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. - [1] -

- 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. - https://www.owasp.o../images/c/c8/OWASP_Security_Tapas_-_TrustZone%2C_TEE_and_Mobile_Security_final.pdf -

-

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. - (https://www.techpowerup.com/242386/cts-labs-responds-to-a-techpowerup-technical-questionnaire) -

Nvidia Graphics Card Drivers

UNFINISHED ARTICLE- UNDER CONSTRUCTION

- -

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 driver installation screenshot -

Nvidia drivers install telemetry services onto the host machine

-

- When the installation is finished, these services will show up (This is on Windows 7): -

- Nvidia spyware services -

- These can at least be disabled like so: -

- Nvidia spyware service disable -

Nvidia telemetry domains can also be blocked at the hosts file although the source is two years old: -

Pale Moon

-
-

Note: This article is outdated. Here is the updated version.

-
-

- 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: -

-

- 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.

    +
  • Correo electrónico
    • +
  • Nombre
    • +
  • Información de contacto
    • +
  • La información que envias cuando los contactas (mensaje y demás)
    • +
  • El tiempo que usas sus productos/servicios
    • +
  • Los datos que envias en encuestas
    • +
  • Dirección IP, geolocalización, sistema operativo, navegador
    • +
+

Razer tambien admite[1] [2] que vende los datos de los usuarios

+

También dice que los empleados pueden ver esos datos.

+

Razer te obliga a crear una cuenta para usar sus productos

+ +

¿Dónde está el botón para iniciar sesión en otro momento?

+

Sin una cuenta, no puedes configurar ni tu teclado ni tu ratón, no puedes cambiar el DPI del ratón (A no ser que haya un botón en el ratón para eso)

+

Basicamente, cada vez que abras el software para cambiar el color del ratón o lo que sea, Razer recibirá tus datos.

+

Estás obligado a conectarte a "la nube" para cargar configuraciones, esto quiere decir que las configuraciones de tu hardware están en el ordenador de otra persona, y saben quien las tiene (las configuraciones)

Spyware Level: Not Rated

-

-A lot of people asked me to write this article, so here is my attempt at writing it. Lots of people have lots of reasons to dislike systemd, and a lot of them wonder if -there is also a privacy reason to dislike systemd. But I have not ever heard of any kind of telemetry, phoning home, or any other kind of spyware in the systemd software -suite. systemd is free software so anyone can look at the code. And a lot of people have spent a lot of time cataloging why they don't like systemd. But if you read their -reasons, none of them mention any kind of spyware hiding inside of systemd's codebase that can be actually proven. So, I can't write that systemd is spyware until someone -can prove that it is spyware. If you have proof then feel free to email me and I will be happy to change this rating. -

-

-This line of reasoning for giving systemd a "Not Spyware" rating has some flaws, and the most obvious one is that it isn't reasonable to audit the 1 million lines of systemd -code for spyware. But this is still too generic of a criticism to make about it, because while in theory it is true, there needs to be real proof. Maybe the take-away is -that while there are many reasons to not like systemd, it's really probably not violating anyone's privacy, just because of how much scrutiny it has gotten. Maybe it should be -rated "Potential Spyware" or a lower, "Probably Not Spyware"? I think that the rating should be taken with a grain of salt because of this. -

-

-I have personally never used systemd and I don't have the skills to actually audit it or run tests on it myself. So this isn't a very good place to look when looking for reasons -to dislike systemd. At the very least, I can point to anti-systemd web pages that I am sure would be the first to report on systemd potentially violating the privacy of its users. -But I don't want to call them "sources" or anything because what they talk about is beyond the scope of this website. -

Tiktok

-

Work in progress

-

- Tiktok is a social media app allowing people to post short form videos, usually from a couple seconds - to up to 3 minutes long in length. -

-

- Like Discord, TikTok is spyware because all data goes through a central server, and multidues of data on you and your device are collected, sometimes even without your consent. -

-

- Tiktok collects mass amounts of data -

-

- Tiktok explicitly confirms in its privacy policy[1] - that it collects/can access the following information: -

-
    -
  • Age of user
    • -
  • ID cards (if submitted)
    • -
  • Device UUID
    • -
  • User's e-mail address
    • -
  • Content from your clipboard
    • -
  • All images and videos stored on your phone
    • - -
-

It also collects data from outside companies ("advertising partners") from third parties without your consent.

-

- Tiktok shares this data with companies in the business of spyware. -
