Good work 0brand Those who have technical skills and can write sensibly are rare.
I put all the BitMessage stuff on its own page (which it deserves & because of length) and put you as maintainer. Hope that is okay. Did some small edits too (I think your last two recorded edits were missed by me e.g. pic update etc).
On second thought, its not a big enough deal to worry about.
A little more cleaning up to do on the Email page and it will be done.
Considering I quite literally knew nothing and couldn’t write worth shit when I starting visiting Whonix.org. My tech skill and writing ability can be attributed to having great teachers. Some of the best IMO
I see the Dev/Mixmaster page has most of the proper installation / config etc settings, so why don’t I use all the good info from that page, merge with the main Mixmaster page, then you can later delete that Dev page?
I presume those instructions are still functional? Never played with it before.
Also, I gather all Re-mailers are not traditional email, so I put them under “alternatives” (since that is how they are described on the Email Overview page). Better split on ToC that way.
Basically all the wiki up to Anonymous Email section is tight now, so would like to keep editing from there down. Exception:
“Testers” page - maybe 0brand and I can work through all the missing steps / instructions?
Also, we should finish off the DispVM page as a priority, as it is a bit of a mess.
I can do that Maybe make instructions a little easier for less experienced users to follow. The more testers we have all the better for development.
Um..yes it was me I put a lot of hard work into that page
I’ll start on the Qubes/DispVM first since it only has a few TODOs to complete.
I’ve also been working on sys-whonix DispVMs with persistent entry guards. Created using the instructions you and I authored for Service VMs (Qubes Docs). I’m hesitant to post until I have testing/research completed. In the past I posted DispVM hacks that were not safe to use but some forum members still insisted on using and even recommending to other users after Patrick asked then not to.

Dev/Mixmaster is just dev notes. /Mixmaster should be ok as is content wise.

Not sure we gain much by importing other pages. We don’t really have anyone to maintain Microsoft Windows Hosts either. It exists now and has some info but no one really working on it actively (engage with community, capability to debate/clarify).
Factually incorrect. Implies properly implemented IPSec, TLS and SSH is vulnerable to MITM attack if router is infected and that is not true. These protocols are resilient in face of untrusted middle nodes across the internet.
Not directly relevant to Whonix. Whonix security does not depend on whether your router is safe or not - therefore does not deserve such depth. In many cases you don’t have a choice in the software your network uses because it is not your network if you are on the go.
Even with a safe router, you are still hosed if family members run untrusted devices with proprietary spyware like Windows or out-of-the-box Android ROMs.
Implies you can be safe from targeted attacks - practically impossible in face of the adversaries mentioned and therefore false.
A laundry list of NSA/GCHQ tooling when the phrase “software or hardware implants” will do.
I think this page should say off the shelf routers should not be considered trusted and leave it at that. This means deprecating these sections.
The whole router/Wifi hardening guide is kinda pointless considering this. FOSS firmware recommendations are welcome. Open Hardware DIY guides, even better.
