My advice might be a bit outdated but python was a good first language for me and I still use it when I need to throw something together ASAP.
Ethan Jackson
Thanks, I thought so.
Lincoln Murphy
If you have no programming knowledge already, you'll want to understand the fundamentals first. Python works for that, but plenty of people (myself included) started with C, which isn't difficult to learn and essential to specializing in security.
Following that, you'll want to study up on computer architecture and get your feet wet with understanding assembly most likely. There are many good books that teach x86 assembly from the ground up. To supplement writing assembly, you should practice opening up programs in a debugger and stepping through the disassembly to try to grok what's going on. The IDA Pro Book is good for learning IDA, but it's more about learning IDA than learning assembly, so you should know your assembly well before you get there.
If you get that far, you can figure out where to find more material to learn on your own.
Blake Murphy
Concise and informative, thanks. I like these threads.

I noticed Monero among a couple others gets noted as the crypto for security, but Verge (XVG) is another good one.

So, with this, CRISP/Cas9 and other developments we might look forward to a world where the leaders of all major companies will rule for centuries. Will this increase forus on self preservation, decrease appetite for risks and lead to statis.
Social mobility is down, this might take us interesting places.
Alexander Young
interesting .. you're the expert
python then BANG right to assembly
like you just can program assembly yeah I'll just knock out this website in assembly
assembly does everything right
cos it's a programming language just like all the others
idiot
Aaron Watson
He didn't ask what languages to learn to write websites. He asked what language to learn first to get into security. A grasp on assembly (and by extension C) is fundamental in order to reverse engineer binaries and develop exploits. I'd also like to add that while Python is perhaps a simpler language to understand; it is more sensible to learn C first and work your way up to Python as you get more comfortable with the fundamentals of computer architecture; as these concept transfer into many higher level languages, but will likely seem abstract if studied at that level.
Caleb Flores
that case is fucking monstrous wtf
Jackson Long
seems to understand the concept of learning better does, so I think I'll take his ideas as a better medium for building understanding.
because only gatekeepers maintain and post them. Philosphically you can consider /cyb/ + /sec/ threads to be the gateway between two vastly oppositional and dissimilar lifestyles and mindsets.
These threads are made by people who genuinely care and generally want this information to be available to anyone who is willing to discover the pathway, but the threads are made by gatekeepers. Most of the interesting stuff happens whilst immersed in culture after embracing it. And most of that happens away from the surface.

What's a good microcontroller or single board computer that I dould shove in my express card port (custom power delivery through the express card 5V pin) to do security related stuff?
A raspberry pi zero for a portable VPN? Or wi-fi extender?
Is there any useful hardware hack like this for laptops?
Andrew Gomez
I heard something about the Pi being backdoored.

The only plausible reason, given the nature of this thread, is that the case is lined with acoustic and EM absorbents.

Is system76 stuff just cashing in on a meme or is it decent? It seems cheaper to buy a windows laptop and put linux on it myself. There's also purism and zareason but that stuff seems hilariously overpriced.
Just shopping for a 15in linux laptop for basic computing due to travelling more often.
Thomas Murphy
System76 is VAR (value added reseller). They just repackage/re-brand chinese makers stuff. The name of the maker escapes me, but if you're interested I'm sure google will help you.
A person would be better served by buying some later model Dell/Lenovo/HP laptop for a fraction of the price, in my opinion. If it breaks there'll be tons of replacement parts on eBay.

tech has perpetually made "hacking" not as feasible, SocialENG is the new cyber sec game, a well placed thumb drive outside a data center, some empty boxes to get a door opened you should not be able to get through, that phone game on lock telemarketing like a pro, high gain mini antennas well placed in receptions machine to create a rouge access point, you can try to hack but I don't need to run any spam tech to get into something, just a little social engineering

You do know there are more unsecured Internet facing 'services' today than there have ever been right? Just because you make something up, doesn't make it true. In fact, this is quite a well known and concerning problem. In fact, with more and more 'smart' technology in businesses, homes and in public, the world is becoming ever more hackable with each passing year, lustrum and decade. Next time, think before you type, it might improve your attempts at trolling/derailing. Merci beaucoup, I'm sure you'll show yourself out.
Ayden Ortiz
Hiro is using us to captcha farm and make money from Google. This is why you should use the legacy captcha.
Jace Clark
its hilarious, I went to SXSW to do a bit of job networking this year, and there were droves of potential employers from the video game industry, that were o so impress I had my CCIE, they thought it was super edgy and cool, the faggots were interested in me "protecting their servers" (whatever the fuck they thought that meant) and were ready to email me log files from recent attacks, so many dumbasses who think they work in the tech industry, with "social media" and "graphics design" degrees basically cuck out when you start talking security

you truly are a silly faggot if you think social engineering does not play a huge role in information security
Sebastian Perez
I didn't say that it did not. I disputed your claim that the majority of things are 'unhackable' without social engineering. Don't strawman, it weakens your argument. Not that it was much of one. I'd advise, as a merciful god, that you back down before you get MUH FEELS hurt and shit up this thread anymore than you've already attempted to.
Jack Green
you do realize it is extremely easy to calculate stuff which means it won't stop spammers right?

