-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Whonix is an operating system focused on anonymity, privacy and security. It's based on the Tor anonymity network, Debian GNU/Linux and the principle of security by isolation. DNS leaks are impossible, and not even malware with root privileges can find out the user's real IP.
Whonix consists of two parts: One solely runs Tor and acts as a gateway, which we call Whonix-Gateway. The other, which we call Whonix-Workstation, is on a completely isolated network. Only connections through Tor are possible. Download: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Download Users of Whonix 0.5.6 and below: There is no upgrade path from Whonix 0.5.6 to Whonix 7. You have to manually download new Whonix images. Call for Help: If you know shell scripting (/bin/bash) and linux sysadmin, please join us! There are plenty of ways to make Whonix safer. We are also looking for an https direct download mirror. Whonix 7 Changelog: * Updated Tor to 0.2.4. * Installed obfs3 by default. (for obfsproxy bridges) * New Identity button on Tor Browser is now functional thanks to the Control Port Filter Proxy (#3). * Tor Browser is now the system default browser (#86). In addition, when opening a link or an html file it will ask for confirmation to avoid accidental linking. (configurable) * Graphical Whonix-Gateway (#26). Optionally, if you reduce Whonix-Gateway RAM to below 500 MB, let's say to 128 MB, you automagically end up with the usual non-graphical Whonix-Gateway. (configurable) * Whonix now includes an updater. It can not be promised that you will never have to download a new image for next stable releases, but we are on that way. Interested testers may have to download images of testing releases from time to time. * Tor networking is disabled for the first start of Whonix-Gateway. The connection wizard (whonixsetup) will automatically start to help enabling Tor or setting up bridges. This is useful for people using bridges to connect to the Tor network to hide the fact that they are using Tor. * The current Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) Alpha, which will soon become the new TBB stable, will work out of the box in Whonix, even if you download and install it manually from torproject.org. This is useful for the case that the Whonix Tor Browser updater breaks due to changes on torproject.org. Tor over Tor situation will be automatically prevented on manual installs. * Boot Clock Randomization. * Time Sanity Check. * Higher console resolution: 1024x768 (without X). * Disabled the throw-keyids option on gpg.conf due to usability issues. Enable it manually if you need it. * Fixed uwt. To do certain tasks such as installing the Adobe Flash plugin or running update-command-not-found you no longer need to "chmod -x /usr/local/bin/curl". * Deactivated the kgpg tray icon by default (#10), not perfect, but less confusing, since it will now start in foreground by default and no longer as tray icon (which was automatically and confusingly hidden by default). * Downloading Tor Browser and signature from idnxcnkne4qt76tg.onion instead of torproject.org for better security when run inside Whonix. * Time Privacy wrapper (optional). * Enable "apparmor=1 security=apparmor" by default (didn't enable enforce mode or add any useful profiles yet). * Manpages for scripts which come with Whonix. * Flexible modular .d style configuration folders: /etc/whonix.d/, /etc/whonix_firewall.d/, /etc/controlportfilt.d/. * Moved blog to wordpress.com, better than sourceforge, because wordpress.com supports SSL, closed #23. * Lots of other improvements and bug fixes which can be found under the git log. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJSWZq5AAoJEJwTGtNxOq7vSNIP/3TB3Ot0mpN6OL0HlwpUwlYn RkVg6pbkZqLqbhO5A+V+QtnhNi2vOE6NDP0EpzlztUju5sdXPFhuZutP7Hy8b6j8 X287uajmfEwVlJhm89h7FR9pfzEsE9s6g7j0G8X6mIX7SPWTD1pobt3BEIDW9gtm xzwzdnEJLkMcNKe0NEXTmHbxK52MkDR9DvKVivLt7sybMnoaAo7CIcYBjOYacjgZ jEtDa7xXUefmxLbQTgWhNoYkwr/Bz9voOXYpIXiXS24Rc8FxA/j7D83KN/Kfa9A7 tqo4IGoCiPOEFs9eGDcL6x7uX9Gl78rP14jay7HA2AV0UBExDRcFKCewdqRG+CSw i+QexJKSC7nUvV+FfvNZ+6ebjzJs6HpvsuAgWLoexscfKXlyjRca4xSbg6DEGHFZ x2TOx/xPOVqftMLcngzNC3F+X9K38dFi6H86USR8qqw7qieQgsZ6YlHA1tGOr2J0 pKmzQ9G2yhe3vTL+Fkoogldr6HK4lX83WYMV0hya8T74e1NI+kbwqFnUs3A8JNs1 ecPY5TSyfvxXaeTpWcQxRd5md/YSHeejgVRdFdLY6IajGwwWYArJFEEFXHBKqSd6 vKF2nhBZHdqqNDHA2uVyzBlBMrw2FU8/Mwv4qoL5dmyuRQWmLrBEUreqMZvKUOQw uRILI7QEDmi4NQQ2NUmb =ZfCc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
