I guess I should do an #introduction! I'm Thomas, a #CS major at the University of Texas at Dallas.

Interested in #infosec, specifically #pentesting and #redteam work (also interested in #privacy, #iot, #re, #crypto, and other things!) Outside of infosec, things I like: #guitar, #bass, #lockpicking, #python, #CTF, #ethics, #politics (leftist) #linux, #queer, and #coffee.

I don't know what I'm doing, so be nice :) Currently in #DFW area, but in #RTP for the summer! Hmu if you wanna talk!

"Smart Phone Feature Request: Guest Mode" in this article the good people in CrimethInc. make a case for what they call "Guest Mode" for smartphones, rallying for teams and companies behind mobile OSes to come with this rather interesting and particular solution to a real problem and added layer of security and privacy.

I think it would be interesting to see this in @Purism #Librem5.

The Intercept presents Haven, an app created with the insight of Edward Snowden to protect people from "evil maid" attacks.

The app, open-source and currently Beta, is a collaboration between #Snowden (through the FPF) and #GuardianProject. It can be obtained from the Play Store and #FDroid.

The app, installed on a smartphone, records sound, movement and video while sending notifications another phone.

Y'all are into #privacy and #infosec, I hope?

Then hey, maybe consider buyin' a condom for your smartphone's charging cable if you don't already have one. It'll let you block your charging cord's data connections when you charge from unfamiliar USB ports, juuuuust in case there's something gnarly hidden under the casing or lurking on the host computer.

Have a good deal on two that I found during my time spent rummaging around in Bastard Bezos's Bargain Bin. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T0DW3F8/

These days I tried to switch from uBlock to Privacy Badger because I like the idea not to block advertisement in general but only the harmful stuff. But now it happens quite often that websites detect Privacy Badger and show a pop-up every few seconds. So I'm back from blocking some advertisement to blocking all advertisement. Don't think it is better, but it seems like this is what publishers prefer these days. #adblocker #Web #privacy
