1) Go to whatismyip.com or whatismyipaddress.com and note the IP address that is shown.2) In another browser tab, go to the IP address that you saw in step one (i.e. http://[IP_ADDRESS]). Why HTTP and not HTTPS? You want to know if connections can be made insecurely.3) NOTICE: What you see is what the public can see if your public IP address is visited.

@penny There are many that can, including mine. I've been working on an internal presentation for my org today and it was super surprising how many were blatently open.

@penny Ah yes, that much is true. NAT generally keeps that from happening. However, the public IP address that is assigned to your modem will resolve to _something_ unless you or the ISP block it. In my case, I block requests from well-known ports from outside of my network. This configuration was made inside of the firewall. The only different I've seen with this is when it's a mobile ISP. Network security isn't my specialty so there may be nuances that I'm not referencing correctly.

@penny That's a good catch. Please understand my goal was not to post something exaustive and given that I don't have access to Cox or TWC ISPs where I am, I appreciate you adding this information.Certainly there is room to write something more exhaustive regarding how to test for this and what to do if you feel that you're network is insecure.In general, even if your ISP exposes your network's public IP address, adhering to password best practices is key to minimizing a risk of attack.

@penny It's worth noting that the research that I have been doing this afternoon for my internal presenation was done with Shodan which scans for IoT devices that I certainly would not have previous access to.

Another #new #skill #learned and checked off my bucket list. I just painted my first miniature! Not bad for the first crack at it.

Thanks @Ted. It's about 1.5" tall. This particular figure came from a kit which teaches you how to get some fairly impressive detail just by using the right paint mixture and the right brush (though having 2.5X magnifying glasses definitely helped a lot as well). Given that this was part of a learning exercise, I don't know if I'll put much more time into it. However, I am starting to look at my boardgames and wonder which ones are getting "upgrades". Those pieces will get proper attention.

@Ted I'm thinking of getting either wizards for Labyrinth or goblins for Castle Panic as a start.

@Ted This is the kit if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/Reaper-Miniatures-08906-Learn-Paint/dp/B00NTMC49G/ref=sr_1_2Honestly, it was one of those things I wanted to try my hand at and the instructions made it very easy to understand the technique.

I just moved over to #CalyxOS on a #Pixel4a. So far I am impressed with what I am seeing. I would love to hear from other #CalyxOS users to learn some tips and tricks.

I'm going to take queue from some of you all... and do a (re-) #introduction as well:I'm gh057 (pronounced just like 👻) and I'm just like my profile says: a #security #engineer, #InfoSec #evangelist, #developer, #hacker, #technologist, #skateboarder and #Philly transplant (currently) living in #California.If you follow me, then you know in my spare time I am working on building and revitalizing skateboards (and of course riding!).Reach out; I'm happy to chat!

OK #mastodon! Here's your chance to help me design the next #skateboard. Pick THREE (yes, only three) colors and that will be what I use. I'm thinking of calling this one "k0mmu73r".

#Pro #tip for #old #skaters...changing both your #deck and your #bushings is probably going to result in a tough workout for your feet and feel very awkward until you get into the new groove of your new setup.I only did about 40 minutes at the #skatepark this morning because my feet and ankles are killing me so I decided to leave before an accident happened.

For those of you who use #linux extensively, what #presentation #software do you use most (i.e. Libre Imress, Google Presentations, Powerpoint Online, etc.)? I'm having a hard time finding a suitable replacement for Keynote and I would love folks' thoughts on this.

@murph Thanks for the feedback. I'm noticing in the latest version, 7.4, it's working much better than it used to but it's not as nice as I'd like.

@gatooscuro What happens if they decide to use IPv6 instead of IPv4 on their network? 🤣
