Internet Security

[QUOTE=Benchseats Rock]Just about any history editor will do fine, but not by itself.
This is my main bag of tricks as far as programs I use to maintain security.
There are more, plus a proxy, a hardware firewall, a software firewall, McAfee, spybot s&d and external, dedicated hard drives.

That is why I use Fedora

[QUOTE=Theguyed]That is why I use Fedora[/QUOTE]

Does it handle multiple networking and MCE functionality or am I better off staying with the evil empire? How involved would it be to swap out my laptop OS etc anyway?

Now I have to go and rtff over at cnet. Honestly, I would rather do that than waste a half a tank of gas looking for a sw who won't meet expectations.

Hey,

Does anyone know how safe this website is? with all the hoopla over the nsa spying led me to wonder if the LEO could trace the IP or register and try to get e mail addresses and force the ISP to reveal the id of the posters here. Maybe I'm being a little paranoid. any thoughts would be great.

[blue]Hi StreetMeat,

You are being paranoid.

The USASexGuide's server is located in Montreal, Canada, well outside the reach of the USA Legal system.

Thanks,

How does a history/internet browsing cleaner such as Crap Cleaner (CCleaner) compare to the CleanUP and the Eraser products mentioned in earlier posts??
Thanks.

I dunno about those, but cleansweep is a good one I use/have used.

I'll agree to a point, but Unix alone will not stop someone determined to get into your machine. I am ditching XP for Linux - the downtime will hurt but alot less than having MS anything in my life. As far as Mac, I always thought learning Unix was easier than dropping 3k on a winowed unix system with a killer graphics card. The NeXT machines were great back in the day, I dunno why apple never packaged them into a lappy - they could have dominated the portable market in 1990 that way, but I guess they didn't have their business hats on then.

I have found that running a LiveCD version of the Linux Operating System offers very good security. Nothing is saved on your hard drive. The best part is that it doesn't use Microsoft Windows for anything!

The hard drive version of Linux is better than windows for internet security. However if the police raid your house, they can access the files on your hard drive. That's why it's best to boot Linux from CDROM. The whole thing runs in RAM and everything you do gets lost when you turn your computer off.

Let me know if Knoppix works for you!

Hi Jackson,

You can tell us in words that your server is in Montreal, Canada but we can never be sure unless we visit your location. You could just as easily tell us your server is in Germany. I was the webmaster for an escort service a few years ago and never new where the server was physically located. You can push files to a server from anywhere in the world with internet access.

I really don't care where your server is located but I sometimes wonder what would happen if the U.S. Government offered you a few million dollars to buy your web site. I know what I would do if the price was right and wouldn't blame you for doing the same. BTW are you CIA, FBI...? Just kidding!

I guess we're all lucky that Jackson is running the show and not you.

Why should you care where the server is? I think that it is generous if nothing else to even tell us where it is, just to ease our minds. Point being that this is an incredible service that Jackson id running for us here without asking us for penny number one. Not to mention there are no pop-ups, excessive adverts etc., oh, and he'll boot without hesitation anyone smelling like LE or anyone that insinuate that there is an outside knowledge of the user database.

If his track record isn't enough for you to go on in and of itself, you should resign your membership immediately. After the denial of service attacks no Senior would rather soon forget not to mention that you don't need to provide any personal information to get on the site in the first place, I think your comment is at best out of place and at worst, anti-thetical to the concepts of trust and anonymity.

Thank you Jackson, as always, for continuing to do what it is that you do for us. Next time you're in Baltimore the beer, lodging and women will all be taken care of by us.

Not to mention that running this web site has its costs , some of which are not trivial — like Legal fees =

Is it any good?

It's free.

It's bullet-proof.

It's even got variable levels of overwrite (up to NSA Standards).

Go get it :0)

Oh, and Happy St. Patrick's Day.
