It could install a different bootloader, and take control of any loading OS should it be designed to do so. It's also extremely unlikely that such a sophisticated tool would be freely found on the Internet; as I said before, you should proceed with order and model your threats first, and think of a sensible defense later.

In this case Qubes is quite nice because it may help separate your lifes - eg. threats that may harm your personal life (data exfiltration, malware) have a hard time expanding to other environments. As for online security, disposable VMs add another layer of insulation. > How should I encrypt my data with windows? I've been using TrueCrypt (when it was still maintained), DiskCryptor (a fork/port of truecrypt to support Win 8 and later), but I would suggest bitlocker for the same scenario, which is protection against casual theft. If your enemies are keeping you in their crosshairs and are willing to spend, you will want to make sure of always turn completely off your computers when you are not using them (cold boot attacks likelihood reduced) but in the end nothing purely computational will protect you from the XKCD scenario Zrubi linked. > So you think any encryption will fail, when you spend enough time & > material? Yes, if it's protecting anything worthy to a human. -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
