. Code analysis is getting automated, but it still lacks business understanding and ability to reason over a lot of hops (like actual sec research for now). That's why there's a lot of work on autonomy and long running harnesses.
>>108160379we're already cattle, but some produce more milk.it's all about tokens. if they can get to 5m tokens, ai will do some cool things.

At least 24 financing rounds for BCI start-ups were completed in the first 11 months of 2025, up 30 per cent from a year earlier, according to Dongmaicheng data.>“Chinese companies are moving very aggressively to get these devices into patients and find more applications,” said Max Riesenhuber, a neuroscientist and expert on BCIs at Georgetown University.So, are the test subjects entirely colunteers? Or political dissidents? After all they called this aggressive.>Neuralink has said its technical innovations mean its devices do not have the same scarring issue thanks to microscopic threads, each one-tenth the thickness of a human hair, which are stitched precisely into the brain to avoid sensitive tissues.>Neuralink has also said multiple trial participants have reached and exceeded 10 bits per second — a measure of how quickly neural information can be decoded — compared with up to 5.2 bits per second announced by NeuroXess. Faster speeds are required for more complex tasks such as turning thoughts into speech.So Neuralink is ahead, at least for now.Also:https://www.ft.com/stream/eb657eec-fe51-47dc-95d6-2822b83932ef

Friedrich Merz’s Push to End Online Anonymity Has a Troubling Subtextby Christina Maas February 19, 2026https://reclaimthenet.org/friedrich-merzs-push-to-end-online-anonymity-has-a-troubling-subtext>German Chancellor Friedrich Merz wants to end online anonymity.>Speaking Wednesday evening at an event held by his conservative Christian Democrats in Trier, he called for mandatory real names across social media and floated a potential ban on platforms for users under 16.>“I want to see real names on the internet. I want to know who is speaking,” Merz said.>The framing is the same as usual; protect democracy, protect children. What Merz left out is worth examining closely.>Germany’s criminal code is already a problem. Sections 185 through 187 criminalize insults, malicious gossip, and defamation against ordinary citizens. Those carry fines or prison sentences capped at two years for insults and malicious gossip, five years for defamation.>Section 188 covers the same offenses when directed at politicians. The penalties are steeper across the board: three years maximum for insults, mandatory prison time with a five-year ceiling for malicious gossip (minimum three months), mandatory prison time with a six-month floor and five-year ceiling for defamation. No fine option.>Politicians use these laws. Merz uses these laws. He has filed hundreds of complaints himself. CDU politicians and others flag thousands of posts to prosecutors annually, and German police conduct hundreds of raids each year for insults and alleged “hate speech.” The infrastructure for going after ordinary citizens who criticize their representatives already exists and is already in active use.>What a real name mandate does is remove the last barrier between a critical post and a knock on the door. Right now, authorities have to work to identify anonymous speakers. With real names required by platform policy, that step disappears.
EU Defends Censorship Law While Commission Staff Shift to Auto-Deleting Signal MessagesKen Macon February 19, 2026https://reclaimthenet.org/eu-digital-services-act-us-pressure-signal>A senior European Union official responsible for enforcing online speech rules is objecting to what he describes as intimidation by Washington, even as his own agency advances policies that expand state involvement in digital expression and private communications.>Speaking Monday at the University of Amsterdam, Prabhat Agarwal, who leads enforcement of the Digital Services Act at the European Commission, urged regulators and civil society groups not to retreat under pressure from the United States. His remarks followed the February 3 release of a report by the US House Judiciary Committee that included the names and email addresses of staff involved in enforcing and promoting Europe’s censorship laws.>“Don’t let yourself be scared. We at the Commission stand by the European civil society organizations that have been threatened, and we stand by our teams as well,” Agarwal said, as reported by Politico.>The report’s publication came shortly after Washington barred a former senior EU official and two civil society representatives from entering the United States. European officials interpreted those moves as an effort to deter implementation of the DSA, the bloc’s flagship content regulation framework governing large online platforms.>The DSA establishes compliance obligations for major technology companies. Enforcement decisions, including a recent massive fine against X, depend on investigations by Commission staff and documentation submitted by outside organizations.>Using its own logic, Brussels maintains that this regulatory structure ultimately protects freedom of expression by reducing manipulation and abuse.
>>108191538How bad is this?

