How You Can Protect Yourself On The Cyberspace #Infosec #CyberSpace #Internet

Cyberspace is a domain characterized by the use of electronics and the electromagnetic spectrum to store, modify and exchange data via networked systems for example the Internet

This is probably the most important part of the tutorial as this is where the most incidents occur due to infections or traps.

Infections or traps can range from:

-RATs (Remote Access Tool) which essentially give completely control of your computer.

-Keylogging which retains a log of all the keys you ever press on your keyboard.

-Phishing which retains a log when you manually input your information on a fake website emulating an original website.

-And more, but those above are the most common.
Around 90% of malware on the internet was coded to infect Windows Operating systems. I got that number from PC World about a year ago, forgive me if it's incorrect now. Anyway, assuming that you run on Windows you are the ones are the highest risk of getting targeted or infected.

You will want to always have your computer clean and secured having the proper tools. All these tools are the best of the best and are all free. They are probably better than paid security software.
How do I know this? Well, there are websites where you can scan malware after you crypt them (making them undetectable) to ensure that they are not detected by Anti-virus of any kind. Avira is the one that people always have a hard time bypassing, so I can safely say that it's the best from my personal experience of crypting and scanning.
 

Download and install all these tools below and I can assure you that your computer will be protected 1000% better than what it might be as of now. Get the free versions.

3.KeyScrambler Pro 2.7 - Follow the instructions on that link on how to get it for free. This software helps to encrypt everything you type on the internet.

4.If you use Firefox, get this: http://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
It encrypts all your website visits as https:// rather than http:// which makes you more secured as well.

5. FireShepherd,
A small console program that floods the nearby wireless network with packets designed to turn off FireSheep, effectively shutting down nearby FireSheep programs every 0.5 sec or so, making you and the people around you secure from most people using FireSheep. http://notendur.hi.is/~gas15/FireShepherd/
The program kills the current version of FireSheep running nearby, but the user is still in danger of all other session hijacking mechanisms. Do not do anything over a untrusted network that you cannot share with everyone.
-Know that this is only a temporary solution to the FireSheep problem, created to give people the chance to secure themselves and the others around them from the current threat, while the security vulnerabilities revealed by FireSheep are being fixed.
The other option is using a different operating system which has a lower percentage of being targeted. You don't have to spend tons of money on Apple computers, instead you can get a free operating system from the Linux distributions.
The easiest to use and most similar to Windows looks is Ubuntu. You can install Ubuntu as a normal program on Windows and once it restarts, it shows you the option to choose Ubuntu over Windows.
