Botnets

Obviously uninstall Windows and any proprietary software on your computer.

Shouldn't be too tough to watch traffic for control commands and shit. Of course if you don't block javascript you could have cached browser-based botnets for every page you visit and that would be harder to single out.

This is what a botnet actually is.

How the fuck are Windows 10 and Chrome botnets? They don't seem related at all.

Are you literally retarded?

>>56912918
but how come so many people are part of one?
Most of the big DDoS attacks we hear about on the news are made through botnets, right?

>>56912923
I'm serious though.
How the hell are you going to know what your computer is doing if you can't see the code.
If you want to be the one that controls your computer, you need to be in control of the software, not have the software control you.

>How can you make sure you're not part of one?
dont use the internet of shit (things)

>>56912947
that's a real botnet, we only talk about meme botnets on /g/

There gotta be laws against this.
This idea that all proprietary software is a potential botnet is insane. It's gotta be.

Can you prove that they are not botnets?

>>56912973
No, I can't. But there gotta be laws to counter act this.

Open-source software
Open-source hardware
Open-source network

Unless you are big time DIY, I doubt you have the second. As you are posting on 4chan, you certainly don't have the third. You were on the botnet before you were even born.

>Open-source hardware
what the fuck is that suppose to mean? arduino?

I'm part of one, my own botnet.

>>56912918
>Intel Management Engine

>>56912947
Unpatched software, grandma clicking random EXEs on the internet. Or you know any of the 50+ executable filetypes on windows.

>>56913567
Yeah and if you see traffic coming at you from intel.com you get suspicious amirite.
