kaos.theory: fractal blog

NARC has been re-posted to SourceForge in zipped source form, as it was released at DEFCON 14. For those interested, see the NARC Project Page.

UHOH. Last minute QA uncovered a few interface issues that could make setting up and configuring SAMAEL difficult, if not impossible. For this reason, we’ve temporarily pulled the download. Please don’t worry, we’ll have it back online very soon!

That’s right, from the 1337 hax0rs that brought you Anonym.OS, kaos.theory/security.research presents S.A.M.A.E.L. (Secure, Anonymous, Megalomaniacal, Autonomous, Encrypting Linux), the natural evolution of our secure, automagicically anonymizing operating system, Anonym.OS into a kick-ass anonymizing server!

In unison, we’re proud to introduce N.A.R.C…

Just found out yesterday (by accident, go figure) that Anonym.OS is nominated to be nominated for the 2006 SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards! Woot!

If you’ve downloaded, used and enjoyed Anonym.OS (or haven’t, but love the idea), please take a few moments to go to the SourceForge page and vote for us in the Security category! Nominations close today, so please take a few minutes to go there now!

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.

Ruleset by elmore; initially built as a base template forAnonym.OS/BSD LiveCD. (Note: Anonym.OS uses a newer PF ruleset by elmore, not available separately. For the newer ruleset, please download Anonym.OS and extract /etc/pf.conf.

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.