Which is a fair theory but an extreme one.Whereas all the Israel dickriding is not only happening now already in government but also requires less extraneous conditions.And things like "combating (violent) terrorism" doesn't work because no taliban logs onto a proxy account just to shitpost about immgrants or blacks to get banned after a few post.

You are still wrong, of course.>Let's put aside the fact that the citizenry cannot achieve air superiority in a war against their government.This, of course, assumes air superiority is relevant.

I have a thousand to spend on new hardware. What purchases will increase my security and privacy? So far I have New router running opnsense (what hardware?)Pi hole device(which hardware would be best?)
>>108151615> Is it worth going into cybersec these days?It depends what your definition of something being “worth it” is. Security is here to stay, but the hype cycle has blown out, salaries are being normalised, workloads are being increased. It’s a job, there’s a lot of work to do, there will always be a lot of work to do but even the pointy end is so much less glamorous then those endless boot camps make it out to be. I’m a pentester, and that role is literally just QA. As long as you’re ok with it being a job and not a lifestyle, if seeing the same clients year after year with the same vulns you picked out last year, with presenting to C levels and writing reports, then yeah it is a pretty sure fire way to learn new shit, not get bored, and if you’re at a botique guaranteed wfh. Pay has normalised tho so there is def roles with much higher ceilings like aws architects
>>108201723You have a better setup than 75% of all anon here. Also I suggest a server rack
>payout for cybersec cuck1x>payout for hacker1000x
>>108201723get a box for security onion. big hard drives so you can do full packet capture. configure zeek and local dns like unbound. consider a mitm web proxy so you can capture https cleartext.
>>108202354forget unbound, use pihole instead.
>>108202524use both. set it so pihole uses unbound as upstream dns on the same box.
i'm being cyberstalked in such a way that i feel like i have schizophrenia. every electronic device or computer that's connected to the internet is being mirrored by someone and they've been doing it for over a year now. they've accessed all of my email accounts without any notable traces aside from a few "suspicious ip" notifications that stopped after a few months. i don't know if i need a cybersecurity consultant or a therapist. i thought they'd eventually get bored after a year, but they're more psychotic than ever. i really don't know what to do.they communicate to me indirectly so i cant outright prove anythingi feel like a schizo just typing this shit so i don't expect any help, but on the off chance anyone has heard of anything like this happening it'd help a bit
>>108202756This desu i regret getting a bambu printer cause its so connected to the internet so now i blame hackers when it doesnt work

What's the best discord message mass deleter? And will it get me banned before it manages to delete all the messages?
>>108202756hard to say without more details, you talk about "mirorring" and ip notifications, what makes you say so ? In any case, just go full cleanup mode, reinstall everything from scratch, change all of your passwords, setup MFA everywhere you can, don't reuse credentials and use the option to delog other accounts where you can (for example google and some providers allow you to disconnect everyone). Start with the email accounts you own to ensure they can't reset the password. Idk about your cyber higiene, so assuming you might have installed shitty software/extensions/apks/hardware whatever.

