Vista after Service Pack one (desktop widgets excluded due to massive security issues) was a fantastic operating system for systems designed for (not compatible with, they're different) it, offering fantastic performance and significantly increased security over a windows XP installation. Windows 7 aimed to fix the shortcomings of vista, being that it kind of felt like an overbearing nanny at times.
Vista was a disaster inside of another disaster, so you could disaster while you disaster. I have an old circa 2009 laptop someone gave me; it runs Vista. I only use it now for running IBM World Community Grid Covid research simulations and studies, not for general use. Nope.
Protecting User Privacy has never been a priority for Microsoft. For decades, they actively worked with law enforcement to help them mine data off of users PCs. The documents exposing this have been out on the internet for a long time... When a corporation says they "Value your privacy" it doesn't mean what you think it means. What they are actually saying is they see a value in violating your privacy. If you ACTUALLY READ a "privacy statement" you'll find it's simply a detailed explanation of all the ways they intend to violate your privacy. Not a list of all the measures they will take to protect it.
Valuing privacy = "let's keep harvesting all your data, but encrypt it so we're not actively doxxing people 24/7 and you can't tell what we're actually harvesting."
@ViciousDave4Life IRS: i don't agree with your _findings_ (floppies against data loss, seriously? how do you know that?) it sounds to me more like a consequence of undercutting its budget to cripple their ability to get the taxes from cheaters (corporations).
@ViciousDave4Life Used tons of floppy disks back in the day, of every sort. Horrible rate of file corruption, eventually resorted to using zip files with at least one duplicate zip file for backup. Scary to think of critical data on a floppy! That's probably why they won't upgrade, they know half of those floppies are garbage.
At the end of the day, that inconvenience may end up being a huge convenience that the government doesn't get a chance to royally interfere with your life! Even non-government malicious parties could wreck havoc on your life too, costing you dearly for that 'minor' security inconvenience.
Just 30 min ago I was reading the case of him in a ppt uploaded by my teacher.I didn't even search him and suddenly got this video in recommended.Talk about privacy.
How can I get it? I use Word and Excel a lot; does Qubes have anything like that? Sorry for the ignorant question, but this is the first time I hear about it.
When I feel paranoid, I either turn off the lights and the internet, or I imagine FBI and other corporations are my fans and make all my folders 'public'.
Qubes is for the case where you want to do everything on one PC. You can achieve the same with multiple PC's like many security oriented people already do.
He's sceptical at the very least. Abs he's right to do so. Information is the new currency so even if they're not sharing it with government agencies, they could still be using it for marketing to boost their sales
I'm pretty surprised open bsd isn't on the list. If you install it you have no network access at all, everything is blocked and you have to manually unblock every port.
For me the main issue with cubes was the amount of ram you need to operate it. As I remember, 16 GB should be minimum, when you run some apps parallel.
Yes, but Windows let's others see what's in your pants while you drive. All the cops *need* to see while I'm driving is that I'm awake and using my seat belt, they don't need to know if I'm wearing underwear or how much money is in my wallet. If you are fine with everyone knowing that much about you, you're hiding something REALLY deep and dark.
My wife asked me why I was whispering at home. I said I was worried that Mark Zuckerberg was listening. She laughed. I laughed. Alexa laughed. Siri laughed. We all laughed.
Qubes is such a smart pick for privacy and security. It needs a beefy device though. Plus, Whonix, a Debian-based Linux distro that routes all traffic through Tor, works very well in conjunction with Qubes, as Whonix was designed to work best inside a Virtual Machine and Qubes has a focus on those.
I've been involved with computers for years and I'm embarrassed to report that I never heard of these systems. I know Wind Suck, MacShit and Linux but, those other ones.
@@steveforbes8287 Bro has been involved with computers for years but only knows 3 operating systems? Where were you involved with those computers? In the dream land?
MacOS has had windows10 like data collection since 2018. Ubuntu has data collection as well, although not as extreme as the other 2, but it's definitely no longer an option for people who give half a shit about privacy. Tails is a great 'disposable' os, something to use when you want to do something and you want to ensure that nobody can track you down (it's not as simple as it sounds though, tails OS by itself isn't enough for this, it's just a good foundation to start from), but it is not viable as a daily driver. QubesOS unlike tails is viable for use as a daily driver, but it has some major downsides that may keep people off it; first off, due to it's nature of security through compartmentalization, and compartmentalization through virtualization, the OS is designed to run multiple virtual machines to compartmentalize your use, if used correctly it is possibly the most secure operating system in the world. The downside however is that it's very resource intensive, every VM is a drain on your CPU and RAM, so it requires a powerful CPU and a sizable amount of RAM to use effectively, also the VMs have no hardware accelerated video support, this means that watching videos in QubesOS is effectively not really an option, it's just not gonna work, naturally in the same vein, gaming is also not an option and a lot of professional tasks are unavailable as well. QubesOS is for the ultra-paranoid security extremists, it's too much for most users due to it's limitations, it's security without compromise, but unfortunately that lack of compromises also means that the user is not actually given a choice if they are willing to accept such compromises (like enabling hardware acceleration...) and makes it just not a feasible OS for anyone that's not doing extremely sensitive work. I could see something like this used internally by entities like military and spy agencies, but not even the most paranoid government office is likely to be willing to go this far (in fact most of them are not even willing to leave windows :| which is quite the disgrace)
Good advice indeed. Mindset is very important: "it is NOT okay to steal my private information, you should NOT want to be a thief". Say that to everyone especially your government and the Big Tech companies.
Halfway into the video, I was already downloading Tails with the intent to install it onto one of my many empty USB storage devices. It sounds like it'd be a useful thing when out and about and in need of using someone else's machine for a little bit. And plus it shares the name of one of my favorite video game characters so hey, how could I not?
You can do all of this with near any flavor. Difference is these two are baked with these options In. I personaly have 2 systems one on khali for work purposes the second rinung Whonix. My kids are all on discrete family server is SUSE. Few aws servers and some slim linux on a few pies running as proxies distroed throughout town using LSP free wifi. Only thing I need to do now is change my cells over to a linux distro.
Live disk came out with the Linux distro and Tail was just one of many. Both Windows and some MAC OS came later...with live disk capabilities...College students and their research projects....
Tails *is* a Linux distribution. So, calling it a separate OS would be a stretch. Qubes is built on Linux, but of course, with its heavy use of virtualisation techniques, it is more distinct, so, calling it a separate OS might have some justification
Windows 10 is built on the NT kernel so calling it a different OS from Windows XP is a stretch... Your entire line of reasoning is stupid, Linux is the kernel the OS is built on. Your probably running Linux on your phone, it's called Android. Go into "about phone" & it'll say the linux kernel version lol
@@WitchMedusa OK ok, I used "Linux" in the colloquial sense, meaning "GNU/Linux", so not just the kernel, but all the userland as well, which is common to server and desktop distros, but not to android. If you really really want, you *can* of course call tails an OS, but if you refer to it as a (GNU/)Linux distro, then there are no misunderstandings
