Hi. I wanted to know if it’s needed to install a firewall on a linux desktop/laptop. Why yes or why no?

      Trust may be the worng word as Windows will be Windows but I know that no one is going to zero day my devices because I am not that high value of a target.

        That’s a bad mentally as well. Most stacks these days are about quantity not quality. If you blindly hit 10000 targets it’s more profitable than trying to spear a single one.

        Akin to not wearing a seatbelt because you are unlikely to be killed by a sniper
