More Linux Defenses
Clears cache and deletes temporary files very effectively. This frees up disk space, improves performance, but most importantly helps to protect privacy.
Locally checks for signs of a rootkit.
ClamTk is basically a graphical front-end for ClamAV, making it an easy to use, light-weight, on-demand virus scanner for Linux systems.
Firejail is a SUID sandbox program that reduces the risk of security breaches by restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf. Written in C, virtually no dependencies, runs on any modern Linux system, with no daemon running in the background, no complicated configuration, and it's super lightweight and super secure, since all actions are implemented by the kernel. It includes security profiles for over 800 common Linux applications. FireJail is recommended for running any app that may potential pose some kind of risk, such as torrenting through Transmission, browsing the web, opening downloaded attachments.
Open source intrusion prevention system capable of real-time traffic analysis and packet logging.
Open-source, host-local Linux security orchestrator combining nftables enforcement, system telemetry, threat-intelligence feeds, out-of-band WAAP log analysis and a terminal dashboard. It requires Linux administration and is not an inline proxy.
