Although I've been tokin' for as long as I can remember(which isn't usually too far back), I'm still a newb when it comes to growing, making hash, and all that good stuff. That being said, I figured I could help a few people in this area of the site, as this is one area that I'm not a newb. Outside of the firewalls and Anti-viruses that everyone should have on your computer, another good security feature to have handy is the proxy. This is what I call preventative defense. A firewall's great if someone is trying to infiltrate your computer, but if information can get out it can get in and so can an attacker. So in comes the proxy... If you can't find a computer, i…

Alot of the time, when I open a new page it comes back with the 'do you want to download from site' thing, or it gives me some computer code or some shit, I know nothing about computers, does this mean my proxy is dead? It seems to work again when Im not using a proxy. I know I'm stupid but this shit is pretty new to me, I used to just use the computer to check out the seedbanks till I found this sight. Anyhoo, also is there any kind of program that can hook me up to a new proxy without me doing it when the proxy dies, I know I don't know shit about computers, my knowledge is all marijuana based.

Gday out there, I'm releatively new to this board as I only got my pc a few weeks ago and my internet connection a few days ago! What I need is some kind of security software ( free or shareware if possible) to work on a p3 win 98 personal computer. I've never had to worry about this much before because I only used the internet outside of home. Now we're online, I need some personal data protection. Any suggestions? peace

Probably the most important defense mechanism on a computer is a very strong last line of defense, file encryption. Keep in mind encryption and encoding are not the same thing. Encoding merely uses a specific algorithm to switch the characters in your file around, meaning anyone that knows the algorithm can easily decode your file. Encryption uses an algorithm and keys. How it works in short is the encryption program asks you for a private key which you should apply the same rules as you do a password. It should be long (at least 12 characters, but should probably be around 20), and it should be straight off the top of your head using a good mixture of letters/numbe…
