This episode focuses on security for families/kids - specifically cell phone security for tweenagers. We hit a milestone in the 7MS household this year because my tweenage son got an iPhone, much to my...uhh...not excitement. So we decided to wrap the following technical and administrative controls around the phone to hopefully make it a pleasant experience for everybody:

Technical

  • I really dig the Apple family sharing controls, which let you do things like:

    • Have the phone "sleep" at certain hours
    • Limit the total amount of screen time per day
    • Require you to authorize any apps that are downloaded

  • We turned on OpenDNS to help filter inappropriate content.

  • I also use UniFi access points, which allow you to create a separate wireless SSID with a voucher system enabled on it. That way, you can hand out vouchers to kids with a defined amount of access attached to it (like 1 hour or whatever you like). We use it as a reward once the kids' chores and homework is complete.

Administrative

For our tweenager with the phone, we wrote up an agreement about acceptable use of the phone - including guidelines around the device's physical security, passwords and PINs, appropriate content, etc. You can grab a copy here

Every once in a while I thought it would be fun to go slightly off topic and talk about other stuff I’m interested in. This episode kind of has a tech twist though. I talk about how I use my iPhone and a few apps to stay at least a little bit in shape. 7MS…

I found a great bit of reading that walks you through the “plays” of hacking – enumeration, exploitation, post-exploitation, etc. It’s a great (and affordable) book called The Hacker Playbook. Cheggitowt! Download: 7MS #34: The Hacker Playbook (audio)

Network Detective is a tool we’ve been using as kind of an addendum to our full security assessment. It gives some nice, plain-English Excel spreadsheets and Word docs that report on AD health and structure, PC inventory and open ports, AV clients that aren’t working right, and a whole lot more.
