Secure script execution

privacy.sexy provides secure script execution and storage via:

Antivirus scans

Before executing any script, the desktop application stores a copy to allow antivirus software to perform scans. This step allows confirming that the scripts are secure and safe to use.

Tamper protection

The application incorporates integrity checks for tamper protection. If the script file differs from the user's selected script, the application will not execute or save the script, ensuring the processing of authentic scripts. This safeguards against any unwanted modifications.

Clean-up

Recognizing that some users prefer not to keep these scripts, privacy.sexy provides specialized scripts for deletion of them. This allows users to maintain their privacy by removing traces of their usage patterns or script preferences.

Secure updates

Every desktop update undergoes a thorough verification process. Updates are cryptographically signed to ensure authenticity and integrity, preventing tampered versions from reaching your device. Version checks are conducted to prevent downgrade attacks.

Least privilege

The application operates without persistent administrator/sudo/root privileges, requesting elevated permissions only when necessary for script execution. This isolation of privileged operations to the script process enhances security by minimizing the attack surface and following the principle of least privilege.

Host system access control

The desktop application segregates and isolates code sections based on their access levels through sandboxing. This provides a critical defense mechanism and prevents attackers from introducing harmful code into the app through injection attacks.