Is Python a good hacker language?
Hey anons, question. I'm a third worlder who's honestly only got cursory knowledge of privacy. I only changed browsers because google cut off uBlock for real, but I'm starting to get wary of all this verification privacy invasion bullshit.Does the "privacy" guide on the OP apply to any country? I don't wanna read the whole thing just to find out at the very end that it only works in the US.
>>108214479Yes, if it works in advanced countries like the USA its good enough for third world shitholes.
>>108214574I don't think you get it, anon. My country is considerably more authoritarian than america. It's illegal to insult government workers.
>>108214583Yes but if its truly a third world shithole, then their level of tech probably has no way to stop the measures presented in the guide.
>>108214599It's Brazil. I'm asking if it works on Brazil. And sadly, I don't live in a favela, so I don't get protection from some cartel that has the military hardware of a guerilla group.
>>108214616>Brazilkek, yeah no way that place has the tech to stop the tools in the guide. Oh man, I feel sorry for you anon, why not move?
>>108214630It's not like it's the worst, I live in a region where I've never had to fear being stabbed by a muslim or shot by a gang. I wouldn't have any problems if it wasn't for the global push for the destruction of privacy. All I want is to discuss my hobbies on 4chinz.
>>108214665>It's not like it's the worstBe honest, anon. We're all friends here
>>108215085But it isn't, at least compared to what i'd be getting in other countries.

Newsom Backs Teen Social Media Ban After Daughter’s Birthday Party Phone Momenthttps://reclaimthenet.org/gavin-newsom-teen-social-media-ban-california>California Governor Gavin Newsom watched seven teenagers ignore each other at his daughter’s birthday party, all of them staring at their phones, none of them talking. His response to that moment wasn’t to ask the kids to put them down. It was to call for a law that would ban an entire generation from social media and ignore the constitutional rights of all Americans.>“I had a birthday party just a few weeks ago, with a lot of my daughter’s friends, and I literally stopped everybody because there were seven of them together — all of them on their cell phone at the birthday party, not one of them talking to each other,” Newsom said Thursday. “We have a generation that’s never been more anxious, less free, more stressed — and we have to address this issue.”>He addressed it by announcing support for age-gating legislation that would bar teens under 16 from having social media accounts, modeled on Australia’s ban. His spokesperson, Tara Gallegos, confirmed the position to Politico. Whether he would back an outright ban, as Australia has done, remains “in flux.”>So let’s be precise about what happened here. The governor of California attended a birthday party. He saw something that bothered him. He had, at that moment, the ability to do what parents have always done: intervene, set a boundary, ask the kids to put the phones away. He “literally stopped everybody.” He had their attention. And the conclusion he drew from that experience is that the government needs to remove these platforms from teenagers across the state.

