How do you secure your home network/pc? (programming.dev)
 

So I'm a baby dev, still in Uni and they don't allow internships in 4th year due to some issues with it so not even that exp wise.

I don't know enough, and I'm trying to learn but there's so much! My Uni degree doesn't cover security at all. Which is shit, bc I think I want to work in that? Mostly I'm just spooked and want to understand everything I can 'cause I love the internet and want to feel safer wandering about it.

I'm scared of clicking on links. Even ones here, like there was a post about a book list earlier and I was just there like "Cmoon.... someone please have posted the lissssst."

Would anyone be willing to share what they do for their own security? Especially if it's ridiculously over the top. Included reasonings and details would be adored!

Also, if anyone has any books or references that might be good for learning sec from a programmatic view rather than a IT view I'd really love that! Anything at all.

Regardless, hope anyone reading this has an absolutely wonderful day and best of luck with everything you're up to!

Fucking love your example dude.

I've found ChatGPT3 OK for low level stuff, but I stopped using it pretty quickly once I went to trying to get it to help build intermediate stuff.

If its making errors in simple script design, it can't handle more.

It is fab for the basics, but I wouldn't truste it for learning anything else more complex for exactly the reasons you said.

Be liable to write my own backdoors that way hahah

Anyone know a good guide on how to read Malwarebytes logs or... something? (programming.dev)
 

Know this isn't technically Dev, sorry in advance.

I keep getting outbound malware alerts when I browse global. Today it's lemmy.today, last week it was another instance etc.

I'm interested in learning more about sec, and while I've looked at the JSON logs and tried googling "What does threat id -1 mean" etc., I can't seem to find anything.

I'm kind of just curious about what, specifically, the threat was and what it was trying to do - but the logs seem pretty blank. As mentioned above, the id is -1 and the name is blank.

Anyone know a good guide, or something, to read up or... better questions to ask?

Thank you for your time and hav a wonderful day. :)

It's not great in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

I post my code to GitHub so when I'm eventually good enough to get a job I can pretend I'm hardworking by having lots of commits in private repos.

git commit -m "Added a new string to X class."
