Be sure to not be running anything you are not supposed to:
Code:
netstat -tulpen
Also, check the permission of the files and stay up to date with important security patches.
Thanks for the link, some good info in there.

On my laptop, I'm behind a firewall most of the time, but it uses a VPN when it detects it's not connected to my home network. Each SSH key has a passphrase. Screen-timeout of 2 minutes, auto-shutdown of 30. Don't have a /home/ on my laptop, so I only encrypt /var/ and /etc/

I have all the well-known privacy extensions for Firefox as well.
I need to get a VPN, any you recommend?
