Proton VPN now available without creating an account (Android)
  • Been to china, my advice is to amour up with a few vpn providers, and if you can get a sim card from Hong Kong, it gives full coverage in the mainland with western internet access

  • Linux Mint has been great, you do run into some issues with games that have intense Anticheat, but for the most part the user experience is flawless. I don't know about steam OS, but with mint (and I think also for Ubuntu and pop OS) you just install steam, install the game from your library, and off you go it's just like Windows

  • Very dumb, check the second url I posted first and get the command line from there. Don't trust some random ass dude on Lemmy but I hope you'll see that I posted the same command as on the website

  • Give it a go, it's really handy for setting up new machines! I'm on Linux mint permanently now but I still use that for servers

    Backed up all my photos to proton drive, now how do I restore them?
  • I see what you're saying but I don't agree with you. I want to have my data available to me offline. I'm not looking to have a cloud based phone/device. Not to mention the proton drive app kinda sucks compared to Google photos when it comes to markup and other editing. And scrolling through photos is painfully slow

  • Recently had to replace my phone due to an unfortunate accident on a boat. Thankfully I had I used the proton drive app to backup all of my photos, but now I can't figure out how to restore them all back onto my device. There's thousands of photos and proton seems to only load 24 at a time, is there a way that I can just just download all of them? On Android if it helps.

    FBI says Chinese hackers are inside US infrastructure to cause ‘devastating blow’
  • Oh yea poor old Palo Alto Networks is having a rough time at the moment. But a mature OT network has implemented defence in depth correctly and have a plan in place for incidents such as this one should they occur. I know a few sites who have had to island until they were able to put vulnerability mitigation in place, the good thing is that they could do this without disrupting their OT operations significantly. What you're saying is correct, if its connected its only a matter of when not if, but you design your system with this in mind.

    At the end of the day corporations are going to want business data from your site, and we need to design around that. To fight it and just air gap is going to result in you getting side stepped and your system being even more vulnerable. It's going to happen either way so we need to make sure we have the plans in place to implement it as safely as possible.

  • Nah man, this is my game, air gap systems aren't really a thing for anything non-military anymore. Companies want a real-time view into their production for making business decisions.

    There are ways to secure your control systems network properly without a full airgap with proper boundary controls between the various layers of your Purdue model as well as fully separate Active Directories just to make a start.

    Its actually an entire independent cybersecurity specialisation for OT networks. For anyone who is interested I would recommend Hacking Exposed Industrial Control Systems: ICS and SCADA Security Secrets & Solutions by Clint Bodungen its a fantastic read and very easy to follow.

    Now the concept of air gapping still exists in this architecture, its designed to be able to "Island" which is where you break the connection between your corporate and OT networks when an incident has occurred on the corporate side essentially creating an airgap.

  • Back in Australia from my 3 week Japan holiday, here are some more photos of that Pokemon watch I found (more details in the Original post here)

    I wasnt happy with the photo quality in the original post, so here are some better ones:

    Just a note, I pulled the watch crown out in these photos, its not typically that far out.

    I was shrine hunting in Kyoto when I walked into some random market with heaps of small shops. My friend and I were the only tourists there that I could see and we walked past this small watch shop and the yellow watch face caught my eye, not really a pokemon fan but the colour looks so nice!

    Hey c/Cybersecurity!

    Just looking for some advice on what certifications are worth getting?

    I am wanting to steer my career into ICS Incident Response and was wondering what Entry level certs are worth it? I want to get my SANS FOR-508 (GCFA) and SANS ICS-515 (GRID) certifications, however due to the expense of these I am looking to hopefully do some cheaper ones first until I can get the company I work for to pay for them.

    I was considering perhaps CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA CySA+ but I don't know if the time spent towards them could be better invested in another course such as CISSP.

    I am Based in Australia and have a Bachelor of Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering. I have also been working as a Process Control Systems engineer for about 3 years since finishing uni if this helps gives some more context.

    Any career advice or recommendations is highly appreciated, I am kind of overwhelmed by all of the options. Also keen to do some more non-certified courses to increase my knowledge, I have been working through a few from Chris Sanders' recently and want to do more from him.