@@ME0WMERE it is not just about the kernel, it is also most of the userland. Android uses the Linux kernel also but its userland is mostly distinct, so here you could say that it is a separate OS. No so with different GNU/Linux distros
@Matthew Telle wow that was a while ago. Looking back, you're probably right, I really didnt have to do that, I was probably feeling annoyed that day or something
Nice, but isn't routing all network traffic through the Tor network insecure by itself? I read somewhere that the NSA is operating Tor servers, so wouldn't it be a bad idea to route the traffic through Tor then?
@@magnetsec I don't know how to break this to you sir, but I'm afraid you have a case of the horseshits...and I'm afraid it's terminal. Are you sure you don't mean linux from scratch, that isn't exactly the same as writing your own posix compliant network stack, interrupt subroutines, init system, kernel modules and compatibility layers on top of system hardening and philosophies of design, defining user-space etc. That's like 5% at most of what you'd need to design at the minimum
What about hidden services? And, what about the fact that Tor devs know this and are combating it (e.g. with HTTPS everywhere) and are removing bad exit nodes as much as they can?
The video is great, thank you. However I am baffled how this "privacy" thing is so common to hear. People: companies do not effectively save data to see what YOU personally do, they look at what a USER is doing. Most of it is Telemetric data, stuff like uptime, runnig applications, what when and why, but unless you commit crime nobody is really interested what you do. The money (payload) for them is not your personal life, the money for them are for mapping user habits and routines and performance data. Also, don't overrate your privacy because if you completely isolate yourself and follow "Snowden's advice" you pretty much will hate the internet, cuz you are not to login or register any accounts using these OSs, the connection will be painstakingly slow, forget javascript or any dynamic content, forget youtube, you can pretty much browse on old-modem like speeds. True, it will be private that is 100%, but keep in mind that your cellphone and your irl behaviour gives you away in a second, forget bankcards, forget cellphones, forget transfers. Real "privacy" is like when a bankrobber or a spy is hiding. You pretty much shoot yourself in the foot by wanting "so much" privacy. Be safe instead! Use a VPN, used a protected DNS, use protected Proxies, use a strong and known Password manager, like KeePass for offline, or BitWarden for online (open source stuff for transparency), register for ProtonMail for added security for emails. Create long passwords - better even, passphrases - at least 20 characters (I know 10-12 is the jam now but more never hurts, look up enthropy), password lock your computer and devices, refrain from biometric IDs or motives, encrypt them if you can, buy yourself an external authenticator key like Yubikey, and/or use mobile authenticator apps or devices. If you want to pay for extra safety at any of these services, I ran the numbers, expect about 50-100 $ upkeep for your privacy/ month! (VPN, ProtonMail, cloud storage, software licences, Proxy) Or just use free services from Google and enjoy your life. 99,99999% will never have any privacy issues anyway. Just keep your passwords safe and long (20 chars, always different everywhere and use a password manager) and use a VPN. That is already more than what most do. Otherwise the only thing you will ever experience of this "intrusion on your privacy" is targeted ads, which I love because why the hell would I want to buy diapers, when i am not interested and don't need any, I want to be shown stuff I actually might wanna buy. I know people who tell me they want control over their data, but fail to do even the first of the above. Annoying is what this is. Btw, I am working on becoming an IT security specialist, I did a lot of research on the topic, and I may not know everything, but I am not much wrong in what I said. I do the same, so far I never had any problems.
I completely agree. It seems to me like it's just hubris that these people think they are so important that everyone is gonna go after them 😂 Linux users especially use this to act like elitists and look down on everyone for trivial things like this (and I can say that as a Linux user)
GrapheneOS (heavily hardened android) has also been recommended by Snowden in the past for phone users, with the obvious caveat that it doesn't stop the inherently insecure nature of cell services.
Most OS on a mobile network are the strongest generally due not "solely" to the operation system but the overall system design it is running...Network Application Layer.
My suggestion is to use local resources and internet resources separately . Lan networks was more original and interesting way to communicate between close range of the users
I Recommend Windows 10. Installed it on a brand new laptop 3 years ago. I am still waiting for it to finish upgrading. Not a spy in the world that can get past that!!! BTW! anyone interested in buying a laptop. Only been used once...almost...
For 70 years during the Cold War, the One Time Pads (OTP) were unbreakable.. just pen and paper and a block of random letters or numbers and a table to convert.. that’s all… absolutely analog, low tech. They were only “broken” because someone got their hands on the pads. It was mathematically proved to be impossible to decipher in 1949, since it’s an equation with two unknowns, which is mathematically impossible to solve. Sometimes the solution for very high tech problems, are low tech procedures.
Tinfoil Hat Linux (THL) was a paranoid overkill secure OS. It was entirely ecrypted runcode in volatile memory, every module was isolated and hardened, every parameter and input and output between modules was exhaustively filtered and interrogated. Such an ancient (circa-2002) linux distro wouldn't be very useful today, but it was fully opensource and probably inspired systems like TAILS and QUBES.
@@FaQUE-hg5tl Snowden chose to violate his oaths, break the law, give aid and comfort to those who wish to damage the United States ability to protect its citizens. If you believe Snowden did the right thing, go steal sensitive government secrets that harm US Citizens and its interests and move to Iran, Russia or North Korea as well.
How does S address the fact that every BIOS and EFI has in effect its own OS, There is even a separate J chip on every mother board and CPU that watches everything the system does. every peripheral, etc. You really believe it takes 200 megabits to run your mouse ? Drivers used to be 1 to 3k.
You have an excellent point, the BIOS lets you see on your own screen how a chip has enough of an OS to do just that, it is not far fetched to imagine another chip, or perhaps rather a part of one, able to run something that you will never see on your screen, a backdoor for remote entrance...
exactly that is the problem. Since AMD and Intel CPUs evidently were and probably still are compromised, I highly doubt you can ever have true privacy and/or security. I also assume M1 SoCs from Apple have some kind of backdoor built in - as has been discovered with their T2 chips. The inevitable truth is, that there is nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. If 3-letter agencies want to know something about you, they will find out.
Hint: If you use Tails to log into your normal accounts, you’re fucked. Under certain circumstances, you might be identified even while the datastream can’t be read by the NSA as far as we know.
@@ebucz3066 When you're using Google Mail while being in Tor, when you log in to any user account the pattern of accessing data embedded in websites might be connected to you by actors like the NSA. Most Tor users make other mistakes. Don't think you can safely buy drugs or anything there.
@@matusgerbiark3622 bruh, Snowden never went into jail. He flew into Russia where he lives. But his life is probably a jail. He can't leave the country and the Kgb will watch him 24/7
Tails is Debian based, and Qubes is Debian and Fedora based. In other words Linux. So Debian, and Linux _are_ recommended by Snowden after all. Also Qubes might be Linux and open source, but it still uses closed source proprietary blobs. So keep that in mind. Snowden recommended proprietary blobs.
@@techmouse. he doesn't recommend Debian, stop saying bs. You are a Debian user who want to think that you are above the rest of the world and that you can decide of what someone said even if he didn't say it. Being based on something doesn't mean that you are the same thing, so, are far as Qubes is different than Debian and that he never talked about a Debien recommandation, he doesn't recommand Debian. You people wanna think they are so right that you want to lie to yourself by saying that someone you think is a good boy have recommended the things you use.

