Spyware and OPSEC

[Hrusai]

security always depends on your level of paranoia in my eyes, if i wanted to go full scale i'd run everything from a disposable memory stick with a copy of ubuntu or some such and run everything in a virtual machine, along with having TOR and pgp encryption setup to protect my internet presence and probably multiple other things, i'd also backup all important info on several places, at least 1 external harddrive, a private server so i can access things anywhere and various other things as well

the other advantage of having all your stuff like that is you can access your stuff from any computer, and any computer you plug your memory stick will boot up into your own OS

just my 2 pence, personally i dont bother with much security, used to go mental with it, but dont see the point much, although i do plan on taking some new precautions soon

great post paul

well depends how paranoid you are, there are systems by which you can protect your computer entirely, and your indentity, personally i'd set up a linux based OS on a memory stick install a few programs on it, like a virtual sandbox and tor, then enjoy being anonymous and protected
