[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1084568"] Probably the fact that Flatpaks are made by developers not associated with the original software which in itself is reason alone. Ubuntu is still shipping Flatpaks with the sandbox escape vulnerability that is widely known. The current " CVE-2024-32462 " allows a malicious or compromised Flatpak app the ability to execute arbitrary code outside its sandbox. Need a list of reasons why sticking to Official mint repo is intelligent. [USER=96560]@Victor M[/USER] Looks like you need to present them a Linux challenge. Using Lynis system auditing to harden your installation then using other open-source tools for monitoring and prevention. Samhain HIDS and Suricata IDS/IPS [URL unfurl="true"]https://ibb.co/MkPCY1h[/URL] Samhain is a host based intrusion detection system that monitors the file system for changes. Log file and port monitoring/analysis with detection of rogue SUID executables and hidden processes. Another alternative is Tripwire HIDS. Suricata is a network IDS/IPS (intrusion detection/prevention system) It runs in basically two modes. Detection mode which will log and alert the user so they can investigate, and a Prevention mode which will block attempts. It monitors network traffic for suspicious activity by comparing it to a database of known threats and pre-defined rules. Users can also create custom rules as well. [/QUOTE]
