I believe you're missing the fact, that the OP uses a live-CD and USB-flash-memory. The only thing he has to care about then, is the hardware he's using [0]. By the way -- why Afghanistan, of all places? Regards, Anders Breindahl. [0] And the transport used, when he fetches the live-CD-images... And the way he accesses sites on the web... And the integrity of his home/workplace... And whether he leaves the live-CD when he goes to sleep... And whether the distributor of the live-CD-images has become corrupt... And whether the headers of the mail he sends are too revealing... And of course, the lone crackers...
