Do you guys know of any linux AV with real-time protection for consumers?
I don't get why there aren't any mainstream AV tools on Linux… Especially considering more average users are switching to linux these days…
I love how these a-holes act like they are doing you a service by extorting you. Sure, let me run right over to your website so you can infect my computer some more, and I get the pleasure of paying you for the wonderful experience!π

thanks for covering a proper OS like GNU Linux Ubuntu
Lmao there is a lot of ignorant users here who think theyβre so smart and above windows users. The main reason linux malware and x64 malware are rare because malware authors get the biggest bang for the buck by writing x86 windows malware. You guys arenβt smarter than malware authors. You donβt get infected because youβre not their target, not because youβre smart and you stick to the best practices.
I would expect the Security Channel to explain the difference between privillege escalation and a script that operates with regular user privilleges. When malware by the same name encrypts an entire computer under Windows vs the user's home folder under Linux, then claiming "there's no difference" is misleading and false. And the message "Linux gets malware too" even if well-intentioned, ends up being the good old FUD tactic of closed-source companies (a term coined when Microsoft's official strategy towards Linux was to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt). There's a good reason Linux dominated the server market and continues to do so.
People be like: Don't download external packages and you are fine. External packages in Linux might be hacked
Well no sh*t Sherlock! It's same for Windows as well, if you don't run random executables and stick with what you have in built-in system, you will be just fine, 99% of the time.
deez nut!
Ubuntu security is a complete joke. They do not care about it considering their decision to use flatpaks and the snap store which are man in the middle attack-able unlike APT and most importantly, they freely use SystemD which easily allows a process to elevate itself to the root level. Samba also makes Windows malware that would otherwise not work instead run flawlessly.
In defense of all distros of Linux, most Linux users is most users of Linux are more savvy and less likely to just run anything which helps quite a bit. The biggest issue with the propagation of most malware is the users.
With the Steam deck coming out and Linux possibly getting more use outside of servers I imagine you will see more targeting desktop Linux systems. Security from obscurity works but doesn't last forever
So there is ransomware for Linux. But how do you actually get it shouldn't you be able to get most of your stuff from a secured repository?
Waiting mac ransomware
man, all comment section is phd ppl
Now, your next step is to test this ransomware again on Linux, but on a ZFS system with the snapshots enabled and check the recovery!
Can you survive? How fast is the recovery?
Writing this comment from Ubuntu desktop. I switched to this OS because i thought i will not have to install antivirus every year and is secure to do stuff like online banking etc. But now i understand that linux desktop (ubuntu) is only secure because it is not targeted by most hackers. If compared to windows at-least it has antivirus from well known brands like kaspersky and bitdefender etc. Ubuntu desktop have nothing to protect from latest viruses if hackers decides to attack ubuntu. No zero day attack prevention and no behavioral detection etc. π
And ubuntu desktop is buggy also. Then there is no reason to switch to ubuntu from windows?
I thought linux was immune to hackers and ransomware? Where u linux sheep's at?
luckily I use a typewriter and morse code for my internet….
Linux Defense Force is in full swing. You sound like Mac users.
How do i protect my servers from ransomware
as a Linux user who dumped Windows years ago … I never say Linux CANT run different scripts or code that would harm the system … but why would I run some random code for no reason? …. I just dont get it … I still say do not UNDERestimate using common sense, security wise
Linux vs avast
Can you try same with ClamAV installed? Thanks
finally linux is getting ransomware support, but still not open source nvidia driver support.
of course it's on Ubuntu
Wait cant you just go to your encrypted files and enter its properties and set it back to its normal file name. It wouldn't hurt to try but if that worked. Ransomware would be gone already
why not add clam av to your list of tools, ahh…because its completely free to use…
Hi, where can I download this ransomware? Would like to try it out.
