Just to clarify, that means that even if the UEFI is exploited, it does not 
matter with Qubes?

[qubes-users] Thinkpwn?

2016-08-13 Thread eliwu
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to find any threads here on 
thinkpwn on the qubes group. 
Should we be turning off our thinkpwn'd computers off until there are bios 
updates to correct thinkpwn?  
Specifically, if we have...
single boot qubes?
dual boot with some other os (windows / osx)?

Lastly, perhaps more importantly, once a computer has been thinkpwn'd, is there 
any way to check?  
In other words, is it no longer safe to buy a used computer with which to run 
Qubes off of (in case it has been breached by thinkpwn)?  
>From my understanding, even if you swap out the hard drive and change the os, 
>the malicious software survives.  That is huge, no?  

There is a laymen's guide on github.. I am sure that every first-world nation 
(and at the very least the cryptolocker people--they made millions in two 
months last year) have ten to twenty people working on honing out the exploit.  

Toss the old computers, or am I being too paranoid?

Thanks.  

If you do make it, please try to remember to try to be intuitive... Copy shit 
that everyone knows..  (Click on triangle to reveal subdirectory or something 
that runs through most OS guis).  Not trying to be rude or imply that qubes is 
overly complicated.. It just is by its very nature.  

I am not sure about other people, but I connect to different AppVM's via 
different VPN locales (of the same VPN provider).  Perfect?  No, but it saves 
money, and I bet a bunch of users do something like this.  Most VPN's give you 
20+ different locales to connect to (London, Paris, Sydney, etc..)  It is 
desirable (when not using tor at least) to set up different ProxyVm's for each 
AppVM that you use, even if you are using the same vpn company.  
If I am not the only one out there doing that, it would be really helpful to be 
able to visualize which appvm connects to which proxyvm (maybe by shading 
background colour or a dotted line denoting parents/children/siblings when you 
scroll over the app/proxy to indicate relationships?).  

And I probably just came up with an unintuitive idea.  But if it's intuitive to 
you too, maybe it would be for more people.  Maybe a mouse-hover would bring up 
a small explanation of 'taint/relationships with other appvm's that are using 
the same ip?  

My couple nunsense.

[qubes-users] Re: Fedora Minimal ProxyVPN template?

2016-08-09 Thread eliwu
Yeah, found that.  
I have it working from the minimal template, but am missing the network up/down 
dialog..

When the qubes-vpn-handler.sh calls
 su - -c 'notify-send "$(hostname): LINK IS UP." --icon=network-idle' user
it doesn't seem to work..

I left the template as empty as possible, downloading only 
sudo
rsyslog
NetworkManager-openvpn 
openvpn

When I try to call the 
su - -c ork-idle' user 
line in from terminal, it asks me for a password.  
I am definitely behind the vpn though, just without any dialog boxes.  Is it 
because I am missing gnome?  Any way to send a dialog out without having any 
gui?  I am looking to save on RAM and HDD space, so don't want to install 
anything I do not have to..

[qubes-users] Re: Fedora Minimal ProxyVPN template?

2016-08-07 Thread eliwu
Thx.  I wasn't really sure about the inheritance.  Qubes keeps on blowing my 
mind.  
It is actually extremely forgiving.  Maybe there are a few more hoops to jump 
through, but as long as you make copies of your templates, you can't really 
mess up.  
Anyway, good to know.  I am experimenting with pruning down the fedora23 
template and starting one from scratch--not sure which will yield positive 
results for a minimal fedora openvpn template that I can lock on to.  Will 
update when I figure something out if anyone else has similar interests.

[qubes-users] Fedora Minimal ProxyVPN template?

2016-08-05 Thread eliwu
VPN Services usually offer a number of different sites/cities to connect to.  I 
am trying to set up a minimalist bare-bones Fedora23 template that I can base 
all of my ProxyVM's off of (via cloning), such that I only have to change the 
.ovpn file within each Proxy in the /rw/config/openvpn folder (and name the 
ProxyVM accordingly).  
This would allow me to choose to have a quick way to easily have a distinct 
proxyvm for each appvm that I can change at will w/o taking up excess memory.  

Does anyone have this set-up (or a better idea)?  If you do, care to share what 
packages you have pared it down to?

[qubes-users] vpnleak or my vpn

2016-07-30 Thread eliwu
I set up a vpn in accordance to cprise's advice.. 
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/qubes-users/UbY4-apKScE/discussion.  

dnsleaktest.com comes back all good.  (shows my vpn's ip address)
dnsleak.com, however, is showing multiple dns leaks.   
They are, however, from random places all over the world, none of which have 
any connection to my IP.  
Does this have something to do with my vpn or am I setting it up wrong?  

Connecting through dhcp to the vpn..

One thing I am not sure about is where to put are the up/dwn commands. 
Working now, I have in my *.ovpn file, is..

#down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
#up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
script-security 2
up vpn-setup2.sh
down vpn-setup2.sh

Is that right?

Have not figured out Bluetooth yet, but can now confirm.. 
Logitech's "Unifying" tech (from way back in the day) works like a charm.  It 
is the least amount of effort you will ever do in Qubes, for the most 
happiness.  (That usually means there is some security vulnerability 
somewhere)..  
Plug in the usb unifying thingy and.. it works.  
Being not very technical, this could be a security flaw.  But if your attack 
surface if not within 25 feet, go for it.  Tested and working on a mx master.  
Right click and scroll wheel work, not sure about the other buttons, but don't 
get your hopes up.
