More security tips:
1. Unplug your Ethernet cable.
2. Remove your Wifi adapter.
3. Squirt glue into all your USB ports.
4. Wear surgical gloves and a mask.

Port scan over the internet is not going to reveal much if you are behind NAT. You want to be running a scan on your local network, which matters in case there is another compromised device on your network by any chance, or if someone connecting to your wifi has a compromised device

A chain is as strong as it's weakest link. Being human I know that I am prone to making mistakes. I will not therefore keep all of my eggs in one basket. A great example of this is not creating backups of important files. You never know when you will fall victim to ransomware... and that is ok. It can happen to the very best. As long as you are doing your best within reason (not trying to go to unnecessary extremes) you will have your "conscience clear"

The most secure system is the one not connected to the internet

Intel Management Engine is an NSA backdoor.

Intel Management Engine has to be disabled for system to be considered secure. Intel doesn't provide any easy to use method to disable it, you have to connect programmer to your motherboard, read BIOS chip contents, run me-cleaner script and write it back to BIOS chip. Otherwise when you have such low level backdoor all other higher level security measures are pointless. IME was in past exploited by hackers, and Intel still doesn't provide a way to disable it by average user.

Thank you for the education. I knew some of this but no where near enough to feel confident about online security.
We all get scared by the stuff people say about security and identity theft, which is real as I can attest to. However we very rarely get solid info about how to stop it by setting up a system in the first place. Most people just use Windows Defender and a password they repeat for everything, with perhaps a slight change by adding a number at the end. That we get bombarded without any help to understand, it's easy to see why most people just switch off and ignore it.

I would like to see your video about Safing’s Portmaster.

I am already using it over simplewall. I really liked it.

If you make video on it, other people will also come to know about that amazing software.

When I was working on establishing security in a bank system we saw there were 3 levels of security. Security level C gave you security but it could possibly be easy to breach. Security level B was more secure but required so much it slowed down the job. Security level A was the most secure (though I believe they also added minor additions/subtractions so you had A- A A+) that really you cannot do anything in the system because of the security.

I've been studying infosec for the last year, and to date this is the best video I've seen on general cyber security for the average person. Nicely done Chris!

Chris, my migration from Roboform to Bitwarden was painless. Bite the bullet 🙂
Thanks for all your thorough analysis!

14:15 it is about privacy and security, because there is still games that leak your IP, like GTA V, and make you vulnerable to attacks as has been the case with GTA V, and some ISPs don't cycle your "dynamic" IP address either.

You should make a video on how to update Intels Management Engine. I've been looking for a guide or a video and anyone I see says to go to your PC manufacturer's website but mine is custom built. Would be really useful to show how to do it using the official tools and that Mesh Central thing.
