Re: [qubes-users] Re: Kaspersky OS
I'm not sure if it is, or if it is open source. But he didn't mentioned it at all in his blog post ( https://eugene.kaspersky.com/2016/11/15/finally-our-own-os-oh-yes/) If I would make such an operating system, I would at least mention that it will be open source, if it would be. He didn't, and Kaspersky isn't fame for doing Free Software/publishing source code, so I guess its closed source. But it could be open source. I just don't believe so. The article i read failed to mention it was close source... Totally agree if thats the case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

It's obviously not the intended use anyway. As soon as there is a user in front of a terminal, "hack-proofing" the system isn't possible as it is a known fact that the stated goal of nature is creating dumber and dumber users. Technology will never catch up. Achim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

But I've got a few Qubes systems happily running. It might be an ideal solution for the outward-facing VMs (networking, firewall) as it is in fact a minimalistic OS for this kind of devices (or why would they have put it on a router first?). But I could just as well imagine them running on QNX which is obviously safe enouth to protect Cisco hardware (think IOS XR) (keep in mind that the Cisco vulnerabilities up to now are results from sloppily written non-core functionality modules). I even wondered briefly if it was possible to use a Mikrotik router VM on Qubes. Alas, someone has to provide it; I'm not going to do that myself.

[qubes-users] Re: Kaspersky OS
I don't like this project at all to be honest. First thing is that it's closed source, which means he can prove exactly *nothing* to me in terms of security. As long as I can't check, I don't believe. Sorry. Second: He writes it's hacking proof, which is impossible to proof. Yes, maybe it's hard to hack, but here again: We can't know. Nobody besides Kaspersky can. And as long as this is the case, I won't think better of it than I do from Cisco and others. Kaspersky Software had some problems with security when itself should make your systems more secure, which doesn't make it any better. Time will proof. Maybe it's an alternative OS for routers, switches and IoT stuff, but in my opinion its not better than everything else out there, if its not even worse. I'd prefer Subgraph (Already was a topic in this mailing list) or OpenBSD as base / template. And: Probably nothing will run on that Kaspersky OS, because its coded from scratch. No browser, no email client etc. You would need to port all this software to KasperskyOS, or develop it from scratch aswell, and I think is no practical approach, for a lot of different reasons. -Fabian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: Kaspersky OS
Wow just been reading about Kaspersky OS. Dam maybe this could be a new super hardened VM for Qubes..? Apparently not even based on Linux tho, built from the ground up, 14 year project. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
