I created this thread to clear away the smoke and mirrors associated with "security" and to dispel misconceptions about it.
ITT we shall discuss the nitty gritty of security and clarify just what it means to be secure.
The flavor of discussion I would like would be:
>situations in which security could become cracked
>setting up secure systems/stations
>tools used for security
>good practices to ensure security both online and off
>red team vs blue team??
>???
Security cracking discussion is also welcome (ie exploits in various softwares)
I am aware that security and anonymity are not the same, but they certainly do go hand in hand. Security in this sense is preventing unauthorized access to your device and preventing data exfil. This of course is crucial for anonymity as being insecure is a surefire way to become de-anonymized.
