I know there are plenty of software missing from here. This is just a fun infographic I made, no need to take it seriously :)

Pretty sure banks have a pretty good track record of “keeping your money safe”. Why the fuck would anybody trust banks to keep their money safe I’d they can’t keep your money safe?
I don’t really understand why that statement is even on there?
Unless you mean to argue some anonimity point, which I could agree with considering e.g. Monero would be more anonymous than a bank.
But safe? I’d say the bank is quite safe to store money.
Money in the bank can be seized and frozen for all sorts of reasons. If you’re in the USA, then police can charge your money with a crime even if you haven’t broken any laws. It’s safe until it’s not.
Doesn’t have to be in the bank either; if you’re traveling with your life savings in cash, then if you get pulled over cops are likely to seize that money. Just because fuck you, that’s why.
I’ll go further than this and say that true security is where everybody has support enough to not want to steal your shit, hack you etc.
Yeah corporations and governments are still a problem, for now, but both of the above parties would be far more secure if they did mutual aid, supported progrms to help the impoverished etc etc.
Basically having a collective approach to security and not such a myopic individualistic one.
crypto currency
Well, unlike Bitcoin, Monero is actually anonymous, and sometimes you gotta make payments online.
You can’t do it privately with your card.
Yep, anonymous right up until its use burns the world to the ground.
Bitcoin’s Lightning Network has onion routing for privacy, like Tor.
When Bitcoin had a bug that allowed some guy to give himself a bazillion bitcoin, it was detected and patched before he was able to sell them. When Monero encounters a similar bug, it will only be detectable by the price going down.
Security isn’t the size of the app, it’s how you use it :)
where’s the shovel and double-ziplocs to bury your cash, silver, gold, platinum, and palladium? or the zippo to burn your prints off? get on my level, ho
You may be interested in this infographic instead ;)
But you do know that Tor/VPN is not really privacy, nor security? It hides your IP, but that’s about it. If you still login, and give any information, and that could just be your “fingerprint” you are not anonymous…
VPNs know who you are and what websites you visit, so no privacy nor anonymity there. With Tor… It’s complicated. That’s why we have guides like this: http://blog.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion/opsec.
Lol proton vpn
Still secure
VPN services aren’t for security they’re for getting around regional blocks. If you want privacy build your own. But even then youll still be tracked
It’s not about what you use, but how you use it. PEBCAK Almost 100% privacy and security is offline at home, reading a book, if you bought the book with cash and not online and/or with credit card.
math is always stronger than marketing
Well, usually not. Unfortunately.
I have this bad gut feeling about Signal and Proton, I have no evidence tho.
Maybe it’s because the current administration uses signal to plan acts of war and proton’s ceo is supportive of said administration.
They don’t use Signal though. They use a clone called TeleMessage Signal which logs and archives all their messages on an Israeli server, and which a hacker was able to access before the service was suspended.
You can’t really help if someone forks and misuses software.
Ah, I believe this is what’s called “a conspiracy theory” if you had more details.
For Proton it is the “tech bro”-y feeling and for Signal it is wondering about financing.
OP would not recognize a threat model if it bit him in the ass.
what’s Anubis?
A tool to slow down web crawlers (instead of making you solve captcha puzzles)
Anubis is so lightweight you’ll forget it’s there until you look at your hosting bill.
I don’t know if they realize this is implying it’s onerously expensive, lol.
What’s with the diss on Malwarebytes?
Mainly because it’s proprietary, privacy invasive by nature, and invasive on computers.
It’s also a shit product riding on marketing laurels from its past glory days, like Norton. It leaves pieces behind that can cause malware to come roaring back.
It isn’t hard to just nuke a system or restore a backup people.
Proprietary sure, but how is it privacy invasive let alone invasive on computers?
What non-proprietary option is there? I can’t think of a single antivirus option which is actually remotely decent which is open.
ClamAV is an open source antivirus, but I would recommend against using an antivirus altogether due to their invasive nature. You shouldn’t need one with proper sandboxing and isolation.
I don’t undurstand how Graphene can bigger than Linux on this list.
The size on the list does not matter. I resized them so they could fit better on the page.
Yes but you could have used only graphene logo, it’s too big
iOS is actually secure
Cool and who validates the code base for security vulnerability? And sends tons of packets related to tracking back to there servers?
the codebase itself? besides XNU, nobody… but, given the immense amount of scrutiny placed on the software, if there was some magic backdoor (an intentional one, anyway, not talking about like NSO group RCEs 'n shit), don’t you think we’d know?
the average person doesn’t even know what grapheneos is. if they’re either going to buy an iphone, or some generic android phone running a vendor kernel that hasn’t been patched this administration, i’d want them to buy the iphone.
