hey selsta quick question for you again
-
moneroextremist[
As someone who holds xmr on the GUI with no hardware wallet, I have to be extremely careful of what I download on my Mac. When trying to download LibreWolf it says macOS can't verify that LibreWolf is free from malware. Do you use LibreWolf ? Would you recommend it ?

<moneroextremist[> "As someone who holds xmr on..." <- Not possible. If you want to be safe, move your coins to a new wallet
-
moneroextremist[
<binarybaron[m]> "Not possible. If you want to..." <- binarybaron: Wym not possible ? Surely there's a way to make sure everything on my mac is fine. Either way, waiting on selsta to answer because I'm getting extremely paranoid all of a sudden
-
moneroextremist[
If a RAT or a keylogger that's looking for keys was running on my mac, surely I would be able to see it on the activity monitor ?
-
moneroextremist[
I guess my question to selsta is, should I trust LibreWolf browser ? Like is it a trustworthy browser ? I'm just extremely paranoid these days so I'm asking you. luigi1111w please weigh in too.

* these days that a program will try to steal my Monero GUI keys, so I'm

"One mistake, and I could lose everything I own." buy a hardware wallet, you'll sleep better

or use 'tails + persistant storage' method

<moneroextremist[> "I guess my question to selsta is..." <- one layer of defense is to run monero gui in a docker container
-
xmr-ack[m]
<moneroextremist[> "I guess my question to selsta is..." <- Or keep it in a veracrypt container
-
moneroextremist[
<xmr-ack[m]> "Or keep it in a veracrypt..." <- God damn, this is actually pretty smart
-
moneroextremist[
Either way, still waiting on a response from selsta on this.

selsta
Most open source software says "can't be verified" on macOS
-
selsta
Apple wants you to pay for a dev certificate
-
selsta
I don't know what LibreWolf is, but if it's well known open source software you will likely be on the safe side, just don't download programs from shady websites.
-
selsta
Don't install browser plugins.
-
moneroextremist[
selsta: Yeah it's open source. Anyway i can check on macOS that everything is fine though ? What's the worst thing that could happen by installing a malicious .dmg file ? Could they keylog the password I type on the Monero GUI and then download my keys and withdraw funds?
-
moneroextremist[
If I had downloaded a keylogger capable of stealing the GUI keys would it be visible on activity monitor
-
selsta
No, if you open a malicious program they could do a lot of things, don't be sure that you would see a keylogger in your activity monitor.

Your use case doesnt add up.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
You need to be extremely careful but use a bunch of proprietary software on your Mac and install binaries that you dont know anything about. Asking "is librewolf safe" after running the binary.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Doesn't add up - like.. do you also use stock android / ios and think they are secure?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
If you trust firefox.. librewolf is just a privacy enhancing version of Firefox, similar to mull or tor browser.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Plenty of reviews and comparisons online.. but if youre talking about "need" security, why would you even run this wallet on the same device that you install unknown apps on 🤒
