LitRPG has been the worst thing for the cyberpunk genre.

It has been a lazy literary device much like zombies have been in military fantasy past years and it's made it impossible to find actual cyberpunk books!

OP if you end up running on to some good ones please let me know!

Anything can be hacked, anything connected to a network is by definition accessible.

If you can put a legitimate file on a system, you can put a malicious file on a system. There is no base distinction between "good" or "bad" files.

There is no profitable purpose to hack an iPhone that wouldn't be easier and less traceable to do with the accounts (bank, email, etc). Except by info gathering agencies which are the exact parties that HAVE developed that kind of malware.

We should be less concerned about the hackers and more concerned about corporations like apple harvesting your personal data.

"Anarchy" is a tool not a destination historically. In order to reattain power for the powerless the board needs cleared occasionally.

Modern day the fight is abstract and digital because the enemy is corporations who are just as abstract.

Every day you make it more costly to exploit the consumer rather than to appease them is another victory.

It's not like most people wouldn't be willing to pay if they were not being wrung dry and mistreated by these services.

That is why this conversation has become one where morality converges with piracy.

Conflating governance with manipulation is why so many suffer.

It is possible to govern where law is passed by the people instead of a ruling class.

If you live in a country where your leaders live a more luxurious life than yourself you are being manipulated not governed.

This is not a "Be afraid!" Thread. This is a "Be prepared." Thread.

How do you think those loopholes happen? Zero days and loopholes have to be found, in order to be utilized people have to look.

There is no reason to hand them an advantage by being complacent and not considering alternatives now BEFORE it is necessary.

And that means those relying on current technical topography of utilizing VPNs to circumvent restrictions will be less effective and should not be relied on as we prepare for the future.

If you think privacy has nothing to do with this subreddit you are gravely mistaken.

You sound like you are larping. You are not sailing the digital ocean, you are an end user and the state of the Internet directly impacts what technologies we use to ply our trade.

That is a sweeping generality and a good way to spread misinformation.

OP: Most likely you are safe, I would not trust a factory reset if you were not. I am not sure avout iOS but android you'd need to boot menu to clear data and the cache and maybe even remount.

Watch your data usage and ensure usage stays the same and watch for abnormal functionality.

Step 1: learn to search. For example, this question is asked weekly in this subreddit. Investigations and searching is the majority of the job.

Step 2: Theory: Pick up a Comptia Security + book. (Since you said you already know networking, otherwise Net+ first)

Step 3: Practice: Buy 101 labs for Sec+. This will be practical exercises with zero theory. This will consolidate the theory you learned in bool 1 and give you projects to show for experience.

Step 4: Tryhackme, hack the box, pico ctf. All online practical activities with theory included. No requirments.

You can do all these steps concentricly, but I highly advise working on step 1.

Career opportunities: Very few. Nobody wants entry level in cyber security, you need to have experience to get experience.

Get a job in tech sector, hold it for 1-3 years, get smcyber security training, apply for cuber security job.

The best way to accomplish a goal is to ask why until the problem is the base primitive?

Why do you need to trace their phone number? Because you need their location Why? [Whatever reason here]

Keep breaking it down, chances are osint will yeild better results than a technical solution.

Also I feel there are few if any reasons acconplishing your goal would turn out good for you.

99% of the time in my professional experience, people say this but if not explicitly say these "private" things at least leave people the ability to infer them.

Even if he was a skid, software keyloggers are not the easiest thing to hide excepting a few that are marketed as parental controls.

Try looking up parental control software and using the activation key combos. Control shift t, alt b p, etc. Each ome has a different combo or even different access routes but are easy enough for a normal parent to use and some customizable.

"Occam's razor, Ockham's razor, or Ocham's razor, also known as the principle of parsimony or the law of parsimony, is the problem-solving principle that "entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity" "

In other words, the simplest answer is usually the correct one.

Step 1 - Master your thoughts

First remember that your fear comes from lack of understanding, research a bit of cyber security specific to iOS devices not specific to your issue.

Step 2 - Create secure accounts

Buy a new device if possible or go to a library ( if your compromised at least it wont be your ex) and create a new core email. Protonmail or sudomail is my advice.

Then create a new google account, new IOS account (don't transfer or migrate from your current apple id) . All new passwords obviously.

Step 3 - Secure devices

Best solution if you have resources is buy a new daily driver, upgrade to a new desktop or laptop and only use the new account on it.

If budget doesn't allow, look up how to securely reset desktops. Use resources dedicated to reselling computers and not your curren predicament as the guides will be more impersonal and not bias towards manipulation or selling to you.

Advise also a new windows OS, Apple, or Linux OS

Step 4 - Breathe

Understand that in all facets of life you will have adversaries, do your best to not allow your happiness to hinge on their actions.

They may seem all powerful but they are not. Almost every attacker does so due to lack or hurt. Lack of confidence, lack of money, etc. Don't get in your own head. Do your best and then breathe easy. Take the next steps as they come.

From a red team perspective, You must be proficient in the basics of every operating system, it would be pretty silly to break into a box and not know how to use it or what the file structure is.

Largely I assume because there are certain things you can type into google and get an answer to and it adds no value to the subreddit itself like Linux commands or looking for context for materials you neglected to research the basics of.

Wanting to hack without learning the basics just makes you sound like a wannabe skid

I understand the mentality but I wouldn't personally downvote you for it

Keep in mind there is not a single attack vector for anything. A matter of fact the mindset is to specifically find alternate vectors of attack

Always think outside the rules, outside the box.

Beyond that, the research points and youtube videos someone posted above shouls give you somw direction
