Hello there all,
I am currently following the instructions to create an OSINT VM
Michael Bazzell's "Open Source Intelligence Techniques 8th Edition."
Naturally I'm trying to avoid installing a whole new OS (Ubuntu is
recommended by the author) or to have a dedicated laptop for this. I
figured it would be a fun experiment to see how far I could get with
Qubes before I ran into problems.
So far, issues are minor but when I hit a roadblock, like the below
terminal text, I'm ill-prepared to troubleshoot it myself. Can someone
help me understand what I'm looking at and how to fix it so I can
install packages via pip onto my Fedora templateVM? Thank you
Qubes version: 4.0
Problem: Need to install recommended OSINT tools to Fedora 32
templateVM, user is inexperienced with Linux and troubleshooting issues.
Solutions attempted: YOLOing it and figuring out how to install each
package as best I can, as I come across them, bypassing the ones which
I have difficulty installing.
Relevant Terminal text:
[user@fedora-32 ~]$ sudo -H python3 -m pip install instalooter

good idea. Try `python3 -m pip install --user` instead.

Hello. I can't address your specific issues with a Fedora install as I
chose to use Debian for my similar install. A big reason for me was
video CODEC issues in Fedora. I got fairly well into it about a year ago
and have not worked with it since. I took your route as well, "figuring
out how to install each package as best I can, as I come across them,
bypassing the ones which I have difficulty installing". Linux is not my
strong point either, but I do love Qubes.
I created a Debian based templateVM with his mods, (the intent was to
have a separate VM for each case) but that has its own quirks (browser
shortcuts for example and using Firefox). It can be a high maintenance
VM given the dynamic nature of the Internet and the purpose of an OSINT
VM. I believe the maintenance aspect of his own purpose built OSINT VM
image he offered for a while played a bigger part in his discontinuing
support for it than he publicly admits.
I'd have to review my files on this as I believe I kept notes on the
install while following his instructions for the modifications. Be
cautious of the tools he suggests, especially in the context of Qubes'
reason for being. Bazzell has some great ideas and suggestions, but I
urge due diligence - really understand the tool he suggests. Only you
know your individual risk level.
