How safe is running from hard drive?
Hi, 8-bit
Euh... running a W. program through wine on Linux is NOT the same thing as running a
W. program directly in Linux. You simply can't run a W. program directly in Linux. Try it
and you'll see: nothing will happen.
I'd suggest a search in the Internet about your problem to be sure, but it would be logical
that the malware thinks it's running on a real W. system and try to attack the wine structure.
But once out of wine, back in your real Linux, the malware can't do anything: it's not the
same folder structure, and W. executables just won't run in Linux.
BFN.

Lets say you had 1 or more "improper-poweroff" events...8-bit wrote:This goes along with the problems I had been having with my Desktop in locking up and getting blue screen crash dumps in windows as well as lockups there too.
And I have checked the hard drives, processor, and memory with tests from the Windows recovery manager, chkdsk in windows and using e2fsck in linux.
And I still think some nasty has gotten onto one or both of my drives.
Then you scanned and fixed the PFS [partition-filesystem], so that the PFS was now OK...
The act of scanning&fixing might create "orphan file fragments", so that the folder/file system might then have gaps or missing portions, so would no longer function fully [not function as it aught]...
Since certain files are incomplete.
The way to then fix that would be to restore...
Perhaps an image backup ...
Or scan&fix the PFS then restore all of the partitions' folders/files [I normally use Puppy->Xfe to do this].
Whatever would return a good/complete folder/file/PFS system.

Which suggests [that at least] the PFS is OK.
Hi!
@ all
I've been studying the man for chmod and came up with the following, as a refinement
of my previous post on the subject. Any ideas as to how to improve this little script are welcome. (Since this is not exactly intuitive...)
(Corrected Jan 27, 2014: last line in the code above should have read /root, not /root/Documents. Sorry about that.)
Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all
# Exercise 1)
# Specify user only permissions for a folder named "Documents" in /root.
# Step 1
chmod -v -R uga-rwx /root/Document # Remove all rights to anyone for the folder and all the files in it, in verbose mode.
# Step 2
chmod -v -R u+rw /root/Document # Give back read and write rights to the user only for the folder and all files in it, in verbose mode.
# Step 3
chmod -v u=rwx /root/Documents # Give back search rights to the user only for the folder, in verbose mode.
####
# Exercise 2)
# Specify user only permissions for all folders in /root.
# Step 1
chmod -v -R uga-rwx /root # Remove all rights to anyone for the folder and all the files in it, in verbose mode.
# Step 2
chmod -v -R u+rwx /root # Give back read, write, and search or execute rights to the user only for the root folder and all files in it, in verbose mode.
Thanks in advance.

I put sites I allow javascript to run in the "NoScript" whitelist.
It appears Opera has several addons with similar capabilities, e.g. Script Defender.

There seem to be alternatives to NoScript for Opera , which have a whitelist system, (only websites on the whitelist are permitted to use JavaScript FlashPlayer JavaApplets etc), but I've never tried these alternatives to NoScript.

However Keylogger could be used ethically : imagine you've filled in an on-line form only for something to go wrong,
you can retrieve a copy of what you've typed from the keylogger rather than type-in all the data again.

Maybe a typing tutor would do a better job of it? Here's a short list:
