What is your favorite cybersecurity tool and why?

  I wouldn’t really say these are cybersecurity tools, but it’s sure as shit not Brave.

  • Sheeple@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yeah Firefox isn’t a cybersecurity tool either. It’s just a browser that happens to be free of the chromium cancer.

      And Duck Duck Go is a search engine lol

      Edit: and apparently a browser now too

  A few of those are not shown on the picture, but this is my personal list of favorites:

  • GrapheneOS

  It’s just the best, most private and secure mobile OS.

  • Signal

  End-to-end encrypted messenger with great history and track record

  • LibreWolf

  A Firefox-based browser with out-of-the-box privacy improvements and pre-installed ad-blocker

  • Mull

  Firefox for Android with privacy improvements

  • SearXNG

  Self-hostable meta-search engine

  • Whoogle

  Proxy for Google search

  • Piped

  Private YouTube frontend

  • LibreTube

  Piped client for Android

  • Notesnook

  End-to-end encrypted notes app

  • Aegis

  Good 2FA app for Android

  • Bitwarden

  Secure, FOSS password manager

    You’ve given me a lot to look into this weekend! Thank you

      Have fun! Don’t hesitate to ask me via DM if you have a question or encounter any problems as I’d say I’m quite experienced with all the tools I listed.

    Please do not tell me you use Mull over Vanadium

    source

    • netchami@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I use Vanadium for high-security tasks, but Mull is my default browser for standard browsing. It has better privacy, because it has built-in anti-fingerprinting mechanisms and you can actually install proper adblockers like uBlock Origin. Also, I don’t want to support Google’s monopoly on browser rendering engines by using a Chromium-based browser, so I prefer Mull which is based on Gecko.

  half of these are not even barely security related.

  and if you meant privacy, well, definitely none of the images either. SimpleX, SearXNG and I2P

  Brave is far from being a cybersecurity tool

  My favorites tools in this image is Aegis and Signal

  source

  • Zoidberg@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I have to say my faith in signal has been shattered since I got crosstalk on a signal conversation. I still can’t imagine how that’s possible but it was there, clear as day.

      Please elaborate?

      Explain more I didn’t undestand you.

• Mandy@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  that seems like a pretty random selection of things honestly, what qualifies as a cybersecurity tool? hows vivaldi a part of that? or openotp?

  source
• sic_semper_tyrannis@feddit.ch ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Ublock Origin as ads have lots of malware these days and browsing the internet is a normal occurance. I think looking at it that way it gets used far more than any other tool.

• kugiyasan@lemmy.one ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Why is Obsidian on the list?? How is a closed source electron app for editing markdown files a good cybersecurity tool/privacy respecting? I could use nano to do the same job with much more confidence for my privacy.

  source

  • thesmokingman@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’m not sure I follow the closed source bit. For example, Virus Total is closed source but a something used by cybersecurity professionals across the world. Most of the software that powers cloud giants is closed source and security professionals everywhere accept the shared security model.

    Closed source matters for encryption, not necessarily tooling. It’s a red herring unless you’re talking about a tool’s ability to encrypt/decrypt.

• Onii-Chan@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  GrapheneOS, Signal, Vanadium, Mullvad VPN, extremely strict permissions. I don't do much with my phone, but I still need to know I'm in control of my privacy.

  my favourite "Cyber-Security-Tool"? None of those logos up there qualify for that descrption... well... Authy perhaps...
  yet, my favourite "Cyber-Security-Tools" would be
  Configs:

  environment:
  - PUID=110XX
  - PGID=110XX
  - UMASK=002

  PasswordAuthentication no
  PermitRootLogin no

  Software:

  • Restic
  • Bitwarden

• akilou@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I use Firefox, Proton everything, Signal (for the 4 contacts who have it). I guess that’s it.

  I try to use Plex as much as possible instead of streaming services…?

  source

  • Vexz@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Sadly Plex collects some data about its users. I remember opting out of some telemetry stuff but I can't remember where that was. If you want a self-hosted streaming service like Plex that completely respects your privacy, Jellyfin is what you're looking for. I tried it and it's okay but not as good as Plex imo. But if your main focus is privacy then you should definitely check it out. It's FOSS.

    source

    • akilou@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah I tried Jellyfin too but Plex is much better. I just threw it in the list because I figured it was better than having a bunch of video and music streaming services.

• thesmokingman@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I’m not really seeing much in the way of cybersecurity tools in this thread. These are all FOSS and usable without extra cost (although some have paid upgrades)

  • Zed Attack Proxy is something I use pretty regularly.
  • Snort is a great IPS.
  • Metasploit works great with some extra tooling.
  • ClamAV is the Linux standard.
  • Fail2ban is great for hardening.
  • Crowdsec has replaced Fail2ban for a lot of folks.

  source
• Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  For security: aegis (totp manager) , keepassxc/dx (password manager), veracrypt (local encryption) and cryptomator (cloud/mobile encryption). Thats it pretty much everythng else I use is more for privacy

  Signal and Joplin. Both are awesome projects!

  I have a page on my Gemini capsule with a list of the software I use. Ask away about my reasons for any of the entries.

  Gemini | HTTPS

  I also quite like LUKS, VeraCrypt, and geli(8) for disk encryption, and I use mainly physical media (e.g. CDs) for music and video.
