Im trying to study for my CCNA cyber ops. by try i mean i bought the book, and it turned up on friday. i have opened it once to register my shit with pearson vue, and i have not done anything else.

why cant i get motivated to study even though security is the field I NEED to move into? its the one part of IT that makes me excited

fuck off brainlet

sorry, ill let you go back to your cosplay thread

You're suffering from reader's block/learner's block, probably because of things which are distracting you.

Don't know if someone mentioned this already but there's a new better Lainradio
lainon.life/

anyone here play any CTFs?

I seem to have really learnt a hell of a lot doing the overthewire bandit series

overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/

What happened to /sec/? Is /sec/ not allowed on Sup Forums?

I couldnt find the pasta for sec bruh. Im sorry. this is the cyb/sec gen tho.

Thank you for this user.

Just watched ghost in the shell

Why the fuck aren't there more movies like it? I guess they can't come up with good storylines but at least the fucking visuals

did you watch the original or remake?

The 2017 remake, in not into cartoons and shit, sorry

I'll probably end up watching those anyways

>not into cartoons and shit
nigger where the fuck do you think you are

you fucking stupid nigger
I was asking if you watched the ANIME ORIGINAL or ANIME REMAKE
not that scuffed holywood shit
get out

>muh anime website

Sorry for not being a manchild

What the fuck is wrong with you, the movie is garbage, watch the anime you dolt. And then watch Akira. And then come back here and tell me they are just "cartoons".

There was a /netsec/ thread earlier which lasted about 10 posts before going 404.

this is such a shame. i wish fag/g/ots were into sec, i dont know of any chans who are and it makes me sad.

>>IRC: DEAD

Why? Nobody hung around anymore?

theregister.co.uk/2017/05/04/uk_bulk_surveillance_powers_draft/

bruss im not sure. this is pasta from an ancient thread. i couldnt find anything more recent

GCHQ is fucking insane with what they are allowed to get away with.

The movie is an alright Cyberpunk movie, but it misses completely the point of the anime and manga, you should definitely watch them.
Beware though : apart from names, there's little in common with the movie, as the anime is more Post-Cyberpunk than Cyberpunk.

I tried it out, pretty fun. Got stuck on 6->7 at the moment, but I have to do my homework first. I will try it out more after my finals end.

Think of it as, the same amount of effort or more amount of effort was put into drawing these frames one by one that time.

Is not fun when the anti anti-forensics trolls come to the party, that's why /sec/ is dead

/cyb/!
when did you get here?

we've all heard about cyberpunk and cipherpunk, but here's something new:

textpunk.

That's right. Textpunk

Newspaper articles, BBSs (like this one), IRC, ASCII art, Kopipe, program source code, Novels, View HTML source, Google search engine, Mathematics, Hieroglyphics, The Rosetta Stone, Gutenberg Bible...

A textpunk doesn't sit there waiting for information to be slowly fed to him drip at a time by the gogglebox. A textpunk is thirsty for knowledge and 100% focused - they read old school hacker textfile zines. They don't waste their time with lame imageboarders: instead they're doing crazy abstract shitposting on /prog/ with thoughts and concepts twisted up so with many levels of irony that it becomes an art form.

Textpunks recognize and understand the true power of kopipe - how a well crafted piece of text can be so damn powerful that it alone can trigger thousands of replies with so much veracity within days. They see *through* things down into the core of what really counts, everything in the computer is built of text, ascii, strings of bits - They don't care about the latest 3D GUI environment fads. No, that's just a distraction. 7-bit clean ascii program source code. That's textpunk.

Look at how text has shaped humanity: The birth of writing systems was correlated with some of fastest advances of science and technology in early human history. Programming is text and it's the closest thing there is in the world to true wizardy and spell casting. Talking about real SICP-type programming here, not that modern garbage.

Today textpunks build up digital libraries of books and stick it to the copyright cartel. Schwarz, lib gen, the gentoomen library, and so many anonymous sources that tireless scan and collect books.. Textpunks are the people in tune with modern digital society of ultrafast cost-free transmission of text, they're the ones rethinking and revolutionizing publishing mixing it with open rights and making works available online.

>ix.io/1jVi
That is all okay, but where are all the IRC/BBS communities?

I'll go to your house and rape you faggot.

