[qubes-users] QUBES 3.2 taskbar icons are useless - they only show padlock icon
In QUBES 3.2, the taskbar icons don't show the application icon. They only show a padlock, coloured in the colour of the VM. Google Chrome doesn't show the Chrome logo. It just shows a padlock. This makes it very hard to actually open a window, because I have to go through loads of them to even find the right window.

[qubes-users] Will SLAT / EPT truly make QUBES 4.0 more secure..?
Based on 2 Xen exploits in just the last 1 year, QUBES 4.0 is moving over to using SLAT / EPT for memory isolation, and to using HVM/PVH rather than PV. Certainly, in the last 2 Xen exploits, it has only affected PV and not HVM. However, is it possible that using Intel's EPT is even riskier..? Intel ME is said to be insecure by Joanna Rutkowska due to its insecure implementation, and not being able to look at the code, because it is closed-source. Well, couldn't the same be said for Intel's EPT..? Surely this is closed-source too..? No..? At least with Xen, we can actually see the code and fix the bugs, whereas surely with Intel we have no chance.

[qubes-users] Question about Whonix / Tor Browser / exploits
I have a question about Whonix/Tor Browser exploits. I have played around a bit with Metasploit to see how browser exploits work. They basically rig a web page with exploits, and then it does what's known as "arbitrary code execution", to open up a "remote shell". As far as I can tell.. the remote shell is running in the browser's RAM. They are essentially hi-jacking the browser's RAM, and using it to run their own remote shell. The hacker then usually loads a file from the remote shell, onto the computer's hard drive, in order to obtain persistence... As soon as the browser tab closes, the remote shell is gone, hence why they need persistence. So my question is about persistence. Is it possible to simply remove the hard drive altogether from Whonix, to prevent them achieving persistence...? I know that TAILS simply doesn't have a hard drive at all. Would this be useful to have in Whonix..? To remove the hard drive altogether, perhaps in VM Settings in QUBES...? Or is it possible to run a Xen exploit purely in the browser's RAM anyway...? Thus, they don't even need a hard drive because they can just run the exploit in RAM anyway...? So the main question is really whether they can run the Xen exploit in RAM anyway or not If not, then surely removing the hard drive itself would be useful...? Hopefully you understand my question. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Question about Whonix / Tor Browser / exploits
So you're saying that you can run an entire Xen exploit without installing anything to the hard drive at all... Just purely run it in the RAM itself. Wow. And what do you think about Selfrando..? Is this going to fix browser exploits once and for all, or will it just fall to hackers..? https://blog.torproject.org/blog/selfrando-q-and-georg-koppen "Selfrando randomizes Tor browser code to ensure that an attacker doesn't know where the code is on your computer. This makes it much harder for someone to construct a reliable attack--and harder for them to use a flaw in your Tor Browser to de-anonymize you." http://news.softpedia.com/news/tor-browser-integrates-tool-to-fend-off-deanonymization-exploits-505418.shtml "While ASLR takes code and shifts the memory location in which it runs, Selfrando works by taking each code function separately and randomizing the memory address at which it runs.

Re: [qubes-users] What exactly is stored in an App VM backup..?
OK, that's really nice to know that startup scripts are not saved. Really nice. The thing about having to shut down the VM is still annoying though. The other thing is, the progress bar for Qubes backups is very bad.. It stays at 0% for a long time, and then hours later, gets to 100%... There is not the kind of progressive movement that lets you know how long this is going to take. Apart from that though.. at least it's secure.

Re: [qubes-users] What exactly is stored in an App VM backup..?
But presumably this private.img is going to include things like: folder: /etc/init.d/ file: /etc/rc.local things like this, which are used to do start-up scripts. So anyone who hacked the VM might place some start-up scripts which link to malware stored on the machine. So these are going to be backed up by the Qubes backup system. This is why I thought it would be better to use an internal Fedora system to do the backup. Doing this would also prevent you from having to shut down your VM in order to do the backup, which is a drain on productivity. --- Or am I wrong here..?

