I have to sometimes work on linux computers in my college lab, and I am not the administrator there. So what steps would you recommend to protect my privacy/security on these computers? (I am mainly concerned with access to external services like email etc.)
The steps I currently take are :
- Using a master password on my firefox profile.
- Using HTTPS logins for services when available.
EDIT : I am assuming that my system administrator is not out to get me, but may perhaps one day in an irritated mood change my email password or something. I would also like to know how secure using a master password in firefox is. (I suspect it won't protect my browser history).
Take a look at encfs, I updated my answer. – haridsv – 2011-04-15T18:51:34.810
