Hi Cinnamon,
I'm glad I could help.
I learned a lot on this website: http://www.insanitybit.com
Maybe it can help you in the same way it helped me.
Hi Sim,
Those measures should match to my threat model - well really all of us must
take steps to protect ourselves to some degree. I am trying to explore that
boundary between convenience and security. I will try to read up on mprotect
and apparmor - this is the first time I've heard
Thanks marioxcc, It seems I am learning a lot about copyright law here - it
is very complex, but now I can see why it would automatically be proprietary
software.
I don't use any scripts to harden my operating system because in doing the
hardening tasks myself I can choose at each step how many convenience I'm
willing to sacrifice for security. In my threat model I focus on crackers
from outside because I'm the only person who has physical access to
I'm glad that you found my comment useful.
It does seem that it would be proprietary software, but I want to put this

because someone convinced him - but it didn't say why. I know google chrome
is not secure and should not trust the script. Icedove is better than
thunderbird like you said. It's unfortunate the state of usability of
Hi is there a harden trisquel script?
I know there are several guides to increase the security of our os like
ubuntu https://github.com/micahflee/linux_harden but it is not quite
compatible with trisquel.
I think it should be rather compatible with Trisquel (which is based on
Ubuntu), but.
Google Chrome Does. Not. make the system more secure (it's Google's browser,
for goodness' sake!), and Thunderbird is what you've got with Icedove, pretty
much.
Having said that I think you can do
Bear in mind that security doesn't comes canned (metaphorically). You can use
scripts to automate part of the process of securing a system, but you
shouldn't rely on them to “harden” or whatever it claims to do if you
don't understand what they do or why you would need such a thing. The Tor
