I'm surprised that nobody mentioned anything about the use of the gets() function:

Code: [Select]

gets(cnic);
Never use gets(), ever. Sweet jesus buffer-overflow christ..

Correct.
fgets(cnic, 12, stdin);
Would be better.

Why doesn't anyone ever mention Gentoo?

Because he asked for a distro suitable for starters?
I guess so...

Some consider it a broken system: http://linux.die.net/man/7/urxvt (see the second paragraph in the FAQ).

Yep, that's true. But my guess wold be that the author has some reason to say that, although it is a bit harsh criticism.

Actually he either joking or thrash posting... This is absolutely lies, Gentoo compilers are working efficiently it is actually a "compiled from the source" distro. This couldn't even be funny as a joke really. And of course urxvt are available and working efficiently, you can test it yourself...

Either way Gentoo is a great system. Those rumours that Gentoo is corrupted and many things break etc could apply in any distro which adopts to the philosophy of "compile from the source" and are absolutely thrash talking. The fact that the distro give you the ability to customize everything is not a proof that it is corrupted or unstable distro. Distros like Gentoo, Slackware, FreeBSD etc are totally depended on the hands of the guy who maintain them. So they can either be corrupt-unstable (on a bad use) or even stabler than the ones that claim to be stable enough by default (on a proper use). Its all about skills and experience.

So please don't reproduce this...

Simply changing your os won't do anything. There is a great tutorial on this subject in anonymity section. https://evilzone.org/anonymity/the-art-of-anonymity-9178/ Read this

Of course it will.
When we speak about micro$oft... I bet that more than 90% of malware are written to run on micro$oft OSes.

The change it self won't make you invisible of course... but its one step forward to the road of anonimity [Living micro$oft behind].

That's not nescessarily true.

This OS has been modified heavily specifically for the purpose of increasing anonymity.

With that said, there are other considerations, such as behavior patterns that contribute to an overall opsec. But for the general user, something like TAILS would be sufficient in most cases.

Tails is made to run on Live Boot.
I think he is talking about installing a new OS as his main system.

@OP:
As I said to one of my responses above, changing to Linux will not magically give you the solution but it is a very important step that you have to make (or generally changing to another Unix-like operating system).

Now if you are concerned about privacy for specific actions you sometimes do on the internet and not generally. A very good-easy solution would be to use Tails on live-boot from a usb as cyberdrifter already mentioned.

Fuck smartphones, let the dumb people use that shit.

Enough said already I guess...

If someone buy and use those things.. then its his fault. All you have to do to avoid being vulnerable by those things is... to don't buy/use them. Use a computer when you need a computer and a simple phone when you need a phone.

Though globalization's trick with those things is one of the best tricks ever with the obvious end-goal to control more the human mass. From the day this "smart"phones arrived on the public market and available prices for everyone... everybody were soooo motivated to get more vulnerable lol. At least on my country where the IQ level ain't good on the average human.

McDonnalds and all the similar "businesses" produce their food from mutated animals, full-filling them with specific drug-chemicals so they can produce more meat each of them, ending up to be mutated when they slaughter them. So do their children and so on...

They are actually cancer producers... and not food producers.

Well Aniston was a paradigm, it could be replaced by any (also young) gorgeous woman like her. Paranoia was kinda metaphoric... The thing is that lifting should not be a factor imo.

But nevermind.

I am currently single, but I would definitely take my girl to the gym working out (I can't have a girlfriend who doesn't work out).

What if Jennifer Aniston would like to date you, but she never work out. Then on the date see asks you to be her boyfriend. Would you reject her just for not working out Phage? 

I am absolutely happy with this combo --> Adblock Edge, Disconnect, HTTPS Everywhere, FoxyProxy.
