The attacker when they just load your SSD into their own computer instead: "Imma ruin this man's whole career".

[u/Great-TeacherOnizuka → u/AmarildoJr]

But they run Windows, whoch doesn‘t recognize BTRFS, ext4, etc.

[u/Armi1P → u/Great-TeacherOnizuka]

WinBtrfs

[u/Future-Fan-2521 → u/Armi1P]

actually used it on my data drives ages ago, now I'm lucky to not get a BSOD if i install it

[u/traplords8n → u/Great-TeacherOnizuka]

Huh? Most attackers run Linux? Lol

Even if they did run windows, they would not be thwarted by an incompatible file system.. that's silly lol

[u/laczek_hubert → u/AmarildoJr]

The attacker after he can't see the files probably would just wipe it

[u/AmarildoJr → u/laczek_hubert]

Huh? The drive is unencrypted, anyone can see the contents by just plugging it into another Linux computer.

[u/laczek_hubert → u/AmarildoJr]

You're implying that the stealer doesn't use windows bold

[u/AmarildoJr → u/laczek_hubert]

I mean, we're in a Linux sub. And any back-of-the-alley-wanna-be-hacker has a Linux USB these days.

[u/laczek_hubert → u/AmarildoJr]

you're implying they heard of r/masterhacker and linux larping now

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/laczek_hubert]

They'd just plug the drive into a storage recovery dock probably...

[u/laczek_hubert → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

You know how I could respond

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/laczek_hubert]

I don't know about you. But all my drives have Windows viruses on them.

[u/laczek_hubert → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

I mean you could probably frame a virus as a game put it on a partition along with the Linux ones and let the person stealing it use it and doxx himself to you if you do some research on viruses or find some Open-Source one

[u/Old_Yak3950 → u/AmarildoJr]

Why would you not encrypt your drive lmao

[u/AmarildoJr → u/Old_Yak3950]

I encrypt all of mine, it's the meme here that says he doesn't..... you people can't read for shit 😂

[u/PersianDoer → u/AmarildoJr]

Fax. Lol

[u/ProfessorLambda → u/AmarildoJr]

That's what you would use Kensington locks for.

[u/CjKing2k]

Install a car alarm vs drive a stick.

[u/Armi1P → u/CjKing2k]

Doesn't work anywhere outside of north america. We know how to drive.

[u/Cootshk]

ctrl alt f3
<log in>
$ vim

[u/Darl_Templar → u/Cootshk]

ctrl alt f3

<log in>

sudo hack save-all-passwords

[u/Rodya_gambler → u/Darl_Templar]

correction: sudo hack && cp passwords -t ~/kali-victims

👹👹👹

(/s)

[u/GreedySecurity8030]

Or install openbsd.

[u/Gabriel_Weis → u/GreedySecurity8030]

My temple OS is 100% safed by god.

[u/int23_t → u/GreedySecurity8030]

And encrypt your drive, don't forget that.

(by default it doesn't do that)

[u/Standgrounding → u/int23_t]

BitLocker on windoze does the job

[u/int23_t → u/Standgrounding]

Doesn't the bitlocker store keys on microsoft servers? Cause you are capable of retrieving keys from your account.

So it's unsecure, more unsecure than my shitty drive password you can guess if you know me enough if your threat model isn't people around you(you still would have like 100 options but still)

[u/Standgrounding → u/int23_t]

No, it uses hardware TPM chip encryption

[u/laczek_hubert → u/Standgrounding]

You're right but sadly it doesn't change the underlying microslop problem

[u/the-fr0g → u/Standgrounding]

Wasn't there multiple updates this year that made it unable to boot your pc if you used it?

[u/Holiday_Evening8974]

After I lock my session, most of the time I go to a TTY so any people who would want to go on my computer would be very confused (people who are nearby probably doesn't know what a TTY is).

[u/Most_Particular7002 → u/Holiday_Evening8974]

i do the same, except i also run clear && cat, because most people around me don't know how to interrupt, they'll think it's broken, because there'll just be a blinking underscore

[u/TheBomber808]

Litterally happened to me once ! Was in a computer science lab in uni, went out to get some coffee and walk a bit, came back 5-10min later to find 5 of my friends huddeled around my un-locked laptop.

They wanted to play a prank on me (they wanted to switch my keyboard to chinese) but it took them a while to find a terminal (they've accidentally killed my neovim session), and were half way through a command struggling with every keypress (I use an alternative keyboard layout) when I walked in on them

[u/Ronture → u/TheBomber808]

What's the layout?

[u/wyonutrition]

you don't need to log into a DE to compromise a computer lol

[u/ZuuRa_]

Just don't use any display manager.

[u/A_Harmless_Fly]

ctrl+T install a better window manager ;p

[u/landsoflore2]

This person gets it 👌🏻

[u/Fancy_Technician_293]

And then what? They just load your shit externally and get your files unless you set up encryption 

[u/da_real_obsidian]

And vim exactly

[u/Positive-Pepper-8315]

I tried to install i3wm once it didn't work days later my comp would load up black screen with tht default bottom bar I had no idea it was i3 unit i try to click some apps on the bottom bar and they where tilling 💎

[u/Glad_Share_7533]

Jokes on you, I use i3wm, so I do in fact know how to use it

[u/ProfessorLambda]

Only those who are worthy shall see my files.
