/cyb/ - cyberpunk and cybersecurity

>I'm curious therefore why you started this distro?
I started this distro for a few reasons
1. All pentesting distros i have previously used have been quite bloated, and lack a good selection of non-pentesting software. I wanted one that was comfy to use, whether you are programming, browsing the web, or pentesting a system.
2. Distros like kali and black arch provide literally hundreds of tools, most of which you will never use. I want ArcheryOS to be something that can be molded into your own personal pentesting workspace. For example, some people only do binary exploitation, and only need tools such as radare2 and gdb. On the other hand, some people will never use radare2 in their pentesting "career". Giving the user a small selection (~100 tools) or what i consider to mostly essential tools, lets the user install the tools they want.
3. I like ArchLinux (because of the AUR), so about a year ago, i installed the BlackArch repos on my vanilla arch, but half the packages were broken. This is another reason i want to keep the package count low, so I can properly maintain them.
>is this how you see it, or what do you find the role of this sort of distribution as being ?
All distros are just a slightly different selection of tools, whether it is a pentesting distro or not. I actually started this distro as a way to quickly reinstall my arch setup (in case i broke something on my install, or was setting up another p.c.), and wasn't actually going to release it. I gave the iso to a friend and he convinced me otherwise, because he liked it so much.
>How is archery better than say, a metapackage on the AUR that depends on a whole bunch of security/pentesting tools ?
Other than the reasons listed above, It comes with an OpenRC option. It is preconfigured for privacy (for example, some of the about:config settings have been altered). And its more simple to install than arch (not that arch is difficult), and lacks the bloat that distros like manjaro have. Plus, the logo is cool.

On another note, I will be releasing an AUR packages that installs ArcheryOS's selection of pentesting tools, once i have released v1.1

What's the point of pentesting distros? Just use a normal distro.

Dedicated pentest distros are fine for Live enviroment like USB or CD like a toolset, but installing them seems pointless, I have some classmates with Kali Linux as the only distro in their laptops being the prime example of pseudo script kiddies

At least it marks them out for the rest of us.

>1. All pentesting distros i have previously used have been quite bloated,
>2. Distros like kali and black arch provide literally hundreds of tools
The purpose of a pentesting dsitro is that you boot the iso and everything you might need on an engagment is preinstalled, configured and ready to go. And since it's a live system you don't need to worry about erasing evidence when you're done.

>For example, some people only do binary exploitation, and only need tools such as radare2 and gdb
Those people don't need a pentesting distro then.

> 3. … i installed the BlackArch repos on my vanilla arch, but half the packages were broken.
Consistent with my experience. To be fair, Arch Linux mostly attracts people who want to present a certain image about themselves, not people who actually know what they are doing.

This - old xeon X3xx X5xx still run stuff fine if you get the faster chips… slam in a good GRFX card and your golden - runs BF1 very nicly and eats Adobe… can also firefox with 100+ tabs ok Ram is cheep so can get 32GB+ Also for this you only want win 7 NOT 10.

So why do we need new CPUs and win 10? what am i missing?
(no one needs win 10 obviously)

(win cuz im an Adobe gaming slut)

I guess laptops might be much better with regards to power efficiency in newer CPUs but old desktops are plenty fun for now.

Me and my friends usually say that the only viable option in the future are soft processors running on FPGA-s. This way you can distribute a copyable, open, free (as in freedom) hardware with verifiable security. This option is a lot slower and more expensive than normal "hard processors", but something for something am i right? I'm not gonna list the security risks with mainstream PC and Smartphone processors, because i would sit here in front of this thread until tomorrow morning.

Also, you can run WIndows totally sandboxed from your main OS in a qemu virtual machine, while having full PCI, memory and CPU passthrough allowign ~95% performance of native.

>>3627
Do FPGAs come from Stallman's foot crust or something? No, they are developed by same companies who make conventional microchips, hence all the backdoors still can be there.
>>3628
You will be surprised, but no, you can't have all those nice features without compromising security. Read on Qubes compartmentalization design and how they do everything in software mode only.

I have several spare parts, but I have no idea how to build a cyberdeck

lol read the articles I posted

>>3618
Already did, but i cant afford one raspberry in my country

>>3619
look I'm not gonna hold your hand through this. There are other single-board computers you can look into – Beaglebone, ODROID, etc.that might be more affordable for you

Perfect.

>>3608
I currently work as a pen tester if I can answer any questions.

>>3609
Mentor, how are you? It is my desire to enter this line of work. What is the recommended software to use in the stages of pentensting? Do you have recommended readings? Pages to practice? I don't know if classifying them by popularity is right. Greetings and thank you for your help.

Not Cheshire, but wanted to point out that you don’t need to be formal on Arisu.

