Alright /g/, I've got a challenge for you:
I've got 3 months to write a thesis paper for my bachelors. The ONLY guidance provided is that it covers ANY aspect of cyber security.
Desperately looking for a topic that isn't already taken by everyone else (AKA Ransomware) and is actually fucking interesting.
Best comment wins consumes the next 3 months of my life.

Windows/OS X being insecure
just go on lainchan and look at IPFS
You could write about the government hiring the people they get hacked by to try and prevent it in the future.
Or you could write about these modern day bank robber dudes who stole like $150 million from Bangladesh and more from that other place (Argentina maybe? Venezuela?)
>cloud/distributed computing (paas, iaas, etc) plus machine learning (deep neural networks) and skynet (and the eventual doomsday)

So far cloud/distributed computing is winning. Might be worth writing about how hyper-v, and unikernals could essentially eradicate malware.
>>54760345
Sorry, but Windows 10 is actually one of the more secure OS on the market. That and it's probably the topic of 100 other fucks.

Everything Arch Linux is cancer. And it's shitty deviant distros amount to unix hipsters.
Debian. CentOS. RHEL. Welcome to adulthood.
Talk about insecurity of Proprietary software. And advocate for free software.

Man I went to a bad school. I didn't have to write any sort of thesis for my bachelors.

Instruction aliasing on x86 and how this makes correct disassembly difficult
Also called junk byte, but try to focus on valid indeterminate control flows instead of opaque false predicates
If you have any understanding of cryptography, take a look at what DJB is doing with sphinx-ElGamal, but being the usual cybersec shiteater you probably are, I would take a look at some modern appliances that are internet connected and write some bullshit exploits for them.
if you're willing to pay, I'll give you a 0day for Android :)

Haha, find me a 0 day for Java, Google, or Facebook and I'll gladly shell out some bitcoins. Android's a playground for zero days, thanks for the offer though.
It's more geared towards a current development in the realm of cybersecurity. Thanks for he heads up on sphinx-EIGamal. Even if it's not my final topic, definitely worth researchig.

good luck and post back on what you decide on <3
