Use Public Wifi? Here’s Why Snooping On You is Way Easier Than You Think | #VPN #Privacy #CyberSecurity  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Hacking is so easy these days, even non-hackers can do it. Some kinds of hacking, that is. Like public wifi, for example. To spy on people's Internet browsing while they're sipping a cup of brew, you don't need to be a pro.

Case in point: My group has just released a new preprint (get it here) that shows how the WiFi information routinely collected by your smartphone can easily be converted to precise information about your location. WiFi routers reveal where you live, work, and spend your leisure time.

While your phone may have told you that WiFi helps “improve location accuracy”, it may come as a surprise that:


  • A majority of apps in the store have access to the list of routers around you (scanned every 20 seconds).
  • Your Android smartphone by default scans for WiFi routers even if you disable WiFi.

Plus, troubleshooting “file in use” messages.


Q. If I get a VPN (a virtual private network), will it protect the computer against malicious software?

A. A VPN encrypts the data that you send and receive over your Internet connection to protect it from snoopers looking to steal passwords and other information. If you use public wireless networks, using a VPN helps keep personal information private.

Raspberry Pi-alike NanoPi K1 Plus: For $35 you get 2xRAM, 4K video, Gigabit Ethernet | #Coding #Maker #MakerSpaces #MakerED

Raspberry Pi-alike NanoPi K1 Plus: For $35 you get 2xRAM, 4K video, Gigabit Ethernet | #Coding #Maker #MakerSpaces #MakerED | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

FriendlyElec has released a $35 rival to the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, outdoing the better-known board with 2GB of memory, Gigabit Ethernet, and a more powerful GPU.

The NanoPi K1 Plus follows FriendlyElec's Nano Pi K2, released last year with similar dimensions to the Raspberry Pi 3 for $40.

The NanoPi K1 Plus shares similar specs to the Nano Pi K2 and maintains the Raspberry Pi's form factor, but offers double the RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, and 4K video playback.

The device also has the same 40-pin GPIO pin-header as the Raspberry Pi 3, so it should work with Raspberry Pi accessories and housings.

Instead of the NanoPi K2's 1.5GHz Amlogic processor, FriendlyElec opted for an Allwinner H5 quad-core 64-bit Cortex A53 processor that runs at 1.4 GHz as well as a six-core Mali450 GPU. The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ uses a 1.4GHz Broadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53 ArmV8 64-bit SoC.

The NanoPi K1 features three USB 2.0 ports, one microUSB 2.0 port for power, a microSD slot, while wireless support includes 802.11 b/g/n.

WiFi4EU: Gemeinden bekommen je 15.000 Euro für WLAN-Hotspots | #ModernSociety #EU #Europe #ICT

WiFi4EU: Gemeinden bekommen je 15.000 Euro für WLAN-Hotspots | #ModernSociety #EU #Europe #ICT | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Die EU-Kommission will den öffentlichen Raum mit kostenlosem WLAN versorgen. Für die Einrichtung von Hotspots erhalten bis zu 8000 Gemeinden je 15.000 Euro. Jetzt startet die erste Bewerbungsphase.

Im Rahmen der Initiative WiFi4EU will die EU den öffentlichen Raum mit schnellem Internet versorgen. Schon bald sollen auf öffentlichen Plätzen, in Parks, Krankenhäusern und Büchereien WLAN-Hotspots zu finden sein – finanziert auch von der EU. Nun geht das Projekt in die nächste Runde: Seit dem heutigen Dienstag können sich Städte und Gemeinden auf der WiFi4EU-Webseite registrieren, um mit etwas Glück einen Gutschein in Höhe von 15.000 Euro für die Einrichtung von WLAN-Hotspots zu bekommen.

The Great Politician Hack | Digital Privacy | ICT | eSkills | DigitalCitiZEN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Public Wi-Fi is becoming more and more popular. It’s becoming prominent absolutely everywhere, and almost everyone uses it when given the opportunity. But many people still seem to feel that public Wi-Fi networks are built to give the public free Wi-Fi access without having to make concession with their privacy, and this is in spite of growingevidence to the contrary. And based on the show of political support for Wi-Fi, one can extend this to include the perception of lawmakers.

So we here at F-Secure teamed up with ethical hacking firm Mandalorian and investigative journalist Peter Warren to conduct a little experiment that could highlight the risks that people (including politicians) take when they use public Wi-Fi.
