Nick @ The Linux Experiment

In today's video, I decided to take a look at some tools and applications you can use to improve your #privacy and #security on #linux

From internet connection monitoring tools, system wide ad and tracker blockers, sandboxing tools, or permission control apps, to file shredders, and encryption, I think it should help expand your Linux toolbox, with #OpenSource tools to keep control on what your system and apps can do!

@thelinuxEXP
many thanks for the video!

I still dont like ecryptfs, first of all you can attack the key if you have a file stored on it and you have the cleartext portion of it. Secondly they once had a bug open for at least 4 years where you could read out an unsalted checksum of your password as regular user, add a bit of computing power and boom!

@thelinuxEXP Thanks for the ClamAV reminder! I haven't had it installed since my OSX days. But, it makes sense to run now and again.

@thelinuxEXP Hope you didn't forget to include @noscript as the main way infections spread from compromised websites is through #JavaScript.

We already know.. NordVPN.. All youtubers say you are 100% safe when using it! You can install malware while on NordVPN and you will be protected... You can log-on to Facebook and post private informations, and if you use NordVPN, it will remain private!

I don't need to watch the video... I use NordVPN

@Normand_Nadon Yeah, some influencers might have gone overboard with the promise of safety on this oneโ€ฆ

@thelinuxEXP @QubesOS hope you'll find a few hours to give it a try, it's definitely worth it. The concept is interesting by itself.