"The operating systems most people use every day today aren't really geared towards privacy." No, because the OS development companies concerned don't want them to be, they need to access our locations and internet traffic for advertising and commercial marketing revenues, and the odd bit of snooping, it's been like this since the 1980s!!!

The best secure operating systems will boot from a read-only optical disc (CD or DVD), making them completely impervious to malware. If you suspect the system has been attacked, shut down the computer, reboot, and the malware is gone. Unfortunately, most laptop computers being peddled in the last couple of years don't have an optical drive anymore, being nothing more than glorified notebook computers, so you will need to supply an external drive connected via a USB port. The next best thing would be a Flash USB thumb drive with a physical write-protect switch, but they are hard to find in stores and one may need to order it from an online seller.
.it sounded cool to me too, installed and it only to discover that is still Linux. As it was phrased, it looked like is an entirely new OS. the first ones was referred as Linux distributions, but Qubes and Tails, as new operating systems. But at scrutiny you can notice that in the list of components Qubes lists Fedora 10 Debian 32 and whonix. So is not a new OS, but a new linux distribution. And more at th-cam.com/video/s8-B9d7iz1A/w-d-xo.html it mentions that.... apart from popular linux distributions like Fedora and Debian .... and this can be interpreted as admitting that is not a new OS, but an Linux distribution. I do not know if this is deliberate, or just conjecture, but this clip is deceiving. At least, deceived me. Anyway, I wonder if Tails is too a linux.

