Thank you!
One nitpick. What I find non-ideal is using external links (https...) rather than [internal links]. As well as using references for major points.
* Disable ICMP and TCP timestamps on your host operating system.<ref>https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Computer_Security_Education#Disable_TCP_Timestamps</ref> <ref>https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Computer_Security_Education#Disable_ICMP_Timestamps</ref>
Proposal.
* [[Computer_Security_Education#Disable_TCP_Timestamps|Disable ICMP timestamps]] and [[Computer_Security_Education#Disable_ICMP_Timestamps|disable TCP timestamps]] on your host operating system.
I envisioned to use footnotes for stuff that is less important for users.
- To hide complexity from someone who just wants to absorb the information. To present the complexity in smaller steps.
- More detailed technical reasoning why one or another thing is stated. This gives people who want to question/audit this information on why it was done. So they and we are spared from a lot questions. Also because it’s a lot stuff which is easily forgotten in a year from now.
- To back up controversial / unpopular claims. For example under Windows Hosts we say:
This feature includes a kill switch that can allow Microsoft (or any one with an exploit for this mechanism) to delete programs on your machine without your consent.- For someone not into that topic it sounds outrageous and unbelievable this easily triggers a “conspiracy theorist bullshit” thought. Therefore we back it up with a reference to a PC magazine saying the same and going into details. The Windows 8 Kill Switch: A Hacker's Dream Come True | PCMag