Alexander Torres
you're either trolling or have some serious autismo
Colton Garcia
Says the samefag who isn't backing down and went as far as changing IP just to win a minor point. I think we both suffer from intense autismo. Back down, for your own sake.
Thomas Butler
oh my god, just stop fucking arguing you autist and take your meds
Benjamin Wood
You guys are shitting up my comfy cyb thread don't make me track your IPs and totally hack you.
Luis Diaz
Why don't you? We're equally guilty.
Tyler Sanchez
im not the "same fag" you were referring to, so stop arguing in the /cyb/ + /sec/ thread
Jace Brown
neither was I but that didn't stop his autismo from accusing me even after i presented proof. i could have my modem off for a fucking week and i still would get the same IP back. but here we are.
Anyone have an good sugestions on how to make a DNS server on a personal router? I got the 3040 for that reason but did not have luck with OpenWRT.
Dylan Collins
That sounds aesthetic as fuck; /cyb/, /sec/ and /k/ in outer space (and on other celestial bodies). Sounds like the basis to an masterpiece cyberpunk story, to be honest.
Robert Baker
Which generation(s) of ThinkPad does Stallman suggest?
Aaron Jackson
Since the US legalised space mining I guess the action will be in private sector. That could still turn hot. In fact many have set their eyes on Psyche, an asteroid which is so dense it probably is the remains of the core of a planetesimal. This would mean it is so full of precious metals that it would make the Chinese stranglehold on precious and rare earth metals implode overnight.
Unless of course the Chinese shot down the mining expedition. Given they probably gunned down 3000 students in 1989 this would just be par for the course.

>Our children and grandchildren get all of the fun. Well, will they? Have a look at this: I am not really sure where we are heading. There is CRISPR/Cas9, the coming AI revolution that will claim most jobs, the prospect of basic pay, a likely dramatic increase in life expectancy, a Western economic structure that imploded in 2008 and shows little sign of recovering short of outrageous propaganda, end of cheap raw materials and oil yet prospect of vast space resources, a possible space race to the Moon and beyond, a possible conflict on He3 resources and more.
Fun? Perhaps. It might be the future we'd like to see.
Andrew Sanchez
Cryptocurrency will take over and kill off central and reserve banking as we know it.
Jayden Jackson
I've finally found work for crypto doing graphic design for startup sites. Ive found 2 guys with chunks of BTC wanting help. I'm sure more are waiting.
I've wanted this for a while.
I need to save and convert as much as I can for the cool toys coming around 2025
You cryptofags are hilarious, refuse to even acknowledge the huge problems with crypto. USD can only be manipulated by the Fed, and if we switched back to the gold standard that wouldn't be a problem. Cryptocurrency can be manipulated by any country or organization in the world with enough money, which is already happening. The only people pushing crypto are NEETs trying to make money. Paypal and banks require personal information for their users, its only a matter time before crypto is forced to require the same or be banned, which completely defeats the one advantage crypto has, anonymity.
Austin Wood
>USD can only be manipulated by the Fed Wrong. >Who is Soros?
>and if we switched back to the gold standard that wouldn't be a problem. I agree, but we wont.
>Cryptocurrency can be manipulated by any country or organization in the world with enough money, which is already happening. And? It doesn't have the same ramifications as money backed by reserve currency.
>The only people pushing crypto are NEETs trying to make money. A lot of crypto requires a decent amount of startup capital, something NEETs wouldn't have, so try again.
>Paypal and banks require personal information for their users, its only a matter time before crypto is forced to require the same or be banned Whoa, nice statism. You know banning stuff (certainly digital) doesn't work right? And even moreso when it is DECENTRALISED.
>which completely defeats the one advantage crypto has, anonymity. Crypto isn't anonymous, logs last forever. The only way to be anonymous using it is general /sec/ implementations, like degrees of seperation (VPNs, proxies) and also using new wallets as often as possible.
So, all I've gathered from your post is, that you have a superficial knowledge of the subject that seems to be gleaned from poorly written 'articles' on it.
Adam Perez
You are exactly what I mean, a NEET that refuses to acknowledge that crypto is just a meme. Not all technological advancements are advancements.
Evan Nelson
I just falsified everything you said and you've made a non-argument as your faux-sophist retort. I think we're done here.
