Face it – it’s going to happen. It’s going to happen to you, it’s going to happen to your company and it’s definitely happened to me!…

This guidance was developed following testing on devices running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It's important to remember that this guidance has been conceived as a way to satisfy the 12 End User Device Security Principles. As such, it consists of recommendations and should not be seen as a set of mandatory instructions requiring no further thought.

Am heutigen Donnerstag beschließt der Bundestag ein weitreichendes Überwachungsgesetz. Wir analysieren es Satz für Satz und erklären, warum es wohl verfassungswidrig ist.

XPrivacy can prevent applications from leaking privacy-sensitive data by restricting the categories of data an application can access. XPrivacy feeds applications fake data or no data at all. It can restrict several data categories, such as contacts or location. For example, if you restrict an application's access to contacts, that application will receive an empty contacts list (don't try this with the contacts application itself without a backup). Similarly, restricting an application's access to your location will send a fake location to that application.

Get a public key, safely, starting just with someone's social media username(s). Keybase is a website, but it's also an open source command line program. Let's walk through an example, which illustrates what Keybase does. All of this can be embedded into other software, written by anyone.

fuzzdb aggregates known attack patterns, predictable resource names, server response messages, and other resources like web shells into the most comprehensive Open Source database of malicious and malformed input test cases.

TextSecure

An secure text messaging application for Android.

TextSecure is a replacement for the standard text messaging application, allowing you to send and receive text messages as normal. Additionally, TextSecure provides:

Local Encryption -- All text messages, regardless of destination, that are sent or received with TextSecure are stored in an encrypted database on your phone.
Wire Encryption -- When communicating with a recipient who is also using TextSecure, text messages are encrypted during transmission.

VirusTotal is a service developed by Hispasec Sistemas that analyzes suspicious files and URLs enabling the identification of viruses, worms, trojans and other kinds of malicious content detected by antivirus engines and web analysis toolbars.

VirusTotal's main characteristics are:

Free, independent service.
Runs multiple antivirus engines.
Runs multiple file characterization tools.
Real time automatic updates of virus signatures.
Detailed results from each antivirus engine.
Runs multiple web site inspection toolbars.
Real time global statistics.
Analysis automation API.
Online malware research community.
Desktop applications (VTUploader, VTzilla) for interacting with the service.

Crypto++ Library is a free C++ class library of cryptographic schemes. Currently the library contains the following algorithms:

This is an API addition to Sun's JavaMail API which provides simple encryption and decryption of emails using S/MIME and/or OpenPGP. The intent is to provide a single, easy-to-use API for email clients that want to send and received encrypted email in either of the two most popular email encryption formats.

Firewalls have long been a mainstay of corporate security - but when it comes to Web services, they may well provide no security at all, because they can only filter at the packet level, and can't examine the contents of messages. Considering that Web services traffic may account for 25 percent of all enterprise traffic by 2006 according to the ZapThink Web services consulting group, that is a serious problem for any business looking to use Web services.

Adeona is the first Open Source system for tracking the location of your lost or stolen laptop that does not rely on a proprietary, central service. This means that you can install Adeona on your laptop and go — there's no need to rely on a single third party. What's more, Adeona addresses a critical privacy goal different from existing commercial offerings. It is privacy-preserving. This means that no one besides the owner (or an agent of the owner's choosing) can use Adeona to track a laptop. Unlike other systems, users of Adeona can rest assured that no one can abuse the system in order to track where they use their laptop.

Keyczar is an open source cryptographic toolkit designed to make it easier and safer for developers to use cryptography in their applications. Keyczar supports authentication and encryption with both symmetric and asymmetric keys. Some features of Keyczar include:

* A simple API
* Key rotation and versioning
* Safe default algorithms, modes, and key lengths
* Automated generation of initialization vectors and ciphertext signatures
* Java and Python implementations (C++ coming soon)
* International support in Java (Python coming soon)

Perspectives is a new approach to help clients securely identify Internet servers in order to avoid "man-in-the-middle" attacks. Perspectives is simple and cheap compared to existing approaches because it automatically builds a robust database of network identities using lightweight network probing by "network notaries" located in multiple vantage points across the Internet.