Great content. And the animation you use are so smooth. Could we hope for a qube os noob guide ? I tried before but it needs specific hardware . Also what is your opinion about parrot os? It has many tools for privacy and comes with apparmor and firejail for security . Thanks.
I must say that the vocalizations of the narrator bring to my mind the iconoclastic director Werner Herzog. It is, in a way as if the great man himself were giving me an assessment of tools to be used in the realm of internet security. I don't need to tell you that to the average person this is both thrilling and soul-shakingly disturbing on a primal, reptile level. Internet security has become the stuff of nightmares to me, and now Herzog haunts my dreams.
you forgot the most important thing, to make sense of running qubes os you need certified or supported hardware. same goes with graphene os, it's useles if the hardware is not certified nor supported.
Uh, last think I heard about Tor was that the various governments' agencies had become the chief purveyors of exit and entry points, meaning that they basically can, working together, find out a lot of stuff that Tor was supposed to shield.
Just because qubes ships with Wine doesn't mean other Linux distros can't run windows programs. Please research more than a cursory glance into the world of linux before spouting misinformation.
@@BellSprout69420 Seems kind of unnesessary to make virtualmachine of operating system which you use to "emulate" software for another operating system. Why not just use an actual windows as the vm for maximum compability.

linux-Parrot Security OS based in Italy is very good for privacy and security. It has an AnonSurv GUI that you can setup to launch at boot which routes all traffic through TOR
Parrot is cool, i use it more than kali, but it's not foolproof out of the box. Also, no matter what distro one uses, they are only as safe as we make them. Parrot, kali, qubes, and many others have great tools for privacy, but if you don't know how to use them, you're screwed. Also, anonsurf is awesome, I like how you can literally just click to change ip.