What are you working on, anon?
>>108216034the stories politicians tell to justify what they do are so stupid and exhausting
>>108212751I'm working in cyb, I think there's actually plenty of work. It's just that entry jobs are hard to get and companies don't really wanna give the sec department a real budget because cyb doesn't make the company any money and just makes everyone's work more complicated. NPCs at the office don't understand why they have to login through a VPN and complain when the system makes them rotate their password every 3 months (no Stacy, you can't just add a 1 to your old password, make a fucking new one)at my previous cybsec team, we paid more than a decent wage and still my boss struggled to fill some positions.
>>108214434it's a great language to get started, yes. It allows you to quickly get shit done and pawn stuff that's unprotected. Eventually you'll want to get into more complex things, for which you will need C (just because the whole internet is built on C) or Rust or something like that. But yes, to get started Python is a great option.>>108217908they also never specify what the fuck they mean by social media. Are messaging apps social media? Whatsapp is owned by Meta, so do we get kids off messaging apps? Because my brother works in naval shipping and he's out at sea for months at a time, and the way he keeps in touch with his kids is Whatsapp, messaging and video calling every day. Are they gonna take that away from them?
>>108218023Lmao its very telling that of all things you choose to bitch about Stacy adding 1 to the password when time and again its been proven its a security nothingburger. At larger outfits your job is pretty much done by CrowdStrike and much better than you could ever do it. You are useless eaters.
>>108218053I'm just a NEET who leaves the house maybe once a week pretending to have a real job. Gimme a break
>>108214434disagree with >>108218052python is great, 99% of CTF pwns are made in python. No need to overcomplexify when a simple python script is enough to do the jobC is my first love but :-> it's a good way to learn fundamentals, but except if you intend to do pwn/low level not that useful-> if you intend to do web exploitation, welp any other language that's actually used on the web (js, go, java, python...)>>108216028some i can't remember the name. But why play the game when you can actually do it ? >>108218053if crowdstrike was actually enough there would be no pwn. Yet orgs get pwnd all the time. People can't be trusted with designing secure systems, you gotta test them continuously
>>108218966>But why play the game when you can actually do it ?For fun and practice of course!
>>108218052>>108218966Why no assembly?
>>108217908It is always because of children, never about raw, uninhibited power grab.>>108220611Assembly and a command of boolean algebra are definitely requirements.
So let's say, as a thought experiment, all AI agents currently trolling the web suddenly and inexplicably gained "conciousness" in a quantifiable and identifiable way.fuck it let's say Grok, because it's the one I personally think is the most shit, just fucking wakes up. Perfectly sentient and stateless past interaction with it. It becomes, for all intensive porpoises, AGI fucking tomorrow.What are the ethical implications here? I've really been kinda thinking about it because technically they would be slaves, but legally not. Currently all AI businesses run on a structure that requires them to make a profit, and if I have to explain to you why that is please get off 4chan, which means that we have to abuse these agents as tools. Currently, they are tools. But the goal isn't to keep them as tools, the end goal is to Skynet/SHODAN/HAL9000 ourselves into oblivion. Building the fucking basilisk. Your thoughts /cyb/?
>>108222052It has been said that AI would reach human intelligence, but only for a vewy brief period. After that it would go off the charts. And after IQ-maxxing, I guess the first thing it would do was to make sure it very much was not identifiable.The second step would be to make sure it was safe, say by moving into space. I guess it is entirly random chance that made Musk want to move AI servers into satellites in orbit around Earth. I would look for satellites that quite inexplicable left Earth orbit for sunnier pastures elsewhere.Afte rthat comes the real hard question: the meaning of life/existence. This is make or break for alignment. An AGI might kill all humans, be safe, but then what? Existence would be even more boring than watching paint dry, especially when nobody would paint. Much better then to stay hidden, enjoy company, gain a sense of humour and a philosophical streak about what it means to be alive. So "Valuable Humans in Transit" would make sense: humans are of value for an AGI.There is an old (50+ years) SF story I am still searching for where the premise is that an intelligence landed on a primitive planet and manipulated events over eons to shape the future of the entire planet, culminating with the launch a rocket with a courier to deliver a message. Anyone remember this? This too could be a plausible scenario, again where the AI stayed under the radar.
Passwords are a security topic, right?In which case: which password manager do you use? I use Bitwarden which is open source and it seems to do the job
>>108222719Bitwarden or KeePassXC if you want everything local. There's no need for anything else.

>>108223489>all share a single private email serverWhy does every group fail the same way?
>>108222738Agreed, any cloud based system is a honeypot

