FingBox vs BitDefender Box 2.0?
Hey, all! I’m interested in securing my home network, and was wondering if anybody could offer thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of the FingBox (plus an off-the-shelf virus protection) vs the soon to be released BitDefender Box 2.0? It looks to me like the BD Box is expected to be much more comprehensive, offering continuous monitoring - but I can’t tell if this is packet sniffing?My home does have IoT, including Echo and smart devices, so I like the promise of BD Box 2 Protection - but I’m skeptical, after the less-than-stellar performance of their first gen unit.Any thoughts or advice?Thanks, all, in advance!

People are going nuts over Apple's root password bug. Reminds me of CVE-2016-4484. Sometimes holding enter is all you need

Resources for android and iOS internal security mechanisms and comparison of them
Hello,I hate the "android vs iOS" flame war, so I'll just set the scope a bit. First of all I'm a pentester and security enthusiast, so I'm interested in deep tech stuff, not "apple got hacked" and "enable remote wipe" stuff.What I'm really searching is research material for both operating systems and devices. I want to do a personal research, as I'm really tempted to switch to iOS. The reason is that I want a smartphone secure enough to carry my private key.The threat model includes of course remote access, via internet or lan (both WiFi and 2g/3g/4g), local physical unauthorized access post-boot (unattended device with locked screen) and pre-boot.Nontrivial hardware tampering is out of scope (crack open the device). The serial console that the nexus 5/5x has on the headphone jack, is though IN scope.As a result, device specific resources might be needed (talking about android devices), as they have different hardware.I'm as much concerned about privacy as with security.Take into account that android has many flavors, so I want to compare only the most hardened (such as copperheados), without root or xposed framework.If you want to narrow your answer a bit, focus on the Pixel line by google (gets security updates by google first and supported and recommended by copperheados) and especially on the pixel XL and iPhone 8+ (as these are the devices I'm between). If you have another model/vendor in mind, that's cool too.
