^FIXED :)



VMs' own internal security has a chance to work and even shake-off 
rootkits and other malware when VMs are restarted or the template 
receives security updates.

[qubes-users] Qubes VM Hardening v0.8.2 Released!

2018-04-15 Thread Chris Laprise
Leverage Qubes template non-persistence to fend off malware.  Lock-down, 
quarantine and check contents of /rw private storage that affect the VM 
execution environment.


vm-boot-protect.service:

  *  Acts at VM startup before private volume /rw mounts

  *  User: Protect /home desktop & shell startup executables

  *  Root: Quarantine all /rw configs & scripts, with whitelisting

  *  Re-deploy custom or default files to /rw on each boot

  *  SHA256 hash checking against unwanted changes

  *  Provides rescue shell on error or request

  *  Works with template-based AppVMs, sys-net and sys-vpn


Also included is the 'configure-sudo-prompt' tool which restores 
authorization for sudo on Debian. vm-boot-protect isn't effective with 
"passwordless sudo" Qubes default -- this tool restores VM internal 
security using a dom0 yes/no prompt in place of passwords.
