Ubuntu Security :: IMDB Remembers Pages History - Cookies Disabled
May 29, 2011
IMDB gives me a "recently viewed" list of pages I viewed recently (and a few of them were months ago, since I don't go there too often) at the bottom of every page I view. My cookies are enabled for session-only, have adblock plus, my ip changes every day, how are they doing that? How can I prevent it? What other websites are using the same trick? At this page [URL] there's a link there that says "Clear entire history", but I want to disable them from being able to track me like that, if they can track me, so can others.

I used to use CCleaner so I could keep specific cookies from being deleted while I deleted all others. Is there any way I can do this with Ubuntu? Firefox doesn't seem to allow it other than manual deletion which is not as fast an automated as CCleaner made the task.

In windows, using firefox you can use backspace key to navigate back pages in history. Now in Debian - I try and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to change that?

I use different browsers for sites like facebook and general browsing (specifically rekonq for facebook, firefox for others).
However, I find that Flash cookies are shared between browsers, and are not cleared when clear my browser cookies.
Flash cookies are kept in ~/.macromedia, and it's OK for me to clear this periodically with a little cron job. However, I would really like separate places for flash cookies from rekonq and firefox.
Does anyone know how to do this? Maybe there is an environment variable which allows this?
My second implementation option would be to make a chrooted environment for each browser or something like that.

that's pretty much about it. I just can't open the IMDB web page. It never loads and the page is just blank.The firefox tab says: "loading" and later says "the connection was reset" blablabla. It is the only web page that I can't view so far.

What are all the ways you could think of that someone could view your browsing history, upstream from your machine? They don't have physical access, there's nothing on the computer itself and the person trying to hack has skill so I'm thinking like monitoring a proxy somehow, using the ip address somehow, compromising the modem in some way, possibly having access to google account etc. I am new to ubuntu and have really dug it so far but I want to figure how this is/was being done

I have a bluetooth track-pad that has worked for me on a number of computers. It works on my office computer, but annoyingly ubuntu refuses to remember the device pin ("0000"). I have removed and re-created the device and it always skips the screen where it asks if I would like to save the pin. This means that I have to have a mouse to get past GDM (well, not really, I can use the arrows) before I can pair with it.
I have tried reinstalling bluez and libbluetooth3, but that didn't help.

I installed an old laptop with Xubuntu and confirmed the wireless card was working by bringing up a couple of nearby networks owned by my neighbors.
However every time I book the computer, a popup login form comes up for them, which I don't want. How can I delete these from the 'cache'?

I come to Ubuntu with the notion that it is much more secure than Windows. In XP I had an anti-virus, third-party firewall and sundry softwares against spybots, rootkits etc. The anitivirus blocked the suspicious web pages while browsing. I generally avoided public networks, carrying a portable internet device Do I need similar stuff with Ubuntu.

I have been investigating some security precautions over the past several months. I use Ubuntu now instead of windows and FIrefox browser also. I have installed BetterPrivacy, WOT, NoSCript and a few other add ons. I have SELinux, ClamAV, AIDE, and chkrootkit installed for Ubuntu.
When we browse certain web sites, we get an error about the server being reset. However, when I put the Ubuntu install cd in and browse with Firefox, obviously with no add ons or settings changed, we can browse to the site with no problems. We are trying to be secure on the internet and I don't want to lower or get rid of any of the settings / add ons we added. What would cause servers to reset when using Firefox / Ubuntu with browser add ons / OS addons?

I run Linux Mint and keep 38,000 photos on an external usb hard drive. Problem is, neither Picasa 3 or DigiKam will "remember" the photos if I unplug the drive. When I run Picasa/DigiKam again, it reindexes all 38,000 pics, which of course takes forever.

There seems to be much disagreement between distros regarding how ipv6 is disabled, even between different versions of the same distro. Rather than just follow instructions for disabling ipv6 for a given distro, I would like to also test that ipv6 is not used any more. Any software or executable that relies on ipv6, that I can use to confirm that ipv6 has been successfully disabled?

I was thinking of physically removing the hard drive and use the computer only with a liveCD for security. But is disabling the hard drive in the cmos just as secure, or does software exist that can still access the hard drive?

I have a Cent OS 5.4 32 bit final installed in my dedicated server.
I used to run lighttpd with php in my server until now and all was fine.But yesterday I changed my website which needs apache to run. So installed apache using yum install httpd command.
Then I added the virtual host name of my domain in webmin panel but when i try to run my php script in browser then its not opening php pages.
Instead it downloads php files like index.php when i open in browser.So I guess apache is not able to compile and run php pages. Only html pages are opening right now..
