Just curious from Linux users, what if any protection software do you run? (Like McAfee, Norton type)

@Wetrix
Sudo lol.

Seriously, I don't run anything specialized, a firewall (ufw) and nothing gets elevated privileges unless I know how and why. I think a big part of the security in Linux is that windows is the big target, but I think user and privilege management don't get enough credit. It is really hard to get privileged access on a Linux box. Plus I think in general Linux users are more prone to maintain their system so it isn't as easy to get past them.

@mister_monster this is true. Even on a windows OS 99% of it's just common sense. πŸ˜„
