Hi,
Thanks for presenting tonight.

Had some thoughts on minor tweaks to the presentation.

Password Managers

https://qut-dmrc.github.io/encrypt_all_the_things/#/2/4

KeePassX is no longer developed.
Suggest KeePass for Windows, or KeePassXC instead.Is in active development, has Windows, Mac, and Linux support
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc

Caution against "cloud" based password mangers. 1Password, LastPass, etc
Online = attack surface.
Their commercial interest my at times be at odds with your security interest.
Password DB in file sync would be advised.

MFA

https://qut-dmrc.github.io/encrypt_all_the_things/#/2/9
Suggest including:
KeePass has OTP support via plugin
KeePassXC has OTP support naively

VPNs

https://qut-dmrc.github.io/encrypt_all_the_things/#/3/4
suggest including a link to this. Not just for what to choose from, but some of the factors at play.
https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-section/

Backups

https://qut-dmrc.github.io/encrypt_all_the_things/#/4/3
3 2 1 rule: 3 copies, 2 locations, 1 offline

Cloud storage

https://qut-dmrc.github.io/encrypt_all_the_things/#/4/1
Self hosted / peer-to-peer DropBox alternative.
https://syncthing.net

Addendum

probably worth a mention of installing an Ad Blocker in your browser
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

and Firefox Focus for mobiles

@Conan1989 Thanks! Agree with most of the suggested changes, and some of the tools might be a thing for the resources section. Will try to implement it before our next workshop in two weeks.

@brendam I've included three of the suggestions for now, keepassxc, thatoneprivacysite, and the 3,2,1 backup rule in PR #6.

Regarding the OTP plugins I'd say that I would rather recommend solutions that work on mobile devices.

The suggestion for cloud storage looks interesting, but pragmatically I think it's more realistic to get people to encrypt the files they have already stored in a cloud provider of their choice. Also we would have to test this tool for a while to be able to recommend it.

Browser plugins for privacy, especially also stuff like Cookie AutoDelete (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/) would be a whole new chapter. Important, but too big for now. Definitely next iteration.

Please append changes and merge into master and gh-pages or assign back to me to review.
