TheSteampunkHedgehog's Security Config

[TheSteampunkHedgehog]

My general security idea is to "not do anything stupid."
I run all my samples in a VirtualBox machine that is completely isolated (network disabled, shared folders read only, no USB etc)

I've never been hit by any serious malware (back when I was using WIndows), I only got some adware like Conduit.

Linux is not without malwares (even if they are very few), you have some Rootkit scanners (you can check your repositories with "rootkit as keywords)

except that your config is:

Approved by Staff

That configuration is already approve and infection rate are very minimal, no more any additional tools to be include unless you explore through its repositories.

Exchange Adblock Plus with uBlock Origin, also consider adding ClamAV or Comodo.

Nice config! Thanks for sharing it

Sophos also has a free AV with real-time i guess for Linux

Sorry for the timely response everyone, I've been quite busy preparing my writeup for a malware sample! (coming soon)
Umbra: I absolutely completely forgot about stuff like chkrootkit and rkhunter! Which do you recommend?
Mr. Tech: I've used uBlock Origin before and have no idea why I went back to ABP, I won't switch back for now but I may if the memory usage gets too high
Exterminator20: No problem. Happy to share!
Secondmineboy: I've heard about their AV (I read their blogs a lot) but I'm not sure if it's commercial and I think I'll be fine with chkrootkit or rkhunter, but I will try it some day.
