We recently developed a plug-and-play vulnerability scanner built on a Raspberry Pi. And by plug-and-play, we actually mean that; you plug in the Raspberry Pi to your router, and within a few hours, you will receive an OpenVas network vulnerability report to your email.
For those that thought “YUM!” when mentioned above, a Rasberry Pi (RPi) is actually a single-board computer that costs around $100 and can be used for a vast range of applications, including home automation and education. If a fruity pastry had the same capabilities, that would be an impressive, albeit slightly expensive, treat!
The entire project is open source, and once you buy the device and peripheral set-up equipment, the scanner is FREE to run as many times as you want! This article will walk you through the “why” you’d want this and “how” you can create your own home network vulnerability scanner. Let’s jump in!

Bri and I used to love watching F·R·I·E·N·D·S on Netflix, but starting at the beginning of 2020, NBC decided to end their contract with Netflix and move the show to HBOMax instead.
Unfortunately, we don’t have HBOMax, and we’re unwilling to shell out the additional $15-a-month to watch a show we’ve already seen at least 3 times through.
However, we are willing to pay $65-a-month for YouTube TV because we love watching live sports like this month’s Tour de France. Even better, YouTube TV has unlimited DVR, which has proven to be the best feature of the whole service.
The best part about YouTube TV’s DVR is that you can navigate to a show you want to record (like Friends) and add the entire show to your DVR. Then, as episodes of your show air, it will automatically be added to your DVR.
Using this method, we have collected every episode of Friends in our YouTube DVR using a single button.

If you have ever taken an interest in retaining your anonymity and privacy online, you have almost certainly seen the acronyms HTTPS, VPN, and Tor come up. While each of these technologies provide a layer of privacy, each has a distinct set of advantages and limitations that you should be aware of. It’s even possible to use all three at the same time to maximize privacy!
We will explain how these technologies can be used together, but first, let’s take a look at each one individually.

The expression “you can run, but you can’t hide” has never been truer than on the Internet today. Protecting your privacy seems harder than ever with companies like Google and Facebook tracking your every move online and U.S. laws like the Freedom Act giving the government broader access to your browser and search history. And if that isn’t enough, frequent data breaches have resulted in your most sensitive information being made public on the dark web.
It’s not all doom and gloom, though, a variety of companies have dedicated themselves to providing everyday users with the tools they need to protect their right to privacy. In this article, we will walk you through some of the tools that we use to protect our privacy.
Specifically, the tools we will be covering are:
Note: We are not sponsored by any of these tools and make absolutely no money by endorsing them. We are simply spreading the word about privacy tools we love to use.
