Summary: <p>Go dark and get deep as Dan walks you through the basics of setting up a burner laptop! In a special, two part episode, we’re going to look at the hardware, network, software, and physical security you’ll need to think about when you’re setting up a laptop you might eventually walk away from. Here in Part One, let’s talk about the hardware, the network, and operational security of the device.</p> <p><strong>CORRECTION:</strong> During the episode I refer to GPS as a two way communication which, as <a href="https://twitter.com/griffey">Jason Griffey</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/adr">John Fink</a> pointed out on Twitter, is wrong. What I was talking about is the communication between GPS and apps that use GPS. The GPS on a smartphone is a receiver, and that’s all it does, receive information. I am <em>so</em> sorry for that error, and I’ll mention this correction in Part Two!</p> <h3>YouTube</h3> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/0KuMLld4_Y4">Listen on YouTube.</a></p> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.cnet.com/products/acer-aspire-one-d150-1165-10-1-atom-n270-1-gb-ram-160-gb-hdd/specs/">Acer Aspire One Netbook</a> – My burner of choice</li> <li> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xacer+aspire+one.TRS0&_nkw=acer+aspire+one&_sacat=0">Acer Aspire One models on eBay</a> – See what’s on offer</li> <li> <a href="https://xubuntu.com">Xubuntu</a> – Lightweight, beautiful Linux</li> <li><a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/162120/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-chromebook-with-crouton/">Install Linux on a Chromebook</a></li> <li> <a href="https://xkcd.com/538/">Five Dollar Wrench Cryptanalysis</a> from xkcd</li> <li> <a href="https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/09/snooping_on_tex.html">Snooping on Text by Listening to the Keyboard</a> – Schneier on Security</li> <li> <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2016/04/26/a-closer-look-at-operas-browser-vpn/">A Closer Look at Opera’s Browser VPN</a> – An article on hacks</li> <li> <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2403388,00.asp">PC Magazine’s Review of VPNs</a> – Good place to start looking for services</li> <li> <a href="https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/">Private Internet Access</a> – Not a paid endorsement, because I don’t do those.
