![]() ![]() HTTPS Everywhere, an extension that forces your browser to access the most popular and popular websites only in https mode.I2P, a decentralized and dynamic network allowing to surf and communicate in a secure way and in complete anonymity.Tor to surf the Internet without leaving any traces, as well as its Torbutton to protect itself from malicious JavaScript codes.La linux distribution Tails contains all the tools you need to be completely anonymous and to protect your privacy on the Internet. And it also contains state-of-the-art cryptography tools to encrypt files, emails, and instant messaging. All outgoing connections to the internet are required to go through the Tor network it does not leave traces on the computer used. You can’t make all of the people happy all of the time.What I like about the Tails distribution is that it allows you to use the internet anonymously with any computer. The thing is, if I implement feature request “install xyz by default”, I am getting another feature request “install less packages by default to make Whonix smaller”. Those clever enough to know about it and using it, do those suffer more by having to manually install it than those who don’t need to have it installed? Thus simplify usage documentation a bit.įor example, ssss is not used by that many. One that I can see is that if there was documentation for those, then those documentation wouldn’t need to cover how to install those. Having said why the comparison with Tails doesn’t 100% apply here… What’s the added advantage having them installed by default? Unless you are using their package persistence which requires USB, which not everyone uses. In Tails installing it by default has more value, because it’s a live distribution where it’s hard to install packages, since those are lost after reboot. Need to wait a long time until Whonix will be based on Debian stretch, so it can be installed from Debain “stable” by then. Any clever brutforce attacker tries such passwords. All the weak passwords and their corresponding encodings are already stored in some data bases. There is no magic shortcut to make a weak password strong. It will promote a strong root password by simply hashing a weak one and outputting a 256 bit one if you use SHA256.ĭoing this is a bad idea. GTKHASH is a program that's used to hash files. dev wiki: Dev/Password Manager - Kicksecure.KeePassX > not “really” maintained in Debian → too much maintenance overhead.For instance, find -type f -execdir shred -vz -n37 -u ‘’ command will delete and rename everything in your folder. ![]() I myself use the “ shred” command to delete files securely in Whonix and that is already included in the “ core-utils” in Debian. I don’t think that package should be include because the main use of it is “ SDMEM” and since Whonix is a VM, its pretty much pointless. I keep one in my email, one in my cloud service, one on my usb, one (in ascii format) on reddit, etc. I made a backup of my GPG private with gfshare!! I have 7 total shares and only need 4 to recreate my private key. Its good for disposable user names as it outputs short pronounceable passwords. PWGEN would be a great addition to Whonix. Patrick opted against it.Īlternative: JITSI. Keepassx is still being developed, however the latest version isn’t in Debian stable. Keepassx includes a hefty password (and username, see below) generator. ![]() Patrick opted to stick with the other one (can’t remember the name off the top of my head). KEEPASSX has been discussed on here before. It will promote a strong root password by simply hashing a weak one and outputting a 256 bit one if you use SHA256. GTKHASH is a program that’s used to hash files. You can read about it here: Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting. Even if FDE isn’t an option, why isn’t creating containers is? There is even a GUI for it (that TAILS is considering including it) called ZuluCrypt. You can create containers similar to TrueCrypt. That means including:ĬRYPTSETUP I’m not sure why it isn’t included. Reason being because both is a complete OS with similar goals (one being able to communicate securely and anonymously). I think the default apps for Whonix should mirror TAILS (well at least the encryption and privacy related ones). ![]()
