Whonix / Documentation / Home

I tried out Whonix Linux in Virtual Box today. This is how you are suppose to run Whonix, in a VM. I've been reading through the info and How To's on the Site on and off for the past three days. There's plenty of information on how to get Whonix up and running. But, it seems to be scattered all throughout the site. So, it too me a while to actually get to the point of setting it up and trying to give it a try. I say trying... Because, the Whonix Gateway would not run on my Fedora 14 System in Virtual Box at all. It gave an error and shut down on Boot. So, I was was left with only half of the OS to try out. The Workstation. That, either hung up on Boot, in the VM. Or it was just taking too long, because my system is only a Core 2 with 2.5GB of Ram. So, I gave up and shut it down. It was only going to be half of the system, after all. So, I lost interest, at this point. The Whonix Workstation uses 768MB of memory and the Gateway uses 128MB of your Systems Hardware Memory. My Hardware Video Card, has 512MB of DDR Video Memory. But, this is not really enough to be able to spare 128MB of the Video Memory for Whonix Workstation and then another 8MB for the Gateway. Which has to be run in a Separate VM, at the same time. Still, Whonix looks like a very interesting and secure OS, for those who have the Hardware that can handle it. So, I will be back to check it out. Later on, after I build that new System, that I've been planning and dreaming of....

Don

Whonix is an anonymous general purpose operating system based on Virtual Box, Debian GNU/Linux and Tor. By Whonix design, IP and DNS leaks are impossible. Not even malware with root rights can find out the user's real IP/location.

This is because Whonix consists of two (virtual) machines. One machine solely runs Tor and acts as a gateway, which we call Whonix-Gateway. The other machine, which we call Whonix-Workstation, is on a completely isolated network. Only connections through Tor are possible.

This is only a very brief introduction. See Documentation and/or Technical Design for a more comprehensive description, security features and threat model. To find out how secure/anonymous Whonix is, see Security Overview.

Whonix is produced independently from the Tor® anonymity software and carries no guarantee from The Tor Project about quality, suitability or anything else.|

Whonix Features

Whonix is an Anonymous Operating System. It hides your IP/location and uses Tor to anonymize your data traffic. This means that neither the contacted server, nor any eavesdropper on your connections, nor the operators of the Tor network themselves can realize which webservice you use.

Basically all programs can used together with Whonix.

  • For web browsing, Tor Browser is included.
  • Messengers, like Pidgin, with the Jabber protocol and the OTR plugin.
  • Privacy friendly e-mail client: Mozilla Thunderbird with TorBirdy
  • scp for secure data transfer from and to a server.
  • Unobserved administration of servers via SSH
  • Web servers: Apache, ngnix, IRC servers, etc. via Hidden Services
  • Other programs...

It is possible, with the help of Whonix, to use applications via Tor, which are not capable of proxy support by themselves.

Everything is explained in [Documentation].

Advantages of Whonix

  • All applications, including those, which do not support proxy settings, will automatically be routed through Tor.^1^ ^2^ ^3^ ^4^
  • Installation of any software package possible.^12^
  • Safe hosting of Hidden services possible. ^13^
  • Protection against side channel attacks, no IP or DNS leaks possible. ^16^
  • Advantage over Live CD's: Tor's data directory is still available after reboot, due to persistent storage. Tor requires persistent storage to save it's Entry Guards.
  • Java / JavaScript^15^ / flash / Browser Plugins^9^ / misconfigured applications cannot leak your real external IP. See Whonix security in real world.
  • Protection against IP/location discovery through root exploits (Malware with root rights) inside Whonix-Workstation. But you really should not test it, read footnote ^a^ and follow links mentioned in footnote ^a^.
  • Uses only Free Software.
  • Building Whonix from source is easy, see [BuildDocumentation].
  • Tor+Vidalia^10^ and Tor Browser are not running inside the same machine. That means that for example an exploit in the browser can't affect the integrity of the Tor process.
  • It is possible to use Whonix in conjunction with VPNs, ssh and other proxies. But see Tor plus VPN/proxies Warning. Everything possible, as first chain or last chain, or both.
  • Loads of [Features].
  • Loads of Optional Configurations (additional features / Add-Ons) available.
  • Best possible Protocol-Leak-Protection and Fingerprinting-Protection.
  • Private obfuscated [Bridges] can be added to /etc/tor/torrc.
  • Whonix-Gateway can also torify Windows, see [OtherOperatingSystems].

Disadvantages of Whonix

  • More difficult to set up compared to the regular Tor Browser Bundle.
  • Needs virtual machines or spare hardware.
  • Updating OS and applications behind the Tor proxy is slow.
  • Higher maintenance required.^14^
  • Tor Button's New Identity button is not supported with Whonix, see Tor Browser for a workaround.

1. Pre Install Advice

Read and apply: Security Advice before installing Whonix.

2. Install

Just import both Whonix .ova images into Virtual Box. Do not change any settings! (You could do that later.) Do not change MAC address!