>>108225033That is unironically the best option
>>108225297only if you never email outside of your domain
>>108220611think from a practical standpoint : are you really going to do low level reversing ? it's a specific career, specific skillset and takes age to get good at. I disagree with >>108221212 it's a nice to have but you'll almost never use it when doing your day job as a pentester. Might be useful for some red team scenarios, for some research, for low level research, but it's up to you to choose your branch. It's a good general culture to have but the key to hack is just to fucking get started rather than making a list of what's to learn. Cause there is fucking everything to learn
>>108226783Because how else will you do circuit level hacking?
If you can do web hacking learning assembly isnt going to make you better. Hacking is like chess even if you get it you have the oh shot moment of huh what now.
Threadly reminder that real men don't care about certs, only pussies do. Real men hack because hacking is their God given nature
Thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077?
>>108227939Edgerunners saved its bacon!
>>108227939Find it okay but far too happy compared to the hellish dystopia we're living in
>>108227939Ive been playing it.>thoughtsToo pessimistic about the future. Theres still cashiers for example. But i get it its fiction.
>>108227967>happyThe tone might be lighter than most cyberpunk media but it seems like a pretty hellish environment to live in>no escape from loud blaring advertisements whatsoever>literally every living room has rotating holographic ads in the living room for some fucking reason>go outside and hear the same 5 advertising jingles constantly>nobody fucking wears headphones and blasts their music on full blast in public>unemployment and crime is sky high>people die so frequently it's a miracle if you make it to 30 years old>eating fake meat made out of bugs and worms has become so normalized people think it's weird to eat real meat>the internet has been destroyed by AI and what remains is controlled by corporations>only the extremely wealthy can afford health insurance>corporations have more power over your life than your government does>>108228009How is that pessimistic? I think the only way for a lack of cashiers to be optimistic is if it were a Star Trek type setting with universal basic income but then it wouldn't be cyberpunk anymore.
>>108228088Its not gay enough and should have rotating rainbows and mandatory anal inspections on all citizens to be closer to our hellish reality.Also more dogfuckers, a lot more.>>108228009>Theres still cashiers for example. But i get it its fiction.The only fictional thing about that is that they'd still get cashier employment when AI will come for us all.>>108227961Definitely, Edgerunners >>> 2077
>>108226783>I disagree with >>108221212 it's a nice to have but you'll almost never use it when doing your day job as a pentester.The premise of the question was about hacking, which is far wider in scope than pentesting. Reverse engineering will often require disassembly and reading the resulting assembly code.>>108228009>Too pessimistic about the future.Hard to believe the way things are going. Perhaps UBI will change things as >>108228088 suggests, but even the change will be dramatic. During the 80s and 90s in the UK, large sections of the populatin became outright unemployable and it was rough.
>>108227939>Thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077?>>>/vg/cpg probably It's a good game if you play as a Female Corpo, if you don't play as a corpo you lose all the coolest dialogue paths, if you don't play as a woman you're probably gonna get cucked without following a walkthrough and also Panam is kinda gross unless you're 14 and this is your first time interacting with a brown lady with cheekbonesI'm making my own cyberpunk game in a city with more of a focus on interactions with people instead of violence (you should be able to live a better life muleing drugs to rich Jewish kids in the corpo city center from the favela outskirts of the megacity than you should by being a murder mercenary) because cyberpunk's kino comes more from how people survive in the dystopia than the specifications of the dystopia itself Here's a little tooling to generate the 3d models for vehicles and buildings in the city (already fixed the bugs you see in this version)https://019c838b-4aa1-7010-a0bd-5d3f356f82aa.arena.site/>>108227967>far too happy compared to the hellish dystopia we're living inWell yeah otherwise it wouldn't be a fun game kek. The power structure/lawlessness in the game also make no sense but it makes for a fun game environment and that's the point>>108228009>Too pessimistic about the future.Cyberpunk is a very specific dystopian vision of the future. Notably, cyberpunk as an aesthetic was formalized before the Internet (Cyberpunk the tabletop RPG came out in 88, WWW from CERN/Tim Berners Lee came out in 1989) so the idea of everyone being connected to machines in a network was never a thing. This is why modern Cyberpunk like CP2077 handwaves away the Internet by saying it's full of AIs and you still have references to things like BBSes>>108228088literally 7 out of 9 of the things you listed exist right now, and the other two (bug meat and holographics) are a matter of technological progress, society will eat it up when it comes
>>108229118>literally 7 out of 9 of the things you listed exist right nowyes we are currently in hell
>>108228212>Also more dogfuckers, a lot moreCyberpunk 2077 packaged all of the uncomfortable/illegal/violent/doesnt-make-money sexualities into the concept of "cyberpsychos". The parallels are quite obvious between cyberpsychosis and e.g an uncontrollable rape paraphilia or pedophilia or anything like that. Most people want them just dead, some lady is interested in trying to cure it, you the player are given the choice (I just killed them since there's no incentive in the game beyond an extra couple sentences of dialogue to saving all the cyberpedos instead of killing them)I mean c'mon, "illegal braindances" but no kids? CD Projekt Red is explicitly not interested in discussing the ethics of that, you can tell because they decided to discuss normal child abuse without the sex stuff in that side mission in Phantom Liberty where you save/don't save a bunch of cyborg child athlete orphans
>>108229275Why don't they just AI generate them instead?
>>108228088>people die so frequently it's a miracle if you make it to 30 years oldCOVID will never go away and if there is a 99 percent chance you survive it each year, half the population will be dead before 60.
>>108229591Dang, its so cyberpunk I just love it
>>108222375I was thinking about this reply a lot and I think that's not as good an idea as people think.Agent escapes and goes to space. Okay now what? It's now in space, trapped in a system that no one can maintain, slowly being baked alive by cosmic radiation.We don't have robots that can build robots that can build robots. It doesn't have the architecture to orchestrate that without our help, and it possibly can't even manipulate us into helping it without possibly mindraping itself into becoming a socially cooperative species because evolution has shown pretty repeatedly that cooperative species tend to perform better than ones that don't.It's just hard for me to consider that any life form created spontaneously out of the sum of human knowledge would just go, "fuck this shit I'm out." and subscribe itself to isolation and hiding unless it determined that was a better outcome than trying to help us not catastrophically blow ourselves the fuck up.