@@jamesmccarte1609 You're not REALLY private in public, people can video tape you with their phones and you would never know and they wouldn't have to give you permission. Technically when you visit sites that belong to other people you're using their services and there are cookies and other stuff saved. It's an easy choice if you want to be private, don't use them. The only place where you deserve privacy is in your own home. Personally I don't see it as a big issue because I don't do anything on the internet that is illegal. Hundreds of people may read this comment, I don't care. If you do anything embarrassing on the internet like watch naked women or something I don't see why you should be ashamed of that either. You're straight yes? People need to stop feeling so entitled when it comes to privacy, you're using other peoples services for free after all, such as youtube.
I think, this is a great vid. Yet in my opinion a linux distro which makes u comfortable with hardening it should be useful and secure. And if I wanna do some privacy stuffs go on an one-time use OS or a VM. To be safe and secure depends on what environment u are in, I think. Like in my country I don't have to use VPN to download stuffs from torrents. And If ya wanna perform some attacks and don't wanna get logged ur IP then never attack from home that's way more safer than Tor. 😁 What to use... that's the one depends on what environment u are in, what the situation says, how much can u do something before ya get spied, how do u interact with it and so on that's why I love about the four point process, when it comes to security.
there are many new alternatives for sandboxing now tho i keep telling the people that they should sandbox everything but they all go in this "im power user, i know what im doing" vibes you only need one harmful package and your system is gone and open source doesnt make exploits known instantly

Years of collecting search information from its users have made it the best and most used online search engine. Only from Microsoft has this seemingly useless information, it means power and monopoly.

But they are not a cyberpunk company wanting to destroy human freedom together with other companies. They just want a profit. And they do it with the two guys I mentioned up there. What people who defend freedom and free software want (and I'm starting to follow these steps) is not to prevent snoopers from finding their shameful files, they want a world in which we have freedom: look at these four essential points, according to the project GNU: The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0). The freedom to study how the program works, and to adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). For that, access to the source code is a prerequisite. The freedom to redistribute copies so that you can help others (freedom 2). The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). In this way, you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. For that, access to the source code is a prerequisite.

When a corporation says they "Value your privacy" it doesn't mean what you think it means. What they are actually saying is they see a value in violating your privacy. If you ACTUALLY READ a "privacy statement" you'll find it's simply a detailed explanation of all the ways they intend to violate your privacy. Not a list of all the measures they will take to protect it.
Valuing privacy = "let's keep harvesting all your data, but encrypt it so we're not actively doxxing people 24/7 and you can't tell what we're actually harvesting."

Qubes OS runs on systemd, There's a reason why Snowden's comment is four years old.
Lmao, found a Chad here
Qubes is such a smart pick for privacy and security. It needs a beefy device though.
Plus, Whonix, a Debian-based Linux distro that routes all traffic through Tor, works very well in conjunction with Qubes, as Whonix was designed to work best inside a Virtual Machine and Qubes has a focus on those.
I've been involved with computers for years and I'm embarrassed to report that I never heard of these systems. I know Wind Suck, MacShit and Linux but, those other ones.
@@steveforbes8287 Qubes is actually based on Linux, Whonix as well
@@steveforbes8287 Bro has been involved with computers for years but only knows 3 operating systems? Where were you involved with those computers? In the dream land?
i used to run it with a i5-2520m x220 thinkpad with 8gb ram . smoothly enough with 3 vm simultaneously. no that beefy .
Is it really secure using it on a VM though?
MacOS has had windows10 like data collection since 2018.
Ubuntu has data collection as well, although not as extreme as the other 2, but it's definitely no longer an option for people who give half a shit about privacy.
Tails is a great 'disposable' os, something to use when you want to do something and you want to ensure that nobody can track you down (it's not as simple as it sounds though, tails OS by itself isn't enough for this, it's just a good foundation to start from), but it is not viable as a daily driver.
QubesOS unlike tails is viable for use as a daily driver, but it has some major downsides that may keep people off it; first off, due to it's nature of security through compartmentalization, and compartmentalization through virtualization, the OS is designed to run multiple virtual machines to compartmentalize your use, if used correctly it is possibly the most secure operating system in the world. The downside however is that it's very resource intensive, every VM is a drain on your CPU and RAM, so it requires a powerful CPU and a sizable amount of RAM to use effectively, also the VMs have no hardware accelerated video support, this means that watching videos in QubesOS is effectively not really an option, it's just not gonna work, naturally in the same vein, gaming is also not an option and a lot of professional tasks are unavailable as well.
QubesOS is for the ultra-paranoid security extremists, it's too much for most users due to it's limitations, it's security without compromise, but unfortunately that lack of compromises also means that the user is not actually given a choice if they are willing to accept such compromises (like enabling hardware acceleration...) and makes it just not a feasible OS for anyone that's not doing extremely sensitive work. I could see something like this used internally by entities like military and spy agencies, but not even the most paranoid government office is likely to be willing to go this far (in fact most of them are not even willing to leave windows :| which is quite the disgrace)
qubes os are for the privacy extremists doing very sensitive work, be it spies, researchers, hackers or criminals.

