Whether working at home or in the office, when conducting cybersecurity research, investigating the dark web forums or engaging with any dangerous part of the internet, staying safe is critical. While most researchers use a virtual machine to mitigate risks to the host PC, there is an overlooked and unprotected attack surface: the network. This post will illuminate potential risks and introduce a new solution to keep your network safer without hindering your workflow.
The blockchain has emerged as a revolutionary technology with the potential to redefine how data is managed, stored, and shared. While initially associated with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, the blockchain’s applications extend far beyond finance, impacting industries ranging from healthcare to supply chain management.