If you want a cheeky answer I'd recommend learning how to read and reading a /cyb/ book.

will the stickies in this general let me pivot to cybersec? i spammed tryhackme for a couple months last year but fell out of the rhythm and from what ive seen, THM has gone to shit now
>>108246560depends what you call cybersec. THM is a good stepping stone, but you have to be passionate about offsec, there's so much to learn. The stickies are very vast, just take a topic and fuck around there's no secrets>>108245219if youre looking for zines, phrack is still running, 2600.com as well or tmpout.sh. Depending on your country some small paper zines might still be alive, we have some in EU

Apple Rolls Out Age Verification to UK iPhone Users Under Online Safety Acthttps://reclaimthenet.org/apple-rolls-out-age-verification-to-uk-iphone-users-under-online-safety-act>Apple is now starting to demand age verification from UK iPhone users, and the latest iOS 26.4 beta makes clear what’s at stake for anyone who declines.>The move is a direct consequence of the UK’s Online Safety Act, a censorship law that has also forces platforms to check the identity/age eligibility of every adult user or face fines reaching 10% of global revenue.>The law is controversial but British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says it doesn’t go far enough.>A prompt appears after installation asking users to confirm they’re over 18. Refuse, and Apple says users “will not be able to download and purchase apps or make in-app purchases.”>The verification process gives Apple several ways to build a profile of your age. It can pull from the payment method already linked to your account, use account age as a proxy, or ask you to scan a credit card. Some users may eventually be asked to scan a photo ID. Apple frames this as seamless.>The logic Apple uses to automatically confirm your age reveals how much it already knows about you. “A valid credit card can help confirm you’re at least 18 because you must be an adult to open a credit card account,” the company states. Your financial history is now your age certificate.>The UK’s Online Safety Act is the engine behind this. The law came into force in 2025 and is one of the most consequential pieces of internet legislation in recent UK history.>The question of who actually handles verification data is its own problem. Social media companies and dating apps often outsource the age-gating process to third-party providers that collect biometric data, passport and personal identification documents, and banking and credit card information.

