My journey began around 2019, when I was preparing for university. I remember, buying the first *"throwaway"* laptop of mine (which later turned about to be one of my faviourite machines when travelling, but more on that on an other time) to experience the joy of Linux. | ||
|
||
I installed Ubuntu (at the time probably 18 LTS) on it and started my journey. If I am not mistaken one of the main selling points for me was that Linux does not have any viruses for desktop users and it is just so customizable. I actually loved the idea, because due to sailing the seas, I did manage to get myself infected in the past, only my Eset antivirus preventing total annihilation from a ransomware... | ||
|
||
Many years later, I realize that just how naive we are were and still are, thinking that a basic Ubuntu installation is actually secure, and I do not mean Ubuntu specifically (Canonical does actually some really sane defaults), but things that most of us miss. | ||
|
||
Today I use Linux for everything, including gaming, development, making calls, editing text or media and I even host my own public-facing server. | ||
|
||
In this series of scratching my own thoughts on this virtual piece of paper I would like to invite you to explore the following security plot-holes in the story of using desktop Linux: | ||
|
||
- Booting securely | ||
- Separating users' and the system's data | ||
- Securing system services | ||
- Using multifactor authentication | ||
- Securing our browser | ||
- Encryption without passwords | ||
- Sandboxing our programs and systems |