Tails *is* a Linux distribution. So, calling it a separate OS would be a stretch. Qubes is built on Linux, but of course, with its heavy use of virtualisation techniques, it is more distinct, so, calling it a separate OS might have some justification
Windows 10 is built on the NT kernel so calling it a different OS from Windows XP is a stretch...

However I am baffled how this "privacy" thing is so common to hear.
People: companies do not effectively save data to see what YOU personally do, they look at what a USER is doing. Most of it is Telemetric data, stuff like uptime, runnig applications, what when and why, but unless you commit crime nobody is really interested what you do. The money (payload) for them is not your personal life, the money for them are for mapping user habits and routines and performance data.
Also, don't overrate your privacy because if you completely isolate yourself and follow "Snowden's advice" you pretty much will hate the internet, cuz you are not to login or register any accounts using these OSs, the connection will be painstakingly slow, forget javascript or any dynamic content, forget youtube, you can pretty much browse on old-modem like speeds. True, it will be private that is 100%, but keep in mind that your cellphone and your irl behaviour gives you away in a second, forget bankcards, forget cellphones, forget transfers.
Real "privacy" is like when a bankrobber or a spy is hiding. You pretty much shoot yourself in the foot by wanting "so much" privacy.
Be safe instead! Use a VPN, used a protected DNS, use protected Proxies, use a strong and known Password manager, like KeePass for offline, or BitWarden for online (open source stuff for transparency), register for ProtonMail for added security for emails. Create long passwords - better even, passphrases - at least 20 characters (I know 10-12 is the jam now but more never hurts, look up enthropy), password lock your computer and devices, refrain from biometric IDs or motives, encrypt them if you can, buy yourself an external authenticator key like Yubikey, and/or use mobile authenticator apps or devices.
If you want to pay for extra safety at any of these services, I ran the numbers, expect about 50-100 $ upkeep for your privacy/ month! (VPN, ProtonMail, cloud storage, software licences, Proxy)
Or just use free services from Google and enjoy your life. 99,99999% will never have any privacy issues anyway. Just keep your passwords safe and long (20 chars, always different everywhere and use a password manager) and use a VPN. That is already more than what most do.
Otherwise the only thing you will ever experience of this "intrusion on your privacy" is targeted ads, which I love because why the hell would I want to buy diapers, when i am not interested and don't need any, I want to be shown stuff I actually might wanna buy.
I know people who tell me they want control over their data, but fail to do even the first of the above. Annoying is what this is.
Btw, I am working on becoming an IT security specialist, I did a lot of research on the topic, and I may not know everything, but I am not much wrong in what I said. I do the same, so far I never had any problems.

For 70 years during the Cold War, the One Time Pads (OTP) were unbreakable.. just pen and paper and a block of random letters or numbers and a table to convert.. that’s all… absolutely analog, low tech.

It was mathematically proved to be impossible to decipher in 1949, since it’s an equation with two unknowns, which is mathematically impossible to solve.
Sometimes the solution for very high tech problems, are low tech procedures.
Tinfoil Hat Linux (THL) was a paranoid overkill secure OS.

