What is normal to do for security on your workstation machine? I probably go way too far xD I have BIOS and GRUB locked down, use full disk encryption, apparmor, firejail, nftables, tripwire, clamav and rkhunter. I also disabled all unused services and removed unused software. I hardened SSH and added known domains used for malicious stuff to /etc/hosts My firefox is also hardened. What else could I do? I enjoy doing stuff like this. Most of the information is for servers though.

@malin I don't have fail2ban on my workstation bc I tend to mistype my passwords alot. I do have it enabled on my PiHole for SSH though.

@Tutanota I was a Protonmail user until I switched to F-Droid. They don't offer an app. And I must say I like Tutanota more!

A question for people working in #cybersecurity: I'm starting to get more inteterested in blue team stuff but don't really know what a actual good SIEM is. From what I'm reading there isn't really any good open source solution. OSSIM seems to lack a lot of features, ELK Stack isn't a full SIEM solution and I even see people mentioning Snort and OSSEC while those are IDSes? What is the best software to pick? Or shouldn't I even bother going with the open source stuff and use Splunk?

@Ghosty What's the usual amount of packages you have installed?

@Ghosty How!? I thought I had 700 installed when I was using Void and Arch. And I mostly remove stuff instead of installing stuff.....

I honestly feel like I shouldn't get a job in IT. My Linux/Programming hobby is probably gonna dissapear. I don't even like Windows(Server) and taking calls. After work I won't have the time/energy to learn/do FOSS/Linux/Security stuff.

This is everything I wanna learn. It's so much...... I should probably get a networking job and hope I get to manage the Linux servers and help the security team or something. But first I gotta survive my IT Support job with angry old people who can't even realize their monitor and PC are two different things.... XD L+. N+. S+. LPIC. CCNA. CEH. RHCSA. CCNP. CISA.RHCSE. CCIE. CISSP.Powershell, Bash, Python, C/C++, RubyAnsible, Puppet, Docker, Kubernetes, Chef

@architect Just looked at some code. And damn that's easy to read. Thanks! I'm not really known in the coding world so I've never even heard of it tbh. Coding is also probably something I'm gonna do after I get my LPIC, CCNA and CEH. Or while I'm doing those. I might never touch the other certs. Just depends on what job I have.

@architect I've had 3 years of Cisco at school. They wanted us to get the CCNA but that didn't go through. I just need to get some older Cisco routers and switches and dive into some books again and I will be fine

@architect I will probably start out with Powershell cause that will be the most useful for my (hopefully) current job. And after that I will start with POSIX. Then I hope I can get some junior networking function in some company and learn Python because apparently Python gets used a lot with Cisco. When I get that done I will see what I do next. Maybe learning javascript, php and mysql would be better bc of all the webapps. But I hate those 3 xD I had some PHP for each, for loop stuff in school

@architect You mean how TCP/IP and the OSI model work? Cause I know that. I don't really know how HTTP, SIP, FTP etc. work but I know what they do and get used for. I also know basically every common port out there. I know what VLAN, Trunking, OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, STP etc. is. I have configured all of them but it always felt way too simple for it to be true but I guess it is. Idk how to harden switches and routers but that won't be science I hope xD Every company here wants to see certs though.
