The Ultimate Online Privacy Test Resource List!

 

http://www.ghacks.net/2015/12/28/the-ultimate-online-privacy-test-resource-list/

 

While this one isn't Linux only, still it's users can benefit from the privacy tools offered. There are many on down the page, just follow whatever instruction is given to use. Linux security is just as important as for any OS, some of these tools can help to plug privacy leaks. :)

 

Enjoy! :thumbup2:

That is an excellent find, JohnC_21 :thumbup2:

 

For the viewers, I took a quick look at John's link.

 

Magazines are published in English as standard PDF or as EPUB for e-book readers, also a French edition with standard PDF.

 

Standard PDF is approximately 48 to 50 pages typically.

 

I might just download the whole lot and start reading, lol.

 

Thanks for sharing.

The humble bundle has a book bundle with a bunch of Unix goodies. The most you'd have to pay is $15 to get the complete bundle, but for those that want the books, I hope it helps ^-^.

 

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/unix-book-bundle

 

The bundle will no longer be available past December 6th!

Nice find! Plus part of your money goes to a foundation, so win win for everyone!

 

Sed and Awk are great tools! I suggest everyone get to know them. Used them a ton in my last job for all sorts of various scripts.

I really find this topic very interesting and benefited from it. Thus, I had to share with interested users what I also found interesting about the recent Linux threats and way out. Here is the link http://cyberhack.us/linux-android-malware-recent-threats/

Hopefully, someone will find it interesting too.

While not a eBook, rather a guide. here's precise instructions on how to setup dual boot Linux on separate SSD's (or HDD's) w/out affecting any other installed OS. :)

Learn Linux in 5 days Free......Expires 05/31/2018 or at the discretion of FOSS and/or author. 

 

Great read for all skills, especially newbies, can't miis out on this one! :)

 

https://courses.linuxtrainingacademy.com/itsfoss-ll5d/

 

Email required for download, no big deal, we all should have a spare one for free software & these offerings. The FOSS website is safe to use, may get an email 1-2 times per week, usually with a good free offering, often a free eBook or other resource, maybe a killer deal on VPN or other service, such as paid learning. Not what I'd call 'spam'. :)

 

Enjoy! :thumbsup:
