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.

i get there are no patches released for this OS version. a user with this expertise came back to me and asked if it's sufficient if he/she blocked TCP 445, i kicked off a Nmap scan, it shows 445 closed, but 137 & 139 are opened. is blocking 445 sufficient or do they need to do more with 137/139? anything will help, thank you!

Hey r/security, looking for laptop recommendations for a crypto trader
Hello all, I am looking into getting a laptop for security reasons because I will be using the laptop for crypto trading and daily handling of crypto assets. Is there a specific laptop that would be best? I'm looking into purism laptops, but am looking for something a little cheaper. Any suggestions will be appreciated
