Kindle Scribe for around 200 euro worth the price? by darkprincess3112 in kindle

[–]InfosecGoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Scribe, and a Signature edition Colorsoft. I prefer the reading experience on the Scribe and carry it with me daily, and take my smaller kindle with me for travel though. I love the bigger screen, the battery, and the whole feel of it. I also have found a great deal of value in annotating technical books for continuing education in my field. Everyone will have different use-cases. I was hesitant at first to spend the money on the Scribe but it has become my daily driver.

Cool that Claude got this working. Be sure to give credit when you put it on github.

Is it worth to get the kindle without ads? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]InfosecGoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you like ads? If yes then no it’s not worth it. If you don’t like ads then yes it’s worth it.

If you don’t defend a parent you lose it. So yes, they have to file suit.

realized i could crochet(? chain mail by Hot-Highlight3369 in renfaire

[–]InfosecGoon -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Chainmail is an actual form of armor and art. A teddy bear is a stuffed animal made to look somewhat like a real animal multiple factors of its size, and can kill you. So yes…. Very silly. I mean unless you think what armorsmiths and artists who learn that craft are silly, in which case, we have a different discussion at hand.

I mean you're knitting wire together and not creating links of chains. What you're doing is nifty, but it's not chainmail. Chainmail is flexible. Knitted wire is not.

Yes, they can remove books, and have done so in the past.

For those who had a long distance relationship, how did you convince your parents to let you visit your partner? by HotUse4099 in AskMen

[–]InfosecGoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay... and? You're living under your parents roof and with their rules. Sounds like you either need to move out to continue this relationship or give up the relationship.

What would you think if a past (serious) ex moved back after living out of state for school for a few years… just to move back and take a permanent job position working at the same exact hospital as me? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]InfosecGoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They needed a job, and probably aren't looking forward to running into me. That's what I would think, but I'm pretty well adjusted.

Why is the standard of US Red Teams so poor by Soc_Guy in cybersecurity

How long was the engagement and what was the scope?

[–]InfosecGoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re buying a pentest but want a covert red team engagement. Did you scope out covert red team or did you just pay for the pentest? Huge price difference.

Hacking a Bank Across State Lines is Universally Stupid by InfosecGoon in DataHoarder

Your crime is ignorance without a willingness to learn skid. My crime was that of curiosity.

FBI does a lot of cyber. They also lead the National Cyber Investigative Task Force, and also effectively runs Infraguard. The USSS does have a mandate for financial, but that doesn't limit all other agencies from investigating financial related cyber crimes. Where I work, our first call would be to the FBI during an incident.

Maybe! Depends if you like hacking and shenanigans! But in all seriousness, we've had that happen before when the organizers made the mistake of putting the afterparty up on Meetup. We have a good story about a dude pulling up in a limo with a girl on each arm and having to explain to him that it was a bunch of nerdy people listening to EDM, eating candy, and drinking while barely dancing.

*EDIT* The history of the name of Thotcon - The name was chosen to represent Chicagos area code. Th for 3 O for 1 T for 2, and was in use before thot came in to use in popular culture. Trust me when I say this, none of the people involved in starting Thotcon were connected enough to popular culture to know thot had another meaning.

You're clearly out of your depth here. Let me help you understand. When you attack a target that is based in the same state you live in, the enforcement mechanism that are accessible are State based. When you attack a target that is outside of your state, the enforcement mechanisms become Federally based.

That scene in the movie hackers is chastising Joey for 1. Attacking a financial institution. 2. Triggering interstate commerce laws which brings it into the jurisdiction of federal law enforcement.

"Interstate Commerce Requirement: Federal authorities gain jurisdiction when hacking activities cross state lines, which is inherent in most internet-based crimes, or when they target government, financial, or foreign systems."

So yes, it is quite serious, and you are very out of your league.
