## Basic Level Security
* __Level 1__: Avoid using your real name online and avoid giving away any personal information. You can use [The Random Identity Generator](http://rig.sourceforge.net/) (rig) to generate an online persona and/or login sites using passwords from [BugMeNot](http://bugmenot.com).
* __Level 2__: Don't save your passwords on plaintext or in some "cloud" service like Lastpass and don't save logins on your phone or web browser. Create and remember one good main password (must have lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols, be longer than 8 characters and be change bimonthly), use KeePassX (and I mean the one with an X) and use the option to generate different passwords for each account you have and keep the password database on a USB. Other password manager is [kpcli](https://github.com/alecsammon/kpcli) which works on the command line and is just a perl script (this is the best option).
* __Level 3__: Choose IRC instead of non-publicly auditable chat networks. A good and easy IRC application is Hexchat, another is irssi. You can use [BitlBee](https://wiki.bitlbee.org/) to access other chat networks through an IRC client if you need.
* __Level 3__: Choose IRC instead of non-publicly auditable chat networks. A good and easy IRC application is Hexchat, other options are irssi and WeeChat. You can use [BitlBee](https://wiki.bitlbee.org/) to access other chat networks through an IRC client if you need.
* __Level 4__: Use [Searx](https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/wiki/Searx-instances) instead of Google when in need to search on the web. You can get search engine plugins for your browser [from here](https://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=searx)
* __Level 5__: Use [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/) or install [Pleroma](https://github.com/wimvanderbauwhede/limited-systems/wiki/Mastodon-and-Pleroma-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-3) (GNU Social) instead of non-publicly auditable social networks known to sell private information. As a Youtube alternative use [Peertube](https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances).
* __Level 6__ Use RSS for news and podcasts from sites you trust instead of Youtube (although Youtube has an RSS feed for their channels too, for now). Liferea is easy and a great application for RSS feeds, newsboat (newsbeuter) is a command line option.

* __Level 13__: Use Uncomplicated Firewall ("ufw") to block inbound AND outbound network traffic, permitting only what you need.
* __Level 14__: Use Firejail or Bubblewrap to sandbox your applications.
* __Level 15__: When possible give your applications a separate user account and use sudo, chroot, fakeroot, ulimit and quota with them.
* __Level 16__: Use [BIND9 with DNSCrypt](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/270716/configure-bind-as-forwarder-only-no-root-hints-encrypted-rpz-blacklist-wh/270796#270796) to prevent DNS Leaking with an [OpenNIC provider](https://servers.opennicproject.org/) known to not save logs.

* __Level 17__: Use YaCy with collaborative database disabled when in need to search on the web.
* __Level 18__: Use the Tor Browser to navigate the internet through Tor.
* __Level 19__: Encrypt your e-mails with GnuPG. Thunderbird has the Enigmail plugin for this, you can script the use of GPG on Mutt.