How does S address the fact that every BIOS and EFI has in effect its own OS, There is even a separate J chip on every mother board and CPU that watches everything the system does. every peripheral, etc. You really believe it takes 200 megabits to run your mouse ? Drivers used to be 1 to 3k.
You have an excellent point, the BIOS lets you see on your own screen how a chip has enough of an OS to do just that, it is not far fetched to imagine another chip, or perhaps rather a part of one, able to run something that you will never see on your screen, a backdoor for remote entrance...
exactly that is the problem. Since AMD and Intel CPUs evidently were and probably still are compromised, I highly doubt you can ever have true privacy and/or security.

The best secure operating systems will boot from a read-only optical disc (CD or DVD), making them completely impervious to malware. If you suspect the system has been attacked, shut down the computer, reboot, and the malware is gone. Unfortunately, most laptop computers being peddled in the last couple of years don't have an optical drive anymore, being nothing more than glorified notebook computers, so you will need to supply an external drive connected via a USB port. The next best thing would be a Flash USB thumb drive with a physical write-protect switch, but they are hard to find in stores and one may need to order it from an online seller.

Its all obselete.
Backdoors are built into the bios on the motherboard and the CPU.
It will let open a backdoor no matter what OS you run.
Can you have Windows and Qubes on a computer at the same time? Choose to boot up in one or the other.
I use Incognito Mode like a true hacker.
Nothing is free :/ Like in magic , if you want something , you give something .. and yes , it is a witcher reference .
Tails and Qubes are free, completely, no hidden stuff.
I must say that the vocalizations of the narrator bring to my mind the iconoclastic director Werner Herzog. It is, in a way as if the great man himself were giving me an assessment of tools to be used in the realm of internet security. I don't need to tell you that to the average person this is both thrilling and soul-shakingly disturbing on a primal, reptile level. Internet security has become the stuff of nightmares to me, and now Herzog haunts my dreams.
Bring me the child....
Hahahaha, so true! I had to watch it all the way through again after I read your comment
you forgot the most important thing, to make sense of running qubes os you need certified or supported hardware.
same goes with graphene os, it's useles if the hardware is not certified nor supported.
Uh, last think I heard about Tor was that the various governments' agencies had become the chief purveyors of exit and entry points, meaning that they basically can, working together, find out a lot of stuff that Tor was supposed to shield.
I'm really curious to know where you heard that. I've had that suspicion for a bit and want to know if there is actual proof.
Just because qubes ships with Wine doesn't mean other Linux distros can't run windows programs. Please research more than a cursory glance into the world of linux before spouting misinformation.
Got 'eem
correct
So it uses wine prefixes instead of actual windows vms? Shame.
@@luimu it's an actual VM, but it's a fedora VM with a wine prefix
@@BellSprout69420 Seems kind of unnesessary to make virtualmachine of operating system which you use to "emulate" software for another operating system. Why not just use an actual windows as the vm for maximum compability.
Edward Snowden is a modern day hero. Change my mind
exactly from whom do you want to be protected from... nsa, fbi...???
Glowni...
Snowden
This. Its impossible
From criminals or corporations for once? Not sure why you only mentioned gov related organizations, because you can be targeted by criminals or malicious companies easily.
Governments that abuse their citizens & criminals, see China, Thailand, Venezuela among others.
Of this man one can say either supreme good or nothing! The good he has done has opened the eyes of most of the masses in the world, excluding us consecrated ones!
Thanks Snowden, bow and respect!!!
linux-Parrot Security OS based in Italy is very good for privacy and security. It has an AnonSurv GUI that you can setup to launch at boot which routes all traffic through TOR
Parrot is cool, i use it more than kali, but it's not foolproof out of the box. Also, no matter what distro one uses, they are only as safe as we make them. Parrot, kali, qubes, and many others have great tools for privacy, but if you don't know how to use them, you're screwed. Also, anonsurf is awesome, I like how you can literally just click to change ip.

