"dangers" Of Insecure Surfing On A Local Network.

I am wondering how insecure/porn surfing will affect others on a shared wireless home network.
How probable is it to catch malware that spreads through the network, also hacker attack.

If you have an computer with both Linux and Windows, if you use the Linux for more insecure things, will the Windows partition probably stay without "contamination"?

Thanks.

 

I can use many of the linux 'variants' to view and modify any hdd, partition or external drive hooked to my system. Note I said 'modify'. If I can do it, I'm sure a malware or virus or crypto author could do it easily.
The authors are now known to check and defeat sand-boxing and virtual machines also.

As for porn, it is the same as any other internet use. If the site is hacked, you'll be attacked!

I have been hit while looking for Disney photos to use as a desktop background.
I have been hit while looking for a not-so-common book from way back.

Know your system, it's normal running programs, process and services. Know how to check these and be able to delete things that are not normal.

If someone is using porn, they should use it only on their device at their expense and not subject others, and possibly minors, to the chance of being exposed to the content.

If it's you, use a different device/ connection. If it's someone else, tell them the same thing.

 

Thanks. That means, to be more secure, use one device for insecure stuff.
Then for insecure network traffic, use my job phone, set it up myself, as a internet hotspot, bad idea?
I have the ISP provider modem/router as the first device and separated one wireless router for renters (Guest/isolated-network) and then one for myself. That probably helps, but not enough i guess.

When scanning for devices from fing app on my network i only get my own devices and services on my IP-adress i find 53 domain and 80http, might be synology Nas, or this is normal probably, does not mean the ports are open?. How about VPN, how much does that help securing the network? Port scanning result from http://www.whatsmyip.org showed timed out.

With W10 i have little control, there is so many processes, before with XP, i did have some control. Now when i look at CPU/memory/network usage, some of the built in processes from microsoft does not show up? The usage of the processes does not add ut to the percentage for example total CPU usage.