Otakufags buttblasted

not them, but you don't get it

forget saturday morning cartoons for a moment, this is nothing like that, these portrait deep themes and are a breed apart from popular anime you may see in Sup Forums

>everything in the computer is built of text, ascii, strings of bits

Strings of bits, that I'll agree with, because that's the lowest possible and simplest logical level - but saying "each eight bit chunk of the bit stream corresponds to one character, as per the ASCII table" is already a specific interpretation of these bits. You could just as well interpret the bit stream as 16-bit integers (signed or unsigned), floating point numbers, or just anything else by creating an n-bit table and assigning every bit pattern of length n to mean something specific. ASCII is probably the simplest while most useful, but saying that "all data is text" is just not right - open a binary file (such as an executable) in a hex editor and while there'll probably be some text strings embedded in side, many if not most of bits sequences show "garbage" when interpreted as ASCII character strings, because they actually mean something else, such as opcodes (i.e. processor instructions), numerical data, or data of yet some other kind.

I'm not into anime myself, but I've encountered people with the attitude "hurr, if it's animation then it necessarily must be a cartoon for childrenses, I do not and will not watch such things kthxbai" just like that user, and it's fairly difficult to convice them otherwise.

>/prog/

Not sure where you've been, but the text boards were shut down even back when gookmoot took over.

>back when
*back BEFORE he took over

anime always ends up with shitty stories and dialogue (partially due to translation im guessing)

Try watching or reading something that will make you think 'this is really cool and I'd love to be the character doing this'. Imo 1984 would push you to privacy and security relevance, but there may be something else you might find interesting

Does cyberpunk have to be dystopian or can it be antiutopian?

I've recently heard people claiming that Psycho-Pass is not cyberpunk, because the society in it isn't actually dystopian.

It's post-cyberpunk I'd say, as there's still questions about technology and how it changes our lifes, but the "fight" is about justice, not just punks vs the system.

>because the society in it isn't actually dystopian.
How so? The POV is elitist but we are given many hints of the states of those that do not conform to the rule. 3 of the main cast are people that fell from Heaven to Hell while still being mostly moralist.

What's the difference between the two lainchans?

psycho pass is stinky poop from a butt

>freesoftwarefoundation.org/prog/
B-but that's just an archive, right? R-right...?

I'm not discussing whether it's good or bad. Genocyber sucks even more, but people don't argue about it not being cyberpunk.
The point is that usually in a dystopia you have more of a stagnating society, with a weak, corrupt governement, corporations with too much power, people doing drugs and dying on the street etc. In Psycho-Pass the society seems more orwellian, sure it's all done by what most people would call imorral means but there's tight control and most people are unaware, but still happy.

Wait what, there's two of them now?

There's .org and there's .jp now.

>IRC: DEAD
what? #Sup Forumspunk on rizon is alive

does Rizon not allow VPN connections?

I think they have some IPs range banned because of spambots.

He said the pasta was oldass as he "couldn't find" a more recent one. I did and tried to post it, but would get a "Connection failed." message (go figure).

>freesoftwarefoundation.org/prog/

So Stallman is running /prog/ now?

Without sounding like a meme, mr robot makes me feel like that. I want to be as clever as him

.jp is the only one worth looking at

Try again if you got it mate, does it have the sec pasta too?

Mr. Robot is dog shit

please expand upon your position

holy shit

I could only make it through a few episodes of the first season but holy shit was it bad. The main character thats supposed be a major autist but just happens to be banging hot chicks, every white guy is either a nu-male or fag, all the members of the hacking group were insufferable tropes, naming the bad company "Evil Corp". It's like the writers were making an effort to see just how bad of a show they could come up with.

>major autist but just happens to be banging hot chicks
one, whose a scag.

theres lots of numales and fags because theres lots of them in the real world. you think the things posted here about mozilla, STREAM, etc are lies? the world is gay.

ofc they were tropes, later on you find he picked them for that purpose.

e corp is turned to evil because they killed his dad. its the entire purpose for his vendetta.

>Evil Corp

probably they were thinking in this

Sup Forums here

so can we post cyberpunk tunes ITT

please don't its embarrassing

Watch Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. It ran for 2 seasons, the second one is called "2nd Gig".

If the hollywood movie was the third matrix movie, GitS: SAC is going to be like the first one, in terms of the writing, ideas presented, and cohesiveness. While I wouldn't say the hollywood movies is "bad" compared to SAC, I would say it lacks the substance of what makes ghost in the shell, truly ghost in the shell.

I actually envy you, if I could watch it for the first time again I would do it in a heartbeat :D Hope you enjoy it!

i need to buy some opto couplers

Were these from lain /cyb/?

From older 4chinz /cyb/ (like, those in "Previous threads:").

>cathode lamps
Looks more steampunk to me desu.

There are so many of these. 4ct is another one. I have them bookmarked on my pc but not on my tablet.

.org or .jp for lainchan?
You guys keep shilling .jp but .org has more activity.

>>freesoftwarefoundation.org/prog/
>So Stallman is running /prog/ now?

Of course

wut

org is slower than jp

>putting aesthetic over function

the gits movie was okay...i really hope it helps spark a new wave of cyberpunk movies and media

i dont see why not

So how did you guys get fully pulled into the cyberpunk meme for good?

