Any vulnerability is an attack vector. What a security expert! Maybe you can at least read a figure and understand that they are not the same: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/2010-T10-ArchitectureDiagram.png It comes from the Wikipedia article on vulnerability (computing): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulnerability_%28computing%29 The article starts with a definition: Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. That applies to the security bug in Bash before Shellshock was corrected. That does not apply to 'dhclient' that did not contain any system susceptibility or flaw. There was no vulnerability in 'dhclient'. Nothing to fix. And nothing was fixed. 'dhclient' was one of the vectors through which the attacker had access to the flaw and could exploit the flaw. That is the definition of an exploit vector. The description of the figure in the article says it: a threat agent through an attack vector exploits a weakness (vulnerability) of the system

Does deja-dup-monitor run automatically by default once a month? I chose weekly backups. That can be configured of course.

It is impressive how much bullshit you can pack up in a post! My favorite one is quidam not using Trisquel.
[Trisquel-users] Re : I wondered how does one set up duplicity/duply on trisquel?
When I asked him if thats because he doesn't even use trisquel and prefers debian, he got offended and said he was done talking to me. Quidam is Trisquel's leader. Of course, he uses Trisquel. Stop trolling around.
[Trisquel-users] Re : I wondered how does one set up duplicity/duply on trisquel?
I believe he uses debian. So, one more time, you don't know. You just assume that people are frauds and shout it on the forum and the IRC. Like you wrote: you just piss off people on the Internet.

Either you consider the GRUB password is useless (and https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Security says it is useless in almost all situations) and it makes no sense that you want /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD back or you consider that it brings some security and it makes no sense that you laugh at pizzaiolo because he does no want to tell his password. Either way, I actually think it does not make sense to laugh at pizzaiolo. If someone ignores something you know, you can teach him/her. It turns out you know close to nothing about security. So you had better learn than teach and you had better listen than keep on bragging about how expert you are. An expert that believes his system is repetitively compromised (how effective you are!), who cannot read code, who believes Shellshock is due to a vulnerability in 'dhclient', who thinks that backdoors in Windows are overrated, etc. And, above all, someone who makes things up out of thin air and calling everyone a fraud: jxslef would distribute blobs in his kernel, quidam would not run Trisquel, etc. You are ridiculous.
[Trisquel-users] Re : I wondered how does one set up duplicity/duply on trisquel?
Yes, 'dhclient' was a remote exploit vector. This is precisely what I wrote. Do you know the difference between having a vulnerability and being an attack vector? You obviously don't. Who is foolish? I guess the one who was banned from like 8 freenode rooms for complaining about dhclient being vulnerable, i.e., you.

Déjà-Dup can encrypt the files with GPG (using a symmetric cipher) and can backup to a computer though SSH. Just look at its Storage tab. When you setup the backup, encryption will be proposed.
