[QUOTE="93803123, post: 838536"] I am in an academic environment so most people around here use Linux of MacOS. Lots of kids from wealthy families. The parents buy them top of the line spec'd out $3500 MacBook Pro 15s. I've seen a few i7 SurfaceBook Pro 15s in use. Again $3000 machines. With Linux and MacOS, the security mindset is different. Plus, these people aren't interested in security. They got other priorities, like getting laid. Online places like this forum are a vestige of a paradigm and era that is an anachronism. Out of the 100+ Mudders that I know, I think I would say that only 3 are security enthusiasts. Out of those 3, I'm the only one who is really interested in it. Back in the day these forums were serious about InfoSec. Nowadays they are more or less social media platforms. I am guessing that most people here just want free or low-cost and want to play with every security software that they can get their hands on. Then once they've arrived at a favorite, they just want to defend it as best. They are just reinforcing their own decisions because they want their choices and decisions to be the best. Sound about right ? [/QUOTE]
