Re^5: Hiding your Script

If you succeed in securing your system, it might be worth for others to break into it to know what are your concealing. I personally, don't have anything to conceal. Like the biggest part of the people in this world. So, let the important people, care about those things. They are never going to impose such a way of living as they are promoting.

I really don't have anything to conceal either....BUT.....

Do you leave your house or apartment doors unlocked? Should the undercover police have the right just to walk into your house and look around?....after all....you have nothing to conceal.

The above comment ASSUMES an "honorable and honest undercover police force". But as we all know, the police and security forces are riddled with corruption. So you say it's okay for some network engineers to "get into your system" because "you have nothing to conceal"? Well what happens if they use that power to plant evidence in your computer, OR steal your credit card info, OR just crash your system because you said something "politically incorrect"? What if the "undercover police" who secretly enter your premises to "look around", are being paid to put a few drops of poison into your food, because you "bad-mouth" the local political boss?

You can't let them in, once you do, they WILL control you.

But that is a sign of emptiness. We can't oposse to a bigger force than ours.

The alternative is to take precautions before it is too late. A lot of people is joining forces to stop this insanity. If security becomes a profitable commercial issue. Then, only the powerful companies are going to be able to save us. Why do you think that Symantec sees profitable to buy Thaute?

In a possible future, it might be safer to put a special chip inside our brand new CPU that would decide what software is 'approved' and what is not going to work by any means. And guess what. Our most powerful company's president is going to decide when enough is enough. And we would rather forget trying to work as independent programers.

Then, the intruders might have won the final war.

You are right, I won't go to extremes! But I try to do my best without getting obsessed with security or any other actual insanity. I want to enjoy reading interesting emails and not seeking for viruses or spams. I am just trying to pretend to be normal!
