Thread: How to surf securely ?

Huge issue, not to be solved in a few lines for sure.



But I just found a tool which could interest those who are security concerned.

What you have to do is to configure your browser's http proxy setting with

Code:

www.spybye.org :8080

then go to

Code:

http://spybye.org

and write the url of the site you want to visit.

You can test this tool e.g. on one of the Google's Top Ten Malware Sites:

Interpreting SpyBye Output

SpyBye classifies URLs into three categories:


* harmless: A URL that originates from your web site or is matched by a pattern in the good patterns file.

* unknown: A URL that did not originate with your web site. This is likely to be 3rd party provide content and could be dangerous. If you see an unknown URL that you do not recognize, something might be wrong with your web site.

* dangerous: A URL with a high likelihood of being dangerous. This is usually an indication that your web site has been compromised. You should check if all your web applications have the latest security patches installed, you might also have to reinstall your web server. Attackers usually leave backdoors that give them remote access to your site, even after you have removed potential exploits from your web pages.

Thanks a Lot!
Thats a new thing you shared with us Ra.1 :). Using sandboxie is also an effective way to surf securely without viruses although it does not hide your IP Addres. A combination of two would be really good. :)

or just use noscript =D

Buddy,

NoScript does not make you 100% safe. I mean the sites you visit can still note down your IP address, it just blocks the scripts and saves you from IP from IPStealing Scripts. However its a good precaution in risky places but not ultimate. :P

PS: I dont think we can ever have Ultimate :P