[qubes-users] Question on SECURITY of WHONIX VM
I have a question about the security of Whonix, which is used as the Tor VM in QUBES 3.2. My question is... we know that the Tor Browser can be hacked, mainly based on Firefox exploits. So it's very possible that when I'm using Whonix, the Tor Firefox browser gets hacked. So when this happens, and I restart the Whonix VM... is the hack now gone, or is it persistent..? In other words, does the App VM load the browser itself from the Whonix template...? Or, does the browser itself reside in the App VM..? Presumably, if the browser is in the App VM, then the hack is persistent, and I would have to create the App VM all over again in order to clean it up. But if it's in the template VM, then it's wiped clean whenever you restart the App VM. Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

It may be possible that I'm following the EUFI guidelines incorrectly. Replace existing Qubes entry with modified one.

[qubes-users] Question about the SECURITY of backing up QUBES.
I have a question about the security of backing up QUBES. I see that the VM backup procedure lets you back up both template VMs and App VMs, as well as dom0. The question is... let's say that we find out about another Xen escape, like the one from October 2015. At this point, surely we now the consider that the entire system was compromised. So let's then say that we download an entirely new version of QUBES, and upgrade to the latest Xen before doing anything else. What is then the backup procedure for templates and App VMs..? Surely this means that it's not safe to restore the backed up VMs.. seeing as they were present on the old compromised machine?

Is it possible that someone who compromised QUBES, could re-write the AppVM in a way that whenever it is loaded up, it re-infects the entire system all over again...?

[qubes-users] Re: Does anyone use a dedicated Tor router box..?
Qubes is insecure due to Xen exploits. Qubes tends to quickly patch the exploits, but we know how it works in the real world... nation states and other people buy up the exploits before they can get to the market. I would also suggest that if you are using Qubes, this may even be a flag at somewhere like the NSA to target you for surveillance. I could be wrong, but see the NSA Snowden documents mentioning "extremist" Tails OS. So if you assume that simply using Qubes puts you on a nation state's attention list... then, at this point, the question is.. do you think the NSA has Xen exploits before everyone else finds out about them...? Considering that Snowden is literally advertised on the Qubes home page, I would suggest the answer is "Yes" The NSA is now very likely spending money buying up Xen exploits and developing them themselves. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Does anyone use a dedicated Tor router box..?
Does anyone use a dedicated Tor router..? The theory is, Tor is secure, but Firefox is not. Therefore, you have 1 computer that runs Tor only, and a WiFi hotspot... Another computer runs Firefox and any other programs. So long as the other computer connects to the Tor computer for network access, it doesn't matter if it gets hacked, because your real IP address never leaks. Qubes implements this somewhat by separating the Whonix Net VM and App VM. However, the problem with Qubes, of course, is all the Xen exploits which make it insecure. If you were hacked in Qubes, the hacker could easily then leak out your real IP address. But if you were hacked behind a physical Tor box, your real IP can never leak, unless the Tor box itself can be compromised... And as far as we know, there are no exploits for the Tor network itself, only for Firefox. I would use Qubes for the Tor box and the other box, if only for the VT-D protection, although maybe there are other free Linux OSs that have VT-D protection. What do you think...?

Re: [qubes-users] Why are Ethernet and WiFi in sys-net..?
I guess the only other thing I would add is. With Firefox, you have a page "Security Advisories", which lists the history of Firefox exploits. I wonder if such a thing exists for WiFi drivers + firmware. Or even a list of any major audits of WiFi drivers + firmware. If there is some really easy way to see which WiFi devices are the most secure. Something like "security advisories", but for WiFi devices. But I guess if no eyeballs are even looking at the code, then no one will find any bugs. Ultimately, what's needed is a Truecrypt-style major audit. If we could crowd-fund an audit of a major WiFi chip(s), that may be the key. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Why are Ethernet and WiFi in sys-net..?
And yes, by all means, I will use Whonix's system rather than my own custom script. I originally created my own, because I saw that Whonix didn't have VT-D. But then I learned that VT-D is nowhere near as good as I thought. I originally thought VT-D isolates the devices from the Net VM itself. But in fact, VT-D only keeps the devices inside of Net VM... and the security of Net VM itself is still dependent on Xen. So... yes I will definitely look into using Whonix for this rather than my own script. But just to re-iterate my previous question.. do you think Ethernet is any more secure than WiFi.