The .ova images should be imported into Virtual Box. There is also highly experimental support for [VMware], but only Virtual Box is fully supported, rather use Virtual Box.

Security Updates

Regularly check for security updates and apply them with:

Network Time Syncing

Don't wonder... To prevent against time zone leaks, the system clock inside Whonix was set to UTC. This means it may be a few hours before or ahead of your host system clock. Do not change!

Don't use the suspend/safe/resume feature of Virtual Box, unless you understood the Network Time Synchronization chapter from the Advanced Security Guide.

If your host clock is more than 1 hour in past or more than 3 hour in future, Tor can't connect. In this case fix your host clock manually (right click on clock). (Check for empty battery.) Then power off Whonix-Gateway and power Whonix-Gateway on again, Tor should be able to connect again. If your host clock is even more off, you could get into trouble updating your host operating system so have an eye on it that it's somewhat accurate.

This chapter is supposed to be as simple and short as possible to provide basic protection. You can archive more security if you understand the Network Time Synchronization chapter from the Advanced Security Guide.

Cameras - Extending Battery Life - Ultimate rechargable AA batteries for Canon camera by zapmaker

I like this idea. I will have to check the voltage, in my Camera. But, I think it may work in my Camera too...

Don


Ultimate rechargeable AA batteries for Canon camera

zapmaker

rebuild, remake, create

This one begins with my frustration with the poor rechargeable battery performance in most Canon point-and-shoots using two AA size batteries. Canon cameras that use two AA batteries seem to be pretty much useless with normal NiMH rechargeables, as they last for about 10 shots or so, if you are lucky – that’s because they produce only 2.4 V.


Solution: Use a single LiFePO4 3.2V AA cell coupled with a dummy cell.

LiFePO4 is Lithium Iron Phosphate, a safer alternative to the usual Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifepo4


The dummy cell is just a chunk of wood filed down to be cylindrical and the same length as a AA cell. A hole is drilled down the center and a 2″ long wood screw is screwed in. The end of the screw would be ground down, as it is usually too sharp to put into the battery enclosure. One can also put a small amount of crushed aluminum foil over the end of the screw so that it fits nicely in the battery enclosure.

Although LiFePO4 batteries are safer than most Lithium-based batteries but this comes at a price: About half or third the power capacity. Fortunately, because they hold their voltage well over their discharge cycle, this isn't a big problem on cameras. Plus you can carry extra as they are light and you only need one when in the past you needed two!

A few cautions

How to Mount a Floppy Disk in Fedora 13-14

Here's how to Mount a Floppy Disk in Fedora 13-14...
Don


Do a"modprobe floppy" first. 

Then you get the floppy device in /dev: 

/dev/fd0u1040 /dev/fd0u1120 /dev/fd0u1440 /dev/fd0u1600 /dev/fd0u1680 /dev/fd0u1722 /dev/fd0u1743 /dev/fd0u1760 /dev/fd0u1840 /dev/fd0u1920 /dev/fd0u360 /dev/fd0u720 /dev/fd0u800 /dev/fd0u820 /dev/fd0u830 

Now you can create the directory /mnt/floppy and mount your floppy to that point: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1440 /mnt/floppy 

See URL: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/fedora-13-mounting-floppy-813466/ -- Regards Jon Ingason

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-August/402963.html
 

Or I made an "fd0" folder in "/mnt/" in Krusader "root mode" GUI File Manager. Then do this in the Terminal...
# modprobe floppy
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 -o sync,rw

 

Then, when I wanted to change floppy out, to read another one. I kept the mount command in my clip board and just added a "u" and pasted in the rest, like this...
"umount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 -o sync,rw" 

Then insert the another floppy disk and mount the floppy drive again... 
"mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 -o sync,rw"  

Note: This worked fine for reading a floppy disk. But, I couldn't write a new file. Every time I tried and on different Preformatted Dos Flpppy Disks. I got an Error on writing the file...

Lessons Learned, from a maker entrepreneur who made the Pianocade

I like this story, for the lessons learned. Hopefully, this will save the rest of us, some trouble...

Don

Up, not North - Pianocade post-mortem: lessons learned starting a maker business

Pianocade post-mortem: lessons learned starting a maker business

March 6th, 2013

Six months ago I launched my first commercial project: the Pianocade synthesizer. Several months behind schedule and significantly above budget, I’ve finally managed to ship all the preorders. Needless to say, things did not go as planned.

If you’d asked me a few weeks ago whether I would ever do this again, I’d have laughed (and then maybe cried a little). But as I finished off the last few units, I started thinking about how much I’d learned from the experience. I was surprised to find myself getting excited about giving it another try and seeing if I could make things run more smoothly. I’ve even, heaven help me, started designing a completely new product!

In the meantime, I hope others can also benefit from some lessons I learned while turning my hobby into a business (or at least have a laugh at my expense).

The problem is supply, not demand

Though in hindsight it seems hopelessly naïve, I thought that taking preorders was the perfect business model: it removes the need for any sort of external investment, while simultaneously demonstrating that demand exists for your product at your price point. My faith in preorders reflected a belief that selling things would be the hard part of starting a business, but in my experience that wasn’t the case: selling was easy, it was actually making things that was hard.