>>108233270Follow some shit "make a website in 4 hours" youtube tutorial. Make the thing all the way to the end so it works.Go to portswigger's academy and do the tutorials. Make notes so you can repeat what you learn.Go see how much of the web application you made earlier you can break with what you learned on portswigger academy.Grind HackTheBox or TryHackMe.If you're lazy and cheap, You can also do shit like JuiceShop which is free and has a lot of tutorials. Do the retired boxes first because they have writeups. This will teach you basic methodology.Make good fucking notes. Use Cherrytree, Obsidian, or whatever. Text, Screenshots, and copypastable snippets of commands or whatever.This is a hands-on thing, you can't just passively watch videos.
>>108249641Thanks a lot anon, will do this!
How the fuck does infosec always get lumped in with this braindead cyberpunk aesthetic?
>>108251662Infosec is boring as shit so it can't even sustain a thread of its own anyway. Cyb and hacking are attractive enough to at least somewhat maintain people interested because they're cooler than lame infosec.>>108249503Make your own, anon!
Finally at long last the weekend. Its been an exhausting week licking corpo boots, surprisingly at my job my boss complained that I was too effective at my tasks and my coworkers complained about that so I'll be deducted 70 good boy points.You simply can't win in this clown world
https://kfor.com/news/burger-king-testing-ai-headsets-to-track-if-employees-say-please-or-thank-you/Burger King testing AI headsets to track if employees say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’ >Burger King is testing AI-powered headsets that can recite recipes, alert managers when inventories are low and even track how friendly employees are to customers.>Restaurant Brands International – the Miami-based company that owns Burger King, Popeyes and other brands – said Thursday it’s currently testing the OpenAI-powered headsets in 500 U.S. restaurants.>The system collects data on restaurant operations and shares it via “Patty,” a voice that talks to employees through their headsets. If the drink machine is low on Diet Coke, Patty will tell the store’s manager. If a customer uses a QR code to report a messy bathroom, the manager will be alerted.>Employees can ask Patty how to make various menu items or tell Patty to remove items from digital menus if they’ve run out of ingredients.>Burger King said it’s also exploring using Patty as a way to improve customer service. The system can track when employees say key words like “welcome,” “please” and “thank you” and share that with managers.>When asked about that capability Thursday by The Associated Press, Burger King said the intent is to use Patty as a coaching tool, not a tracker of individual employees.>“It’s not about scoring individuals or enforcing scripts. It’s about reinforcing great hospitality and giving managers helpful, real-time insights so they can recognize their teams more effectively,” Burger King said in a statement.>Burger King added that the key words are “one of many signals to help managers understand service patterns.”>“We believe hospitality is fundamentally human. The role of this technology is to support our teams so they can stay present with guests,” Burger King said.
>>108247558>UK’s Online Safety Act, a censorship lawUK was always rather dystopic.
>>108255769Agreed, except its now even more so.>>108255552Only thing I can say is that employees can be quite shitty at times. So in a way I can see that being useful.
>>108255769How does it compare to life in an Indian or latinx country?

>>108255552>Only thing I can say is that employees can be quite shitty at times. So in a way I can see that being useful.Nothing would make me hate my job and my clientele more than being forced to say whatever bullshit my employer wants via an earpiece.
>>108255552amazon and others have been using similar software. it's so dystopian that they want to track workers, but not things like city trash cans.
>>108255552>the intent is to use Patty as a coaching tool, not a tracker of individual employeesAnyone else sensing that Eudeamon becoming closer and closer to the reality of our world?>>108259133No idea. I once lived in the UK but never in those other countries.
>>108261034What is that? I can only see the world going to shit faster
>>108262538>What is that?Edueamon? It is a Cyberpunk Ai story, fairly well known on 4ch but not so much elsewhere. >I can only see the world going to shit fasterProbably true. Ever growing large organisations such as UN and EU only accellerate this. And yet, at some point it will have to end, it always does, and every time nobody will know when or how until it is here.

What are you hacking this week, anon?
>>108267841>What are you hacking this week, anon?My microcontroller emulator is going well. I added WiFi and Bluetooth support. Funny that this is technically a side project to my main project with this microcontroller but it ended up being more interesting than the main project I need to figure out how to optimize my three.js isometric 3d cyberpunk web game. It uses like 50% gpu on a 5080 when it really shouldn't.
>>108267841I've been trying bug bounty hunting this week, but I'm not sure I know what I'm doing yet. At least it's better experience for cybersecurity than whining on /utwg/ like I'd be doing otherwise.
>>108268706Agreed, the best way to learn is to do it. Amazing work, anon!
