Hey all. I’m heading to Quakecon 2024 tomorrow and will be repping the penguin. I’ve got all my games set up and ready, but was now wondering, are there any extra steps I should take as far as network security goes?
I’m sure I’m not as vulnerable to random badness as the flock of Windows machines that will be on the network, but you never know. The only thing on my list so far is to disable sshd. I thought about installing Portmaster but it has always messed up my DNS in the past…
I’ll probably run Wireshark just to see if I can capture anything interesting there. Do you all have any other suggestions for prepping my PC?
Don’t know anything recent, but years ago they began blocking network traffic between rows. That killed what little self hosted LAN play was still happening but kept stuff from spreading across the whole BYOC.
