Good to know. I might stick to using it in VMs in that case.

Yeah, I have a laptop that I don’t mind wiping every now and again, so I use that one. It’s served me well but I happen to be one of those lucky bastards surrounded by hardware, so I understand if you don’t have access to dedicated hardware.

Well I still have my old 4690k machine I could use for that but also want kali on something portable for when I’ve got no access to my desktop, only device I have is the laptop I’m currently in the process of fixing but it’ll be my main travel device. In future I might see if I can pickup a fairly cheap laptop for messing around with.

I’ve got the G3 model of this. Damn good price if you ask me. Clit mouse, intel wireless, low-res screen is a minus, but that’s what you get for $300. You’ll be spending most of your time in a terminal anyways, so it’s not a bad option.

I may have just talked myself into buying a $300 laptop. LOL

Thats not too bad, I’ll have to see what I can find in my area. realistically I’ll likely end up getting a better laptop than my current one as my main and use the old one for kali instead, its from 2010 and fairly dated

Ah, that’s a good idea. Kali really doesn’t need a ton of horsepower. It can run on lxde (or xfce, I always confuse those two), so it’s not super demanding out of the box, and the only time you’ll ever need horsepower is when you’re bruteforcing, but you should really SSH into a machine that has a GPU for that.

or just rent a VM designed for that.

Those are expensive, but yeah. Since I already run linux on the system with a 1070, I just SSH to that and I’ve manually installed jumbo john.

I knew it was only a matter of time until this happened, but Amazon key was broken into again. Amazon did release patches though.

yep can’t say I’m surprised, good that they patched it so quickly and have policies in place to prevent this being as much of an issue for their delivery service but I suspect this isn’t the last we’ll hear about security issues with the amazon lock and other similar technologies.

They’re insecure by design.

The only way to make a door impenetrable is to weld it shut, and even then, it’s susceptible to an oxy torch or a light saber.

im still waiting for amazon to come out saying the amazon key servers were hacked which allowed the hacker to controll what ever door they want

I would be that hacker who just locks and unlocks your door all day to annoy you with the sound and drain the battery on your FRONT DOOR.

Another reason not to have hue lights. If you do and I get on your network, I usually choose 3:15AM as a good time for a rave.
