Helpful episodes to listen to first Seven Critical Router Security Settings How DDoS Attacks Affect You Questions we answer in this episode What are the 5 questions in the Bulletproof Stack Formula? How do they help us? Episode summary There are 5 questions we can ask to help us build a Security Stack. These questions help to ensure that our Security Stack is relevant. This means there is a legitimate threat that I care about, and I'm willing and able to take the steps necessary to defend myself. The 5 questions can be remembered with 5 words: assets, threats, risks, options, tradeoffs. Assets: What am I protecting? Threats: What are the threats? Risks: What are the risks? Options: What are my options for defense? Tradeoffs: What tradeoffs am I willing to make? Call to action Help me build a system that is going to work for you. How do you feel about the 5 words I chose to represent each question: assets, threats, risks, options, tradeoffs. Are there any you would replace? Let me know on the forum .

You could prioritize by activity: something you spend a lot of time doing or that makes you nervous. You could prioritize by threat: a common threat like phishing, or a less common threat relevant to your situation. You could prioritize by value: maybe your highest priority is keeping your retirement fund safe. You could prioritize by speed: you want protection, but you are super busy and need to be able to do so quickly and efficiently.

What is whois data? How can it help me stay safe online? Episode summary A domain name is what we think of as a website - facebook.com or makanimason.com. In order to have your own domain, you need to pay some money and share some personal information with a domain name registrar. This information is then publicly available, unless you choose to make it private through your registrar. Unfortunately for some domains, like ones that end in .us - keeping this information private is prohibited. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this and registered a .us domain, sharing publicly my name, email address, and phone number. It was a great invitation for hackers and scammers to harass me.

What are two ways an outbound firewall protects you? What is an outbound firewall's greatest frustration and greatest strength? What is an allow list? Episode summary If you want to protect your computer, you need both an inbound and outbound firewall. Almost nobody uses an outbound firewall - despite it's awesomeness. The firewall limits the damage malware can do by blocking it from phoning home or spreading through your network. Sure, you'll need to pay attention when your firewall asks you questions. But that tiny hassle is worth the warm fuzzy you'll get knowing that only apps you trust can make outbound calls. Call to action Join the tiny but elite crowd of people using an outbound firewall.

Does everyone need to use it? What are the 3 categories of Internet of Things (IoT) devices? Episode summary A guest network is a second wifi network you can set up at home. It lets visitors use your internet without touching your main network. That means your personal devices are protected from any malware their devices might be carrying. If you often have people over, it’s a smart extra layer of protection. A guest network can also protect your devices against threats from your own devices if they get infected.

Why do I need more than one firewall? Which device already has a firewall enabled? What kinds of devices have an increased need for a firewall? Episode summary Firewalls in buildings stop fire from spreading. Firewalls on computers do something similar: they stop malware from spreading. Your router has a firewall that blocks threats from the internet before they reach your home network. But what if the malware is already inside your network? For that, you need a firewall on each of your computers. These are especially vital for laptops, which often connect to public wifi. And here’s the secret weapon almost nobody talks about: outbound firewalls. They’re a unique and powerful extra layer of protection - and wildly underrated.

Helpful episodes to listen to first Don't Answer the Phone Questions we answer in this episode What is a computer virus? How does a computer virus spread? How does patient (device) zero get infected? What protection do we NOT have against these attacks? Episode summary What happens if a device in your home gets infected with a computer virus? Just like a human virus, it wants to spread. But how does that first device get infected? There are plenty of ways, but one that is often underestimated is through Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Smart TVs, Alexa, and other "smart" appliances are prime targets for hackers. Ironically, some of the must vulnerable devices are the ones meant to protect you - like a home security system. And what's worse, your router probably won't stop the malware from spreading once it's inside your network. That's why need layered protection. In this series, we'll walk through at four them (maybe more). Call to action Make a list of all devices in your home that connect to the internet.

Reading the section in the router's manual should help. Yes, I realize many of us don't read manuals anymore, but that's what I suggest. You also need to know your router's admin username and password is. It's probably printed on the bottom of your router, but if not, here again, the manual is your friend.
