Advanced Operating System Newly designed for Security


Qubes is an open source operating system designed to provide strong security for desktop computing. Qubes is based on Xen, X Window System, and Linux, and can run most Linux applications and utilize most of the Linux drivers.

 In the future it might also run Windows apps.

>> Key architecture features:

Based on a secure bare-metal hypervisor (Xen)
Networking code sand-boxed in an unprivileged VM (using IOMMU/VT-d)
No networking code in the privileged domain (dom0)
All user applications run in “AppVMs”, lightweight VMs based on Linux
Centralized updates of all AppVMs based on the same template
Qubes GUI virtualization presents applications like if they were running locally
Qubes GUI provides isolation between apps sharing the same desktop
Storage drivers and backends sand-boxed in an unprivileged virtual machine(*)
Secure system boot based on Intel TXT(*)

 Whonix: Anonymous OS:-


 

Whonix has called TorBOX  is an anonymous general purpose operating system based on Virtual Box, Debian GNU/Linux and Tor.

By Whonix design, IP and DNS leaks are impossible. Not even malware with root rights can find out the user's real IP/location.

This is because Whonix consists of two (virtual) machines. One machine solely runs Tor and acts as a gateway, which we call Whonix-Gateway. The other machine, which we call Whonix-Workstation, is on a completely isolated network. Only connections through Tor are possible.

Whonix is produced independently from the Tor (r) anonymity software and carries no guarantee from The Tor Project about quality, suitability or anything else. Due to trademark issues the project was renamed to Whonix
