The sad truth is Congress is the biggest offender of poor network security practices. Every time they bring in Equifax, DHS, etc to explain why they didn't practice basic IT security due diligence or due care I am reminded of the time smart people were hired to implement basic network security for Congress. Once they realized Joe in IT (who was hired to keep hackers out) can see Congressman Bob has a foot fetish, fish fetish, whatever, Congress told IT to turn everything off.

Building the skills to bypass it is a win. That is also learning.

Main goal is to get children under twelve to go outside, jump in puddles, ride their bikes. My daughter did 10 rounds of this once, 10 hours of youtube with 5 multiplication problems each hour and eventually decided youtube wasn't worth it. It helps children to disconnect for a couple minutes and re-evaluate their summer day life choices.

Vulnhub has hundreds of virtual machine images you can download and practice with, such as metasploitable. Hack the box is great. If you want to read a blog post describing how to get admin or root on a box, google boxname walkthrough with vulnhub or hack the box in the search as well. Ippsecs's 90+ youtube videos are excellent. Check out metasploit minute videos. I also heard pentestlabs is good. Good luck!

Fair question. There are a number of differences between apps like Freedom and StudyCity. We are aware of the recent VPN rules. StudyCity simply needs a gate to direct the student / child to take a couple of minutes to earn points on Khan Academy or another supported site. The gate can be implemented in many ways. At the moment, this is all the detail I can provide.

My iOS app studycity may provide what you are looking for. If not, we might be able to modify it to provide some of the features freedom did.

One way to use this plugin would be to break tasks down into manageable pieces. It is usually easier to motivate yourself to knock out a 15 min task than to do a 4 hour task.
