Why do I have the feeling (looking at LibreVPN webpage) that it is a rip-off
of Tor and I2P? :S
That is actually a very good question that I have been wondering. With the
wireless system inside a computer being like an invisible bridge to connect
other systems, it might not be totally paranoid to think that a hardware hack
could attack a computer through that. I am not talking about
Actually, the biggest danger when using a public wifi, is the fact that
anyone can watch what your doing. I have once tried a smartphone app that
simply connected to the wifi, and was able to get access to emails and
facebook accounts. I deleted everything don't worry ;)
But it was a matter
regarding your wireless, theory... watch
30c3-5713-en-de-To_Protect_And_Infect_Part_2_webm.webm the NSA is already
doing it... it's not paranoia when it's happening.
ahhh, i don't think Tor encrypts anything... that's why they suggest using
SSL everywhere. Tor is for anonymity when browsing, NOT encryption.
in /etc/init rename ssh.conf to ssh.conf.disabled or something
How do I disable/remove the ssh server? I'd prefer to disable it.
ssh-agent is some client side thing. TBO, i really don't know what it
does...
After restarting my computer, why do I still see a process called ssh-agent
running?
wikipedia tells me, it's for securely storing SSH passwords.
Yes. Sorry, you're right.
You are wrong, I'm afraid.
Tor encrypts everything before sending it to the Tor Network. So, anyone
spying on YOUR side of the connection will not see anything except that you
are speaking to the Tor network. 3 layers of encryption are applied. Each
node (guardian, middle relay, and exit
Regarding original post, firewall is the least of the concern here.
* All public hotspots are hackable.
* HTTPS doesn't help much thanks to old implementations of SSL and SSLStrip.
You should:
1) Use a reputable VPN service to protect anyone from both gaining access to
your computer as well
Is there a good way to get all of my network services talking to Tor like I
can with Orbot on my Replicant device? I suppose that's a question for
another thread...
What are some good packages to help me lock down my Trisquel netbook? I've
been using open wireless networks a lot lately in cafes and at work and I
want to make sure I'm keeping ports closed and general access to my machine
restricted.
Thanks!
The only server there is by default is the ssh server. If you don't use it,
remove it.
