security

Hi guys,

I would like to know how you handle security on your desktops, beside the recommendations mentioned on arch hardening site?

I am particularly interested in  scanners like rkhunter and alike.

Recently i have installed Aide,before that I installed rkhunter but it does not recieve any updates.

What scanners do you use?

Thanks

Tom

For me, nmap , wireshark are good tools to learn.

clamav would definitely be worth a look, it's in the Artix repos along with service packages for the various inits. It's quite a comprehensive, effective and well maintained anti-virus scanner. Virus's aren't really a problem on Linux for typical home users, but for some use cases you might want to be ultra cautious.
A good ad-blocker like ublock-origin might help filter out some online malware / scareware too, which you can come across even when using Linux.
