    I would like to add upon what you said In the video, vulnerabilities still exist, this means exploiting the browser escaping the sandbox and escalating to the kernel is still possible, but the chromeos is more secure since it has way less attack surface than average os!
    Great video though, thanks!

      and Chrome has a loooot of zero days. Not like that really matters though, as chromebooks aren't very popular hacking targets

    tbh I like the chromebook but think google should do a better job of educating its users because non-tech savvy users might just assume they're free from any attacks such as malicious apps or extensions and will let their guard down

      Malicious extensions exist and can steal all logins, including bank accounts

    because of the sandbox features are chromebooks the most secure internet devices?
    if connected to an open network is it possible for somebody to script their way onto the device?
    if the chromebook is only used for web browsing, and is powerwashed and updated constantly how can the chromebook be hacked through open networks?

    I would like something like this, but without the Google ecosystem and with sandbox isolation and open source apps. it wouldn't be a silver bullet solution but it'd be cool

    The point about privacy isn't really specific to Google though and I don't see any more reason to trust Apple or Microsoft over them since they will have to abide by the same legal subpoenas and the OS is not open so you just have to take their word on whatever they claim

    • @noobnoob5072

      Just be careful what extensions and app. You install on your chrombook. And type your personal information. It's the same rule for phone. Other than that you can go full ballistic. Just remember to turn of your chrombook.

    So basically I can’t download any software from internet but only from the store?? Isn’t it limited in term of what I may need?

    • @collinsinfosec
      @collinsinfosec  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It absolutely is! It's good for people who want to browse the Internet.

      Linux apps can be run in a container.

      For the android virtual machine, yes. And only half are supported. Don’t expect this to last any longer due to the current antitrust crackdown going on with big tech.
