bradL Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hey, I discovered the wonderful joy of using Ubuntu on my laptop but it's not very well protected. What should I do to protect it from any malware that might be out there? Also I don't know of any packets sniffers out there for linux/ubuntu, I used wireshark in windows. Lastly is there any other network I should look into? Yes I am doing research of my own for this stuff. THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLuNK Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Make sure you have SElinux and that's it, You don't need anything other then the default advance firewall. Also don't use Ubuntu you're better off with Windows. Ubuntu is a script kiddie low life OS. Or at least "upgrade" yourself to another distro (Whatever sound better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X3N Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ubuntu is a script kiddie low life OS. aint nothin wrong with ubuntu... ubuntu made it easy for anyone to run linux if they wanted to... you cant fault them for making it easy becuase that was the whole intent. Linux for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 There is nothing wrong with ubuntu, it's easy enough to do daily your daily tasks and you are still able to do the hardcore linux stuff and wireshark is available for ubuntu, just run sudo apt-get install wireshark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLuNK Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ubuntu does to much for you... You need to get your hands dirty some times.. For example I spent the last few hours fixing X display manager, God dam bitch had a heart attack. But now I'm so happy that the problem is gone!
