Is there access to ANY KIND of accurate hardware information in Whonix with KVM? If yes, what kind of information?
Resources I’ve consulted:
- https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Protocol-Leak-Protection_and_Fingerprinting-Protection#Less_important_identifiers
- https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Comparison_with_Others#Hardware_Serials
- https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/Technical_Introduction#Sensitive_Information
It’s not noted how exhaustive the first list is, so I’m not sure how complete the protection is. I imagine this is really a question of the virtualization software used, but the primary purpose of virtualization is not hiding hardware information. Expecting to achieve this just by running a (K)VM seems somewhat optimistic to me, but I may be wrong. Does Whonix take any extra measures to hide hardware information other than relying on the hypervisor? What would be the best way to ensure complete hardware anonymisation, if not with KVM+Whonix?
