I’ll break in this new forum with something relevant that I’m working on now:
Since quarantine started, I have been taking a bunch of computer classes on Udemy.com. The classes are really good, and pretty cheap (most are $10). I don’t have a tech background at all which is why I’m taking some classes.
One of the classes I am taking now is an ‘ethical hacker’ course. As part of the course you learn a lot of hacking skills. One of the basic things we are learning now is setting up a hacker terminal using Kali Linux, and using a USB WiFi adapter set in ‘monitor’ mode to packet sniff networks. The next lesson is breaking the network encryption, and I’m no expert, but it is pretty scary how easily stuff can be hacked if you have the right tools. Once you break the encryption you can access user ids, passwords, attachments, chat messages, urls, etc from a target device.
I highly recommend taking a class like that so you can better understand the dangers. It’s quite eye opening!
