Let's talk about air gap.

There is a lot going on regarding security, but I think personally that the best way to protect your data is to have an air gap, that you store in a faraday cage when unused.

The setup would be simple: Get an x220 (easy to move/hide), install all what you need (gentoo, why not some niche os that are the simplest possible, regarding what you want to do with it; libreboot/coreboot etc..), remove the microphone, speakers, bluetooth card, wifi card etc.., block the ports, and store it into a faraday cage.

The setup is very cheap. What would you use it for; you could use it for accountability, to take your notes using org-mode and emacs.

Is this setup safe enough to not get any contact with the exterior? The only way to get to it is if the SWAT breach you home.

There is a lot of attack, like TEMPEST, but I don't see these physical attacks happen because of the cost, especially if you're a low target (remember: if you're french and you ever touched to Tor, or encryption, then you're on one of their "list". Imagine if you try to escape from surveillance or if you go on independant website against the government...).

What do you think about it? What other measure (that would still be cheap to operate) could we add?

PS: Fuck you pedos and such. No security will separate you from the punishment you deserve.

The problem that truly bothers me, is how will you setup the initial installation, and if you'll ever transfert anything from your airgap to the external world, and inversely.

I have no idea how I could exactly be sure that an usb key is totaly safe. I have no idea if there is any algorythm trying to find airgaps auto-installing shit on your usb key to "connect" to your airgap (because I think that it's the most obvious solution, so there must be countermeasure)...

I heard hanging for the ceiling's fan is the ultimate airgap(specifically between you and the ground).

What's your threat model? What kind of attacks can you reasonably expect, and why?

This sounds like LARPing.

>>849430 (OP)

Why even bother removing microphone and speakers if you've already removed any way for it to communicate with the outside world if you assume there won't be any physical malicious presence?

This guy again... General security, doing the maximum against surveillance you could is an enough answer for you? Go "LARP" elsewhere.

>>849450

Why not doing it when you could? It's very easy to do. And you're sure you'll never experience some kind of "sound you can't hear" attack.

This is the first time I make a post like that.

It's sensible to protect yourself against mass surveillance and online tracking. Those things are done to everyone.

You only need a Faraday cage if you can reasonably expect targeted surveillance, i.e. if you think you in particular are suspected of being a criminal or inconvenient to the state or whatever.

Do you have a reason to expect targeted surveillance? If not, it's probably better to invest your time in protection from mass surveillance.

Either way, there's a thread for this already:
