Ye you are right but I was talking of 3D enclosures where you can put a zimaboard or whatever mini pc.

Anyone knows if there is any project for a modular NAS? Have been looked into it for a while but without success

WannaCry targeted hospitals, businesses and similar machines.

WannaCry targeted everything with SMB exposed, blindly.

Also, you should read more about security through obscurity, the fact that “no one will target you because you are a low-value target” is a false sense of security.

I don’t know why the author of the video didn’t mention it but LockDown mode is really useful.

At least for me the default is lockdown mode on and appropriate exceptions for websites I trust.

I believe the risk of running outdated software is super inflated and mediatic, 99% of people would be absolutely fine running a version of Android from 3 years ago or Windows 8.

That’s the same thing people running windows XP on internet were thinking in 2017.

Then WannaCry arrived and they got their data encrypted :)

Perhaps images, video, font etc. rendering could be compromised?

Yes, it already happen in the past. Also the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stack got exploited, like multiple kernel drivers.

But it shouldn’t be a matter of “in the past was X exploited?” but more on having a correct security posture.

Honestly if you are arguing about wasting a “perfectly working phone” you should blame it on the vendor, especially Android devices vendors have this let’s say “defect” of dropping the support after 4/5 years.

Also not going to talk about custom ROMs (with the super rare exclusion of some) managed by god knows who, without any security team behind.

Since even the NFC and Cellular Network stack got vulnerabilities the only way you would consider an old phone “safe” to use is just turning it into the equivalent of a local ARM server.

Also pretty fun seeing the replies in the original post talking about how Google Play store shouldn’t have malware on it.

Do anyone knows if it support local-only without joining the p2p network?

Thanks. I have never seen the last thing, what the numbers indicates?

What am I looking at?
