kaos.theory: fractal blog

Today, although it’s possible, Anonym.OS is not designed for easy installation. Remember, this was our first beta and the primary goal was pushing out a live operating environment that was [mostly] stable and effectively provided strong security, anonymity and encryption out of the box.

Seems we nailed that goal pretty well, so our next step is to address all of the optional but highy desirable features, like:

* Installation to HD/USB

* Automatic mounting of local HD partitions

* More “desktop” tools like office apps, multimedia, etc

These features are being included based on the number of requests we get, so make sure and let us know what you want to see most in future versions of Anonym.OS!

Honestly, this one really gets us as well. Turns out to be a kernel issue, and yes, we’re working on it, but in the meantime, we made sure to include “lsof,” from which you can still determine listening ports and their associated processes, albeit a little bit more of an roundabout process. Nonetheless, lsof is a wicked cool tool, so check it out.

For those in or around LA / SoCal, mark your calendars to come see kaos.theory on April 15th and 16th. I’ll be presenting at LayerOne with digunix on Anonym.OS, and we’d love to see you there!

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the vestiges of our privacy. From increased governmental surveilance to corporate content restrictions and data brokers, what you do, where you go, and who you talk to is of more interest to more people every day.

Anonym.OS is an OpenBSD 3.8 Live CD with strong tools for anonymizing and encrypting connections. Standard network applications are provided and configured to take advantage of the tor onion routing network.

Lots been going on behind the curtain lately. Hopefully, in as little as a few short days, I’ll be implementing:

• improved RSS feeds courtesy of FeedBurner
• email syndication courtesy of FeedBlitz
• and a new website with frequently asked questions and answers, prominent download links for Anonym.OS, how-to’s and tutorials, and much, much more!

Stay tuned for details!
