[QUOTE="kongchaos, post: 978916, member: 94538"] Hello. I'd say this is a very complex question, and many people might have different opinion about how to deal with them. In the past many would recommend moving to Linux based distros, like they would be safer than windows. Some even would say Apple products were safer. Nowadays everyone agrees there's no such a thing. An extensive list of vulnerabilities exist for most systems, and they keep pooping out. Ex: [URL='https://www.howtogeek.com/790435/new-dirty-pipe-linux-vulnerability-is-the-worst-in-years/']Dirty pipe[/URL] Not to mention the need to use windows for some tasks which have no parallel alternative on Linux. That being said, I'd like to focus on the topic subject. I'm not an IT Security Expert, though I've concerns about security, especially when malware can be used to steal large sums of money in a few minutes like stealing [B][I]crypto wallets[/I][/B], or destroying important files like pics of a [I]decea[/I]sed loved one. [SPOILER="Newbie"]I know backups can avoid this, but just theoretically[/SPOILER] I've seen good information at the [URL='https://malwaretips.com/forums/computer-security-configuration.12/']Computer Security[/URL] section, but it lacks this detailed information to help me understand what am I protected against and what I'm not. So I'd like to ask for the experts to kindly help me list known threats and the tools or configs to help protecting against them. Please feel free to add everything we possibly can to make a comprehensive list. Even hardware flaws like [URL='https://www.csoonline.com/article/3652525/new-attack-bypasses-hardware-defenses-for-spectre-flaw-in-intel-and-arm-cpus.html']Spectre[/URL], or those who don't have any known way to be prevented like an UEFI or BIOS flaws. Please If more than one tool is needed, add that too. I think this would help not me, but the majority of the community who are not specialists. I would make it look like this: [COLOR=red]TROJAN[/COLOR] - [COLOR=#0000cc]WINDOWS SECURITY[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]LOLBINS[/COLOR] - [COLOR=#0000cc]H_C[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]FILELESS ATTACK[/COLOR] - [COLOR=#0000cc]???[/COLOR] ...