Murphy was right

DIY Portable Media Center Extender - hack247

This is something I would like to build. It would be great to be able to Transmit Video from a Media Center Computer, throughout the House and Yard too...

DIY Portable Media Center Extender

Posted on 29.05.06 in the category Electronics

I needed a device that would enable me to interact with my x-box running XBMC, allow me to watch streaming internet TV in the garden, or control my music collection from anywhere in the house, after looking at all the available options, the Portable Media Center Extender was born!

We managed to find a wireless video sender and receiver at a knock down price, the Televes Digidom 7602 AV Video Sender is a  2Ghz Transmitter with a 100m range that also transmits infrared signals over UHF.  This was perfect for the job and its compact size made it even more suited.  We managed to pick up the transmitter and receiver for £10 which was a bargain, wired them both up and tested them out for range and picture quality.  The infrared transmitting function was also tested to ensure it suited our requirements.

Now we had to start thinking about a screen and a case for the project, the minimum width was dictated by the AV sender PCB but the overall dimensions would have to be as small as possible to make it portable  At the same time it  would need an LCD large enough to be of any use.  After looking around at different size displays we eventually decided on the official Sony PSone LCD screen.

The pictures above show the LCD after it has been stripped Here are some specs 5" TFT LCD Screen 7.5v 3a 640×480 Resolution Stereo Sound Output This LCD offered a good resolution at a decent size, managed to get hold of a redundant one and started stripping it. We also decided on a project box from Maplins.  The screen size was marked out for a template, cuts were made using a dremel cutting disc to score them, and then snapped off with pliers. The box is nice and shiny aluminum underneath, but the protective sheet was left on until the end to avoid it getting scratched.

Korora 18 - Beta (Flo) Fedora Remix

I am running Korora 17 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 Laptop. It's only 1.6GHz and it runs great with Korora. There are many good Apps to get you going fast. Of course I ran my install Script and installed some more of my favorite Apps too. I chose the KDE Desktop Version. It has Krusader file manager installed and ready to go (my favorite file manager). You can get 'root' privileges by just opening Krusader in root mode, from withing the App. Then you can do your work in the GUI. I also installed Mate Desktop. Which is just like Gnome 2, my favorite Linux Desktop. Mate, also runs noticeably faster than KDE on Korora. Now, Korora 18 Beta is out and ready to try out. Check it out...

Korora 18 - Beta (Flo)

Released: 20 Feb 2013

This is the latest beta version of the Korora Linux operating system.

It’s everything you need to try out Korora — you don’t have to erase anything on your current system and it won’t put your files at risk.

Simply take Korora for a test drive on a DVD or USB stick and if you like what you see, you can install Korora directly to your hard drive straight from the Live Media desktop.

Follow the steps to download …

Read More...
https://kororaproject.org/download/

Korora was born out of a desire to make Linux easier for new users, while still being useful for experts. The main goal of Korora is to provide a complete, easy to use system for general computing.

Originally based on Gentoo Linux in 2005, Korora was re-born in 2010 as a Fedora Remix[1] with tweaks and extras to make the system “just work” out of the box.

Why Fedora? Lots of reasons!

Desktops

Korora comes in a few installable versions which include both the KDE and GNOME desktops.

GNOME

KDE


Default applications

Korora sets the default applications to those that we believe end users typically want. For example, Firefox is the default web browser (instead of Konqueror in KDE and Epiphany in GNOME) and VLC is the default media player (instead of Dragon Player in KDE and Totem in GNOME). There is generally one popular program installed for each task, although alternatives (such as the Google Chrome web browser) are available via the package manager for a quick install.

Package repositories

Korora also pre-configures several third party repositories, making it easier to install the additional software that most people uses. These include packages like:

  • Adobe Flash
  • Google Chrome and Google Earth
  • RPMFusion
  • VirtualBox

While we are not permitted to distribute Adobe’s Flash plugin, it is available to install out of the box via the package manager.

Third party driver support

Korora makes use of the Jockey Device Driver Manager, for simple installation of third party drivers such as those for NVIDIA graphics cards and certain wireless devices.

Korora also comes with all the development tools and kernel headers you need to easily install out of tree kernel modules, such as those required by VirtualBox. These modules are automatically built when you get a new kernel update thanks to Dynamic Kernel Module Support.

Goals

The main goal of Korora is to provide a complete, easy to use system for general computing which is assisted by the following:

  • Support for as much hardware as possible
  • End user desired applications as defaults (e.g. Firefox over Konqueror)
  • Ability to play all media out of the box using free software, wherever possible
  • Make it easy for users to get Adobe Flash, if they want it
  • Target specific applications for tasks with as little bloat as possible
  • Provide simple means to getting support
  • Provide howtos, guides, on how to use the system
  • Build a little community of happy Linux users

Note: Korora is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project. Official, unmodified Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website.