I've always been pretty fascinated, but it wasn't until the last year where I can finally say it's like giving my brain crack. Playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided triggered me to search for cyberpunk, and I've come to realize how it's not necessarily a genre that defines stories and aesthetics, but a whole way of life, a mindset, and ways of thinking about society, and technology. That's when I realized that /cyb/ was for me.

Reddit has more activity than Sup Forums, and Facebook has more activity than reddit. I'll admit I only ever used /cyb/ so I'm biased, but .jp got that A E S T H E T I C that .org used to have.

Only if you like slow ass boards with no posters , then I'd agree.

The original was slow as fuck but the second one is unbearable.

Basically the copycat chan thought they could force the user base to a new site because things were not going their way. They deleted the site and backups and linked to the new site from the old. This was done by mods at the time.
Now the community at lainchan org wants nothing to do with fakechan while fakechan tries desperately to generate traffic.

In essence they splintered the user base because of the egos of a few mods and everyone suffers.

You have got to be shilling.

is purple rain cyberpunk as shit or am I just high?

Just fuck off already.

Org and JP are diffrent and now have diffrent communities building.

Org for Autism
JP for Cyberpunk

Shit like this makes me want to emigrate. Sweden maybe?

>Sweden maybe?
youd rather mudslimes?

I don't know, for some reason when I think "safe haven" I automatically think "Sweden". Where would you rather live?

Wait maybe I'm thinking of Switzerland, they're basically the same though right? Right?

I'd love to hear what you think I got wrong about the difference between the two? Wait, you can't because everything I described is true. The way the site came about is such a huge indicator of the staff there I'd avoid at all costs.

imagine a cyberpunk discussion where the topics of ("cyberpunk") music and (cyberpunk genre) fiction were banned. it would be about 1000x better, by removing the topics that roleplayers can actually discuss. cheers

Dumb nigger. If you say "wrong opinions" in Sweden with your identity not hidden, then say hello to police.
There was a story of one guy getting to jail when he posted some "wrong" ideas on facebook with his own name. If you guys have been following Tim Cast report on Sweden, people are afraid to speak out about the refugee issue. Some going as far as not showing their face and voice being mutilated so they can't be recognized.

This by itself, is why I have started to stockpile on old computers such as IBM thinkpads. In this brave new world, you can't be certain about what is going to happen next. There is no such thing as "free speech", if you declare "wrong" ideas and opinions as hatespeech which can take you to jail.

there would be nothing to discuss

we live in a world where almost everyone carries a powerful, permanently-networked, computer in their pockets, which in turn are compromised and used for tracking and analytics by megacorps. the internet itself is increasingly compromised, and discussion of this is frequently in the mainstream media. it's generally accepted that our elections were tampered with by a foreign power's cyber-warfare unit. poor indians like, subscribe, and comment, on videos that they are paid to do this for, and then post on facebook pornography groups using their real names which is odd. pretty sure people could find something to talk about other than a youtube link to the drive soundtrack

You absolutely don't want to move to Sweden, if anything you want to avoid it and those of us who live there are either considering moving or preparing to move.

10 years ago we didn't have gang-rapes and carfires and shootings and gangs openly selling drugs & throwing bricks at police if they try to interfere.

I live in the outskirts of a town that used to have about 20000 people. It's become a completely unsafe hell-hole after adding about 4000 immigrants.

Politicians and the Police have realized that they have lost control. So what are they trying to do about it? They are currently in the process of rolling out a national camera surveillance system tired to a national real-time face recognition and license plate system which is tied into a national database, you can read about it here:

dagensjuridik.se/2017/03/polisen-storsatsar-pa-kameraovervakning-med-ansiktsigenkanning-startar-i-var

That's big brother on steroids. You'll soon be unable to go anywhere but the woods without having your face scanned, recognized and your movements registered in a database. Forget about going to political rallies or anything like that, you'll be registered and flagged.

It really is quite sad. And it won't help crime much, either. The total population was 9.5 million 3 years ago, it's now 10 after adding about half a million immigrants over those years. Immigration wouldn't have caused the very huge problems Sweden has if we were talking 0.05% or "just" 0.2% of the total population in brand new immigrants. Here we're talking 5%, which doesn't include all the immigrants who arrived in the 80s and the 90s (who mostly didn't cause problems, daily gangrapes and carfires and so on are a new thing).

i dont think there are actually daily gangrapes in sweden. just saying

I don't care if you're unwilling or unable to accept reality but you should because sticking your head in the sand won't help.

>place population under police state instead of just deporting or executing the immigrants

So yeah, fuck Sweden.

Where can a poor black man make a living without being spied on?
