Hobbies? / Fun?

Well there is a lot on Youtube & SecurityTube. The Kali Linux forums are helpful.

Learn Linux if you don't already know it. I don't mean the GUI. Learn how to admin stuff using the CLI.

Understand about the daemon processes that serve stuff e.g WWW. Learn about the OSI 7 layer stack.

Get into TCP and IP. Learn Python and start write simple little tools. The Scapy library is a great boon.

Learn about how Wifi actually works and why WEP is a disacter waiting to happen. Security Tube is a fantastic source of info.

The site is owned by Vivek Ramachandran, he worked for Cisco and in the technical development of the wifi systems.

Understand how WPA and WPA-2 work and how you can try and subvert it.

Start playing with the old favourites like the LAND attack and the Teardrop attack from the Win 95/98 days and how they worked.

Google is your friend, look up Google dorking http://www.hackersforcharity.org/ghdb/

Read up on SQL and how to write queries in SQL to perform SQL injection.

Basically to defeat something you have to understand something. :cool:

Knowledge is Power.
Epic!!!
 
My hobbies go back and forth but typically include:
coin collecting
card collecting (Magic the Gathering, etc.)
toy collecting
gardening

Usually things I can do on my own time, alone.

How about you?
 
Grandchildren. We have a lot of grandchildren and enjoy them very much. There is a certain justice in taking the grandchildren out, spoiling them rotten and then returning them to their parents.

My wife really enjoys sewing and gardening.

I like to work on projects in my shop and I collect rare firearms.
 
That has always been a tough question for me to answer. I don’t know what things I enjoy, rather which things that are routines.
 
Digging up things in the cliffs by the river, like fossils and other things that interest me.
Long distance cycling and the season of 'wind in my face' is about to start, and I'm happy.
Gardening, cooking, sewing, reading, scrabble, dancing.
Painting, collage, water colour, sketching.
 
Computer games.
Some simple programming/scripting/digital graphics.
Architectural design.
Card collecting, though my collection is still crawling.
Occasional painting, writing poetry or short novels.
Sometimes reading, though in much smaller scale than in the past.
It's the nicest when all of the above can be combined into one big project.
 
Math, working on obscure or unsolved problems in number theory. I've never solved an unsolved problem, but I enjoy the exercise and learning new things by tackling new problems. Programming as needed to try different approaches to the problem.

Poetry - reading or writing fun poetry. Not that serious, moving, or deeply philosophical stuff.

Building anything - a shed, a play set, a patio covering, a Murphy bed, Metal Earth models, stupid things with straws. Give me anything to assemble and I’m in heaven.
 
That's the fun I have with my Lego castle mini figures.

Just posing, remember you wouldn't have a child watching "The Game Of Thrones".

Checkmate to being too old for Lego.
 
@Mia Oh the digging fossils from cliffs. Love it.
Not much of it in Florida though, but when I lived in MO
there were caves and quarrys!

I love listening to all types of music, reading or watching documentaries on space, archeology, history.
Gardening, walking alone in nature, doing things on-line all night, (like being here),
Playing PC games, puzzles, chess and my main obsession is collecting assorted rocks, minerals and gemstones.
 
Art when I’m in the mood (yeah shocking), but I’m just not feeling it these days as much as a few years ago.

My latest hobby is going to the park to give the dogs some treats. Beforehand, I buy a takeaway latte with me. I’m hoping to get my own dog soon. A golden/white retriever will be nice. Was thinking about a cross breed so there’s less health issues, but I’ll be able to care for one that isn’t too well. (I’m going later today to the park!) :)
 
Xbox, watching Netflix (on Xbox), playing Pool and Snooker, training in Taekwondo.

Also watching soaps and WWE wrestling.

And going to the Pub.
