    Everyone’s security profike/needs are different. The point is that list does a hell of a lot more useful than ClamAV

      True, but like you said, on a per user basis. The typical desktop user isn’t going to have a clue about a text-based interface, unless they vaguely remember DOS or a room sized computer back in college that used the same terminal conventions that Linux still uses today

        Sounds like you’ve got a better solution, but I think you forgot to mention what it was.

  For the automating of reinstalls what do you mean?

  Is it just a playbook that installs the distro, them installs the same packages, and then restores things like /home from backup?

    That, and:

    • put down config files that were modified
    • enable/start services that were installed
    • modify the firewall to open necessary ports

    Basically: put everything back as it was right before the ransomware encrypted your entire system on you.

      How would you determine the configs that were modified? What do you mean put down?

        Ideally you keep your configs in a git repo (like github). You know what’s modified because you’re the one who modified them. If you modify them - put that config file in the git repo.

        As for “put down” I just meant copied to the system (from github) by your automation (like ansible)
