Christian Johnson (@TheWizBM) joins Jim (@jcollison) for show #170 of Home Gadget Geeks brought to you by the Average Guy Network, part of http://thegeeksnetwork.com/.  Christian has had a very busy spring and hasn’t been on the show in a while.  News of the data breach broke in February 2014 and Christian was selected to be on the Presidents Task Force on Cyber Security at University of Maryland.  A complete outline of the events can be found at http://www.umd.edu/datasecurity/. Support the Average Guy Tech Scholarship Fund: http://theAverageGuy.tv/amazon Join us for the show live each Thursday at 8pmC/9E/1UTC at http://theAverageGuy.tv/live or call in your questions or comments to be played on the show at (402) 478-8450 Listen Mobile:   Christian mentioned that the full report from UMD would be out in June. What are we doing with mobile device security?  Security behind IVp6 with Cell Phones and Smart Phones?  Christian says there is plenty of work that needs to be done here in the future.  His big question is who is going to make Cyber Security a black and while solution in a world where things are still many shades of grey. How do you become the most efficient person in your network of influence to those around you? How do we take the human engineering element out of the equation?  Focus on id the human factors ahead of the event. More training and education need to be done with people and not necessarily better systems.  Knowing who the attackers are is more effective in most cases.  Who are the human actors? What was the biggest surprise for Christian this year?  He didn’t expect to get so involved in the Cyber Security issues that were going on at the University of Maryland.  He also liked the fact that he didn’t get pulled into just the technical aspect of Cyber Security.  Being able to learn how the process work and a changing of the playing field around personal security made a difference.  Learning that the privacy laws in the EU are very different than those here in the US was an important lesson.  How did those processes develop so differently? So what can the Average Guy do to improve there cyber security footprint? 1.  Pay attention to Cookies – the managing of cookies in the web browser has become important.  Some browsers and merging the browser settings and combine it to make one large string and create a unique ID for you.  He suggested https://panopticlick.eff.org/ to see. 2.  There are things that can be done to limit the information that is making its way out via social sharing sites.  GPS tags on pictures were a good example.  Young Americans are using apps like Instagram and Snapchat that shares the exact location.  Profiles can be build from there. We also talked about that the idea that your PII info like Social Security Number and addresses are still private might now be realistic.  Additional systems will need to be put in place to protect yourself knowing that info is most likely already out there. Christian’s favorite class this year?  http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/fall2012/cmsc216/ Brand new buildings are opening at ACES University of Maryland for next year.  Christian however thinks that freshmen should have to spend the first year in the old dorms in order to better appreciate the new facilities.  Laundry rooms and every floor and both social and quite meeting rooms are also a perk. Christian is now working for Gallup as an Software Developer Intern for the summer working with Paul Allen.

Where are the overlaps in academic disciplines that are relevant to answering modern challenges in cybersecurity? 27:00 – Crowd sourcing, software engineering, and how it pertains to cybersecurity. 41:00 – Big data – how does it relate to cybersecurity, and how is it shaping the privacy issues in the modern tech era? 1:00:00 – What is the value of journalism in privacy and cybersecurity? What role does journalism play in influencing privacy law in the U.S.? Tools for Privacy on the Web from Dr. Purtilo Ad-block Plus for Firefox - https://adblockplus.org/en/firefox - Gives you more than blocking adds, but allows filtering other objects of the DOM (Document Object Model) which might be hiding in web pages you visit. Block Site for Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blocksite/ There are tools to help you with proxy servers - not interested in naming any in particular - but generally you should have care not to trust such servers unless they are ones you run for yourself. On top of that, User Agent Switcher is probably the simplest I've found for toying with browser signatures. Try avoiding a browser entirely sometimes - For example, some Python scripting with excellent packages like Beautiful Soup will let you manipulate traffic from a variety of hosts not necessarily where you happen to be sitting. They take some getting used to in order to manage sessions and track cookies, but a bit of investment of effort to learn how that works can pay off. All that becomes even more useful if you do it through tunnels - but know the limits of those too, since you can slip just ONCE accessing the wrong site, using a standard browser on local machine which will supply your regular host signatures, and it won't matter what tunnel, VPN or other bit of tasteful indirection you once enjoyed, you've left a breadcrumb that connects new traffic to the old in a way that anyone examining a log - in particular some trace tool - can see immediately.
