AMD CPU Family
-
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is an American multinational
- semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California, that develops
- computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer
- markets. This article is specifically about the CPUs that are
- produced by AMD and nothing else. The logo is one of many logos used
- by AMD, but the article is not about any one specific CPU.
- No rating is given because this is not an article about any
- specific product, and the rating system is difficult to fit into this
- article.
-
-
-
- Modern CPU models produced by AMD contain an embedded ARM co-processor
- called the Platform Security Processor (PSP). Nearly all AMD CPUs
- produced since 2013 operate under the supervision of this separate,
- more privileged, environment consisting of an integrated ARM processor
- with access to isolated resources as well as main system memory and
- I/O.

-
- This article isn't complete. This is a work-in-progress and so this
- article is not formatted properly...
-
- While ARM and AMD tout the “Trusted Execution Environment” as useful
- for secure payment, anti-theft and malware protection, they also
- discuss content protection or DRM as a use case.

Possible uses … DRM
-
- Researchers have already been able to identify exploits in AMD’s
- Platform Security Processor. In 2018 researchers published a
- vulnerability in which a specially crafted certificate could lead to a
- stack overflow in the PSP’s TPM firmware allowing for remote code
- execution. (https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2018/Jan/12) Another
- group goes on to detail how an attacker might leverage exploits
- RYZENFALL or FALLOUT to gain foothold in networks with Ryzen based
- systems.

Spyware Level: Not Rated

Spyware Feature X
-
-This program has spyware feature X in it. There should be some kind of proof here. If it doesn't contain original research, the source

This article is about the graphics card driver software used for modern Nvidia graphics cards. It is not about any one specific driver.
-
-
Spyware Level: Not Rated
-
-
- Nvidia produces graphics cards, and of course to use this hardware you need to install their drivers. Unfortunately Nvidia's drivers are riddled with
- spyware and the installation process is a minefield of serious privacy pitfalls, with options selected by default that have serious privacy
- implications they have if actually enabled. It isn't possible to install any of their drivers without bundled spyware being installed onto your computer,
- which needs to be cleaned up after the installation.
-
-
Nvidia's installer is bundled with other spyware programs
-
- When attempting to install an Nvidia graphics card driver you will be shown an option to install the spyware program GeForce Experience onto your computer.
- This program is malware that is also developed by Nvidia as well, and has a huge range of serious privacy issues, including scanning and uploading information
- about the files onto your computer to Nvidia. (An article about GeForce Experience is planned)
-
-
-
Nvidia drivers install telemetry services onto the host machine
-
- When the installation is finished, these services will show up (This is on Windows 7):
-
-
-
- These can at least be disabled like so:
-
-
-
Nvidia telemetry domains can also be blocked at the hosts file although the source is two years old:

- Pale Moon is a fork of an old Firefox version, before the user interface change that put off many people. But is it a worthy alternative to FF in terms of privacy? Versions 27.7.2 and 28.1.0 were both tested for this article.
-
-
-
Spyware Level: Medium
-
After following the mitigation guide, this software is Not Spyware.
-
-
- Connects to a MASSIVE amount of trackers, and these requests can only be avoided on subsequent runs. Has geolocation, search suggestions, and auto-updates. Sends SSL certificates from the sites you visit. Together made 169 unsolicited requests upon my first run of it, but again, most of them can be avoided on subsequent runs. Pale Moon, in the end, has less privacy issues than Firefox, aside from its terrible start page, so the rating is Medium.
-
-
First run
-
- If this is your first run of Pale Moon, it will automatically connect to its first run webpage (http://palemoon.org/firstrun.html), which in turn will make a bunch of requests for location-aware Google Ads.
-
-
Pale Moon's start page
-
- By default, Pale Moon's start page is set to https://palemoon.start.me, and it will automatically make a connection to it upon its first run. That page will then (again) make a bunch of requests for various trackers — here is a list:
-
-
Google Ads (location-aware)
-
Facebook (so if you're logged in, they know who you are)
-
Quantserve ("Quantcast is an American technology company, founded in 2006, that specializes in audience measurement and real-time advertising.")
-
Amazon Ads
-
Criteo ("Criteo is a personalized retargeting company that works with Internet retailers to serve personalized online display advertisements to consumers who have previously visited the advertiser's website.")
-
Scorecardresearch ("ScorecardResearch conducts research by collecting Internet web browsing data and then uses that data to help show how people use the Internet")
-
HubSpot ("HubSpot is an inbound marketing and sales platform that helps companies attract visitors, convert leads, and close customers.")
-
Alexa Metrics
-
Twitter Ads and Analytics
-
A few others
-
-
- All these requests contain the Pale Moon start page referrer, so they know where you came from. They also all set uniquely identifying cookies, so if you come across another website with these trackers included, they will know you're the person from the Pale Moon's start page, and could start building a profile from your browsing habits. You can easily delete the cookies and change the start page so that it never appears again, but there is no way to avoid the requests being made upon Pale Moon's first run.

-
Blocking privacy-enhancing addons
-
-Pale Moon blocks privacy enhancing addons like NoScript, citing this rationale for
-blocking such an imporant addon: "NoScript is known to cause severe issues with a large (and growing) number of websites. Unless finely tuned for every website visited,
-NoScript will cause display issues and functional issues. "[1] So, it looks like Pale Moon's developers are actively working against the interests of its
-privacy-concerned users, and would rather allow websites to execute malicious ECMAScript programs on unsuspecting user's machines, than to be blamed for a broken website.
-To disable this blocklist, set extensions.blocklist.enabled to false in about:config.
-
-
Auto-updates
-
- Pale Moon will automatically update itself, addons and search engines, as well as its blocklist.xml file with the addons it considers "malicious". Some of these can be turned off from the GUI, and some only from about:config.
-
-
-
Search Suggestions
-
The default search engine is the privacy-respecting DuckDuckGo, however search suggestions are enabled by default, which could send a request for every letter you've typed, all while you think it stays in-browser until you press Enter. Can be turned off by right-clicking the search bar.
-
-
-
Geolocation
-
Pale Moon connects to Mozilla's geolocation services.
-
-
OCSP querying
-
Will automatically check every site's SSL certificate to see if it is valid, which necessitates sending it to a third party. Can be turned off from the GUI.
