moose-en-a-gant Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 So... browsing gmail and I see this email with a person's name... I don't know the person... I'm not usually a noob. Luckily in a way I use linux but I'm concerned about key logging... again Linux... not sure if still equally vulnerable to windows. I upload the file and scan it here, nothing https://www.virustotal.com/ https, trustworthy right? Still... I'm inclined to load up my Linux Mint 17 Qianna DVD and install clean Nothing really to lose, just have to reinstall files, upload some files to my server and then redownload them. Yeah it says "You've won $500,000.00 just write down all of your information and send it here hahaha it even has a signature... Oh man... so... am I being paranoid? Should I not care? I don't know.

moose-en-a-gant Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Well I wiped my computer anyway Brings some ideas to mind, multiple partitions on hard disk drives Running a mobile operating system on a micro sd card I'd like to look into a 'glove-type' operating system <- made that up Where the operating system operates independent of the main operating system but has no interent access I don't know if it is impossible to completely isolate an operating system from transfer but still affect things outside of itself It would be cool to "chain-reaction" build an operating system from nothing, like say you buy a phone, then you load in a sim card and this sim card has a very basic instruction on it that starts a chain reaction that builds a secondary os within the primary os... anyway just thinking without knowing their so could be completely BS but... Definitely on my mind is privacy and security, I want to know that I am completely secure. It would be cool to have personal devices manufactured for me, like the Samsung Edge or whatever came out, why wasn't it entirely made of glass? I don't know or an extruded rectangle with rounded ends like the Lumia 920's shape, glass all around except the ends like endcaps to a pipe. Or ideally the entire thing is transparent, graphene? Anyway, build a dual motherboard phone, you have two phones on each side, anyway... would be cool to create any color scheme that you want, phone charges from sound, vibration, heat from your hand and solar. Opacity, color, every part of the surface is an LED... just rambling here Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/294397-downloaded-an-unkown-pdf-like-an-idiot-scanned-it-safe-wipe-still/#findComment-1504940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