Disconnecting from the internet is an alternative too.
And only pay cash.
No, it's not now that security cams are being put everwhere. Ring even shares private citizens' security cam feeds with the police in many US cities. So even if YOUR shit is totally private, even one of your neighbours may be violating your privacy
@@jamesmccarte1609 It's not that big an issue if you have nothing to hide.
@@DanIel-fl1vc What does the issue of whether I have somethin to hide have ANYTHING to to do with whether ANYONE has the right to invade my privacy without my fucking permission?
@@jamesmccarte1609 You're not REALLY private in public, people can video tape you with their phones and you would never know and they wouldn't have to give you permission.
Technically when you visit sites that belong to other people you're using their services and there are cookies and other stuff saved. It's an easy choice if you want to be private, don't use them.
The only place where you deserve privacy is in your own home. Personally I don't see it as a big issue because I don't do anything on the internet that is illegal. Hundreds of people may read this comment, I don't care.
If you do anything embarrassing on the internet like watch naked women or something I don't see why you should be ashamed of that either. You're straight yes? People need to stop feeling so entitled when it comes to privacy, you're using other peoples services for free after all, such as youtube.
I think, this is a great vid. Yet in my opinion a linux distro which makes u comfortable with hardening it should be useful and secure. And if I wanna do some privacy stuffs go on an one-time use OS or a VM. To be safe and secure depends on what environment u are in, I think. Like in my country I don't have to use VPN to download stuffs from torrents. And If ya wanna perform some attacks and don't wanna get logged ur IP then never attack from home that's way more safer than Tor. 😁 What to use... that's the one depends on what environment u are in, what the situation says, how much can u do something before ya get spied, how do u interact with it and so on that's why I love about the four point process, when it comes to security.
4 point process?
I will choose the OS the government recommends, just to be safe🥰
@nhà độc tài Yang Wen Li You can still choose which OS to use, but they choose what you can see.
lol
hahahahaha good one
there are many new alternatives for sandboxing now tho
i keep telling the people that they should sandbox everything
but they all go in this "im power user, i know what im doing" vibes
you only need one harmful package and your system is gone
and open source doesnt make exploits known instantly
Isn't any OS vulnerable if the computer you're using has Intel ME or AMD's equivalent?
Yes, but difference is difficulty in acquiring information, Microsoft is like giving a key to your house to known criminal, Apple is leaving the key under the doormat and Linux may require a locksmith. As for CPU gateways it would be like, getting inside help form the security company hired to protect your house. Even the recent problems plaguing Intel have not resulted in a large scale threat.

I'm sometimes afraid of what I type into my artwork in Paint because I think Microsoft is watching me...
Use linux, much more freedom
You know, I don't think Microsoft will go through every single file edited in ms paint. They are busy people, they don't have time to search through your useless art work? What information would they find in your artwork, that would prove to be useful to them in ANY way, since most apps already know ur password, face id, fingerprint, IP address, & more? Please tell me, I would love to know.
@@novamc7945 If you want a answer, read this.
Quick answer: information is power. The more information they have about their users, the more power they will have. "what power?", you say. I think there are two types: first, they can sell information about who you are to advertisers, but that doesn't fit with the art work; the second is: monopoly. Look at Google. Years of collecting search information from its users have made it the best and most used online search engine. Only from Microsoft has this seemingly useless information, it means power and monopoly.
And we must not forget that Microsoft works together with American government, which in order to maintain its economic importance on the globe, uses all this information.
And remembering, maybe not even the drawing matters, but its metadata.
Another thing: you will probably ask: "But everything already has information about me". But they are not a cyberpunk company wanting to destroy human freedom together with other companies. They just want a profit. And they do it with the two guys I mentioned up there.
What people who defend freedom and free software want (and I'm starting to follow these steps) is not to prevent snoopers from finding their shameful files, they want a world in which we have freedom: look at these four essential points, according to the project GNU:
The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and to adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). For that, access to the source code is a prerequisite.
The freedom to redistribute copies so that you can help others (freedom 2).
The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). In this way, you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. For that, access to the source code is a prerequisite.
And here I will leave the link to the speech by Georg Christof Florian Greve, founder of the Free Software Foundation Europe. "History and Philosophy of the GNU Project": www.gnu.org/philosophy/greve-clown.html
And remember, saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide, it's like saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say
Plot twist, Edward Snowden is a high visibility plant getting You to use the operating systems 'They ' prefer.
ALEKSANDAR put him 30.000 gowerment top secret, long time ago.
Why he have frequencys since 197.?
what about pureOS? is it a viable alternative to qubes, if your threat model is not high like Snowden's?
If I wouldn't play games than i would definately switch to it
Divine intellectuals use TempleOS
Despite personally thinking these are really good choices, Snowden information is from 2016... Maybe he has new favorites now!
How can you use tails if you want to go on line and browse or is that not it’s purpose?
