Gnoppix Secure Internet

Ransomware has long become a business model. Every day, thousands of phishing emails flood the mailboxes of employees. They are hardly distinguishable from real emails. A click on the attached link or attachment and the malware has free access to the entire network. With many attack methods, the user does not even have to actively click anything to infect himself with malicious code.

To gain access to a computer, hackers therefore only need you to surf the Internet. The malicious software is already executed when the web page is loaded without the user having to click on links or open files. Active contents such as JavaScript, Java or Flash make it possible. These programming interfaces allow hackers to access the PC and control its user environment without the user’s intervention. Traditional security mechanisms such as antivirus software or firewalls are ineffective here. New threats require modern, progressive solutions. Therefore, virtualizing the browser is very effective.

In Gnoppix forensic mode both the host operating system of the client and the intranet are worked independently. In this way, the operating system and browser never have direct access to the hardware, but only to the virtual environment. Intruding viruses, Trojans remain trapped in this environment and cannot spread on the computer and in the local network. In addition, you should also take other protective measures, such as a highly secure VPN connection, which we have already installed in Gnoppix.
