Was wanting to know some good things I should get for Ubuntu. Just recently switched from windows to Ubuntu so not exactly sure about anything really so any advice or information would be helpful. Thanks!
-
You need to be more specific.
This might give you some ideas:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications
Its an archlinux wiki , in linux land it does not really matter which distro.
-
An absolute must is VirtualBOX/VMWare with Windows loaded onto it for your amazing windows-specific programs.
Also WINE for smaller windows programs, and everything else exists in native linux code just in different programs.
-
All right to be more specific what are some good encryption programs and security measures/programs? Also what would just be something that any hacker should have like something for capturing data?

Look up truecrypt.
Learn IPtables.
Wireshark ?
-
Have wireshark and was trying to get truecrypt will learn about IPtables. Is there anywhere specific you would recommend learning IPtables?
-
man iptables
-
You can use a graphical frontend to make using iptables firewall a bit easier for you:
sudo apt-get install gufw
You may also find this guide (http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2014/04/24/10-or-20-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr/) useful.

Thank you d4rkcat I will look into it. Also the guide is helpful so again thank you.
-
With linux, you are going to read alot of guides and manuals. Make ready to hear RTFM alot of times.
-
some programms already listed but for your convenience
sudo apt-get install build-essential unity-tweak-tool subversion curl vim nmap filezilla screen ubuntu-restricted extras virtualbox wireshark git wine apache2 mysql-server php5

iptables set this way:
sudo iptables -P INPUT DROP
sudo iptables -P FORWARD DROP
sudo iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Mobile connection by internet Key
Nobody will reach your data.
If i am wrong proove it to me.
[Unless you go in Internet by clicking everything :) of course.]

Bumping an old thread will not bring you good bro. OP hasn't even been online for a week.

Am I to understand this as you saying that the above rules posted are enough to keep out attackers? Because, if that's the case, I promise you are wrong. Already you are allowing any incoming traffic from localhost by default. This is a pretty easily exploitable hole when spoofing is taken into consideration.
-
Regarding Ubuntu: It's shit. I hope I don't offend many people and I don't mean to start shit but, honestly, get a new OS that respects your privacy.
Regarding bumping old threads, aka gravedigging: As long as your posts are relevant or useful or both, it's okay. As long as it's not like a 4 month old thread and even then there are exceptions.

i know that a safe computer is a computer turned off. There' a little problem with this: a turned off computer is useless :D
There's a remote possibility someone can access my files, but it's very remote. For example my ip is not my real ip, try to nmap it, you are not nmap-ing me but my provider.

To me Ubuntu its' ok, dont worry you dont offend me in any way :)
I have only one doubt about it and my privacy, it's about mail: Thunderbird (i think this is Ubuntu mail service like win outlook), i am not sure where thunderbird connect and to who it could send information.

This is a link this thread needed a while ago.
https://evilzone.org/operating-system/an-informal-guide-to-linux-distributions-for-the-unwashed-hacker/
Hardening a system is another topic, which as also been discussed on EZ. This thread is old and nothing what OP wants that hasn't been stated before.
