Apple's routers are amongst the safest on the planet. Not that Apple had to do much with that, as they are developed by a third party. And some of the security is through obscurity. But they're also not Linux based and they don'r run a webserver... Otherwise, Ubiquity and MikroTik are pretty solid. On most other routers, I'd install some other software, like Tomato or DD-WRT as most manufacturers don't provide updated firmware, even when dangerous exploits are possible with their gear. Botnets running on routers are very popular lately.

Some elements in the home folder can be straight up copied to other media, but other files and folders either have permission or file in use issues when trying to just copy them elsewhere. Since that fiasco, I decided to just clone entire drives, uncompressed, and unaltered from the originals, so there is no chance of screwing anything up on the drives that are in use. Quote:

https://www.cvedetails.com/product/3...?vendor_id=899 And that's from 2015. Should be patched by now. The old ones had a backdoor, tho. Hope Cisco got wiser. Quote:
But the lesser CPU is compensated by the number of routers you can get infected in a day. And an attack launched from a router botnet is harder to counter, because of that number. You don't need much CPU to send malformed packets.

I can"t do that, as a lot of the systems I need generate webpages with svg graphs and pull in data from several sources. That's the main reason I need to keep browsers reasonably up-to-date. Quote:

Is there yet any other good option for a windows/linux-compatible partition with no filesize limitation? Last i looked in to e.g. ext4 drivers for windows and such it was not a practical/safe way to go...

I spose I could configure a browser to allow scripting only for those pages. But that would still break other things I need or like to use, like gmail fi. Quote:

FWIW, personally I run openssh on my lan, and use sshfs to mount things. I also run firewalls on all machines, and treat it like it was wide open to the net
The only open inbound port on the lan is for openvpn, so that when I use my laptop I'm on the lan too.

Would you run firewalls if you didn't have any open ports? Which firewall do you use, or are there even multiple choices in that department? There are two machines, and two hardware devices on my network the have web page configuration screens, but I have no ports open on my router, have UPnP disabled, no FTP/SSH or any other similar types of servers running.

Yes I would I don't control my router (a fritz!box), so I can't really trust it. I use iptables, but there are other firewall solutions around.
I might lose some performance by using ssh and sshfs but it works great, and even though I wouldn't expect to last 5 minutes against a state actor, I can hopefully hold my own against the net scum.

No, it's a router provided by the telcom. I suppose I could hack it, but it seems easier just to run a firewall on the systems.

They claim I'll get a big speed boost, but it's been working perfectly for 20 years and I'm getting 3625 KB/sec transfer, which is quick enough for me. |
