The Windows 10 laptop my son uses keeps on changing its Wifi MAC address, which in turn makes the DHCP server give it a new IP. It’s annoying. (I tried some registry changes I found on some website but didn’t work.) Doing this kind of thing requires the child to have a consistent IP. (I tried a static IP, it causes problems if he ever takes the laptop out of our house.) (Thinking about a scheduled task which reports…

Hi skissane, here are a couple links that should help you set the static ip for a particular ssid. https://superuser.com/questions/708649/specific-static-ip-se...

well, until they figure out how to set a local DNS server.

As someone said in the reddit post.. If my daughter figures out how to install a kali vm and then gets a reverse metasploit shell on the server, I would be so proud I would probably cry.

Key though is corporate infosec is similar to home infosec. If the user has local admin access, then the user can change any configuration.

Nice idea, does anyone have an idea what german-language learning sites have a point-system ?

The 2 sites we currently support are available in many languages.

If anyone wants us to create a plugin for a particular learning site, please create an issue on github.

Can we edit the '4' in the title to 'for'? This isn't a teenager's chatroom and it took me a minute to successfully parse the sentence as a result of it.

OP here. I am not able to from my view. It took several tries to squeeze my title into the 80 characters.

I don't like it. That's showing kids that automated surveillance is acceptable. Now, I'm sure they will not find that very funny, so that may be an opportunity to teach them what automated surveillance is about...

I respect your viewpoint. I look at it more as a modern form of "you can go outside to play when your homework is done". Parenting is really hard in March 2020. Many of us are working at home and our children are glued to their ipads watching who knows what on youtube. Many parents can't be 100% present during work hours.

Ah, I didn't realise the character limit. You're forgiven :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

A decent router can prevent that from being effective.

Until DNS over HTTPS gets widespread adoption.

Glad you brought this up. My day job involves finding malicious network traffic. DOH is really easy to detect because in suricata or bro/zeek you simply match new outbound connections with DNS responses. If you don't get a matching pair then you need to investigate why you have outbound traffic that is bypassing your DNS server. Note this is alpha stage code. I run this at home on all of my outbound traffic.

4->for

with -> w/

Anyone have opinions on whether that's a more readable abbreviation?
