Ensure when setting up your system you do not use the same password
twice, or the same password you use anywhere else. Each password should
be unique and should consist of Upper and Lower case letters, Numbers

Disabling ping on a workstation that is guaranteed to be behind a router
is pointless. Even if the workstation was directly connected to the
internet disabling ping is pointless. It will only make future
troubleshooting of network issues more difficult. Your internet presence
is not hidden by disabling ping.
