**Description**
Exposing what is being done can also be considered enhancing awareness to privacy and security. To achieve that, a suit of tools cshould be bundled in KDE for inspecting an application in a convenient and easy way (GUI). Adding a new button called inspector on all windows would be a great way to do itThis would encourage users to check what is being done on their system and with their data.
The way I see it**Ways to do it : **
- Adding a new button called inspector on all windows.
- It should provide information on a running task, the process list it is associated with, and possibly a log of what was done. Initially it would be about open/change of files/devices and internet connectivity monitoring. Things like reading keyboard input while not in focus should also be noted.
- **Ksysguard** should expose more about applications and provide some profiling and logging mechanism.
- Prepare GUI aspect of running applications in containers (like color scheme provided by QubesOS.)
- Inspect and configure/modify privilege of the container from KDE.
- Add a "**Security**" section in **System Settings**.
- Add "Audit my system" in "**Security**". It should provide a security score. Ex: Disk encryption, Firewall, VPN/Wireguard/Proxy, opened ports, locked screen saver (laptop vs workstation), it should provide information on a running task and possibly a log of what was done.lunch applications in containers, Initially it would be about open/change of files/devices and internet connectivity monitoringmost used applications adhere to **KDE privacy statement** or have a similar statement ...
- he score should be valid for the current year as the scoring values should be updated yearly (elements and values) and be inspired by security audit tools already available.
I would also like to see **Ksysguard** expose more about applications and provide some profiling and logging mechanism**What it will take :**
- Update **Ksysguard**
- Add a "**Security**" section in **System Settings**.
- Create **Inspector** application. It could even be used to make certain applications run in a container so that when it's evoked from the menu, it will launch in a privacy container. This application has a great name but doesn't provide what's expected. It would be great to have per application granularity control on firewall and disk access.**Kde security inspector**.
Use already available libraries :
- lsof
- sockets
- ...
How we know we succeeded
When users work on improving their system security score and asking more questions about transparency of personal data usage.

Also there is no "**Security**" section in **System Settings**. This should be added quickly. A "Audit my system" should be there to check elements in place and give a security score. Ex: Disk encryption, Firewall, VPN/Wireguard/Proxy, opened ports, locked screen saver (laptop vs workstation), lunch applications in containers, most used applications adhere to **KDE privacy statement** or have a similar statement ... This would encourage users to check if they did all they can to secure their system and data. The score should be valid for the current year as the scoring values should be updated yearly (elements and values). I am willing to put work into this
