  • I would honestly recommend buying an old laptop with a broken screen (or an old netbook or something, make sure it has an Ethernet port), a decent DSL modem, a USB network adapter, and a switch if you need it. Now you’ve got everything you need to make a super capable router. Install a very basic Linux distribution and get NAT setup (it’s like 4 or 5 commands), configure the firewall, and your VPN software of choice. I’ve run a setup like this for years and it’s great, because any time a component is “out-of-date” you just update that component. For example, you need AX WiFi instead of AC, just upgrade the WiFi adapter).


  • I had a section in university on binary exploitation. It was super fun. We got to do some buffer overflow attacks, dynamic linker exploits, and command injection. Reverse engineering is super frustrating for me, but very rewarding when you finally get it figured out. I admire those who can do it well.