Personally wasn't around for the inception of arisuchan or the culture that gave birth to it or lainchan but came to it from other chanchans just generally searching through information, not hidden information, not esoteric information, just human information. I've always lurked on boards just watching people do their thing and sort've wondered at it just because it's interesting seeing people do things. It beats social media stalking honestly but you can take a lot of artistic leads from the aesthetic you can find only on these boards. It's a culture. I feel like what everyone is getting at is that cyber punk means something different to everyone else being more of a catch all or umbrella term. Take ghost in the shell cyber punk and then compare that to blade runner cyber punk or even akira cyber punk and it never aligns. That being said one could say cyber punk is now, just technically speaking, but the usage of the word cyber punk at least on this image board comes from anime or more general futuristic novelizations or films in which you have a character lost within a vast network of urban and technological landscape and development. I actually think that's the key component missing from calling our world a cyber punk one. Mega cities do exist but they're not to the extent to which you'd imagine cyber punk unless you're in Hong Kong or Tokyo or the like. At the same time that also encompasses the "cyberpunk" atmosphere of neon everything but again that's just getting further into individual subjectivity. Can New York be said to have cyber punk atmosphere. BUT to the point we're never completely lost in the landscapes we inhabit even if we do live in mega cities. You cant really disappear completely. I mean you can it's just not in the sense that you'll be able to get away with having a biker gang blow up cars in Tokyo 3.

Really i'd say cyber punk wont ever exist because i don't like you and i want your dreams to die but it's more to the point that we're at the beginning of some transitional shift in how human beings live in a service economy and that generally requires the increase in the size of cities. That may be wrong but It's like the beginning to the building of an ant column. It's boring at first and becomes less so until it's not. As far as technology goes I think wider spread adaptation of programming would do it. The one time I did feel that feel it it was a pretty good feeling, but I had this thing called hondata and hooked it up fPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I get excited about the future though I feel those technologies are way off. Most of them anyway.

But cyberpunk is now.
Cyberpunk is not androids, flying cars or off world colonies. Cyberpunk is invigalation, megacorporations, it's social problems, it's psychological problems, it's philosiphical problems etc. You are thinking about sci-fi, and cyberpunk is not just any sci-fi, it's much more.

also is database management usages for mandatory access control useful at all?

useful to know

wait nevermind as is no and yes/yes

"*are". I'm always half asleep. Point being, this, I don't know everything. I typically answer my own questions or google them. If I'm wrong about something I try to find out why. I make mistakes. That being said I came here for the atmosphere.

Tfw I stopped using facebook in late 2010 So I was so lost when all of this happens

>>2637
I know a few people who use facebook regularly/semi regularly. Ive asked, and no one is dropping the service in droves, at least not among their groups, though perhaps things are going badly for that company, its principal value is its ubiquity–everyone is on facebook. It will only loose its draw when many people quit.

As far as I can see, theres a lot of fuss but that ubiquity isnt going anywhere.

>How do you avoid such a monolith like Facebook
You simply don't use it. I deleted my old account and made a new one with completely fake information (name, date of birth etc) just for the two people I know that don't use Telegram or Signal. If it weren't for them, I would've quit entirely. Joke's on them, I check that account maybe twice a month. I might delete it at some point but as of now, it's a good straw puppet for registering at other services. Quitting social media at some point becomes easy, kinda like quitting smoking. It's especially easy nowadays since Facebook, Twitter and YouTube seem to be dripping with hate and thier user base (at least in my social circle) becomes less active.

>What are Lains thoughts?
The concept itself might hold a lot of good for society but as with every invention, there is severe potential for it being abused or its range of usage blown out of proportion. What baffles me the most is how far people can take it and make "being FB friends" a personal thing in real life. When I quit FB for the first time, so many people I knew took offense from me deleting my account. I had to make up some idiotic excuse to justify myself. Another point is that social media has become such an enormous part of our lives that a good portion of society started treating it as some kind of human right. FB/Twitter/IG/WhatsApp/… did something wrong or has unethical business practices which has been known for years and people will go out of their way to try to make them cater to their needs (and experience shows that this is always in vain) instead of just not flipping using it.
Long story short: Stupid people use stupid services to do stupid things.

Not intending to highjack this thread, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8Dd5aVXLCc showing what's being done with the privacy sold, was scarry even though I'm pretty aware of the matters.

you don't escape it. Everyone uses it and it's essentially a socially acceptable drug. The only thing to do about social media is learn about it and use it to your advantage as best as possible. Try to find ways to use the dopaminergic effect and social need to your advantage or you know get famous and become a socialmediainfluencersupercoolamazingfortybillionayear.
You learn most by experience or necessity. Facebook is a loss, but twitter and instagram have better use cases for individuals. That's what I did. It actually worked. I don't know why exactly. Still figuring that out. Most people would kill themselves.

what?

you're creating a strawman, it's not your fault. just understand that it's got nothing to do with you.

by "it's" I mean "it's"
you got it
you're the extra in my life.
I guess that means i'm ego tripping

just because people do things online that are different doesnt mean they think they're some kind of god or deckard or whatever you want to throw around. it's not that serious

that kind of attitude is boring, the need to act as though all individuation is an expression of angst all the time is as unnecessary as the idea that there exist a dualism between normal people and people that partake in chan culture.

why is posting about recipes better than posting about whatever else?

of course you could create a lot of different arguments and jokes one way or the other supporting your side or whomever else's side.

what it all really comes down to is individual motivations.

rarely if ever is generalization like that useful.

it's the same kind of paternalistic style of thought italian people use. Just specifically italians. They're lazy and think they're cool for no reason. The problem with that is not accounting for outliers. Im special cause im an outlier Italian and you're not so neeeh neeeh jokes on you :0

nords are cool