[qubes-users] Set different NetVM for dom0
How do I change the NetVM used by dom0..? I have sys-firewall as does everyone. But I actually set up a new NetVM a while back, and sys-firewall no longer works for me. Call it "NetVM2". So I want to set the NetVM used by dom0 to "NetVM2", or whatever replace "NetVM2" with the name of the NetVM.

[qubes-users] sys-firewall no longer works after creating new Net VM
I created a new Net VM, in order to use Debian, and it works fine. But now I want to revert back to sys-net. The problem is that my sys-firewall no longer works. How do I get sys-firewall to work again? It starts up fine, but simply doesn't work. Other App VMs are not getting data through it.

Re: [qubes-users] Failed to add USB controller to App VM
OK, this seems to be what I need. One further question... https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/dom0-tools/qvm-prefs/ " pci_strictreset Accepted values: True, False Control whether prevent assigning to VM a device which does not support any reset method. Generally such devices should not be assigned to any VM, because there will be no way to reset device state after VM shutdown, so the device could attack next VM to which it will be assigned. But in some cases it could make sense - for example when the VM to which it is assigned is trusted one, or is running all the time. " --- So... if you were to shut down and restart your entire computer (not just VMs), would the device state be reset to a safe state...? Or is this just going to make it unsafe forever..?

[qubes-users] Re: Switch of DMA altogether..?
Presumably through the CPU. We know this option exists for hard drives for a facts. So I see no reason you couldn't get Ethernet + WiFi chips without DMA. Not all devices support switching off DMA, so I can see why Qubes decided to use VT-D + Xen instead. But certainly, I think there are devices out there without DMA. I think you just need to search the market for a Ethernet/WiFi that supports non-DMA. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Switch of DMA altogether..?
DMA allows network card to read/write RAM. DMA attack allows one already-compromised VM to read the RAM of another VM, thus breaching Qubes isolation... unless you use VT-D, although flaws in VT-D have been shown. Remote DMA attack allows packets sent to the network card directly over the web, not even having to compromise your VM first... as demonstrated in the paper by the French intel agency. That is what I understand so far. Hence, why I am asking if using PIO rather than DMA would prevent such attacks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Switch of DMA altogether..?
Qubes uses VT-D and a Net VM to attempt to isolate buggy WiFi adapters from the
rest of the Qubes system.
But this isolation still depends on Xen not having bugs... And we know that Xen
has bugs, and will likely continue to have more going forward.
So, instead of VT-D, why not just switch off DMA altogether..?
In Debian, you can edit "/etc/hdparms.conf", and do stuff like this:
/dev/hdc {
dma = on
}
Why not just do this for WiFi and Ethernet chips in Qubes, and thus, not have
to rely on Xen for isolation?

[qubes-users] Re: How to attach Ethernet to a VM other than sys-net..?
Alright. I came to the conclusion that this is all a waste of time. A hacker (especially nation state) would hack your main home router. Then hack your endpoint laptop. Then they can see that both are connected to a dedicated Tor router in the middle, through its MAC address or other identifier, such as device name. So they can see that both are connected to the same dedicated Tor router, and thus, they can see who you are that way. So unless you are confident that you can secure your main home router, then this idea of a dedicated Tor router is hopeless. You would be better off using a QUBES live disc and ONLY use Tor from the very start. As the internal NSA Snowden documents say, "one page request" is all it takes to hack you.. but note, they can only do this page request if you are actually connecting via your real IP address. Therefore, use a QUBES live disc, use TOR ONLY (never mix it up with clearnet), and make sure your BIOS is freshly installed, and then just cross your fingers and hope you don't get hacked while using Tor browser. By all means, use NoScript etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Yeah, Joanna is seriously epic. How about Raspberry Pi..? That seems to have very few components. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: Detach a USB mic from sys-usb into dom0
OK, here is the solution. I solved it myself. You install "pavucontrol" in the internal VM. Then ,if you look at it, you will see that the USB mic is actually detected automatically. So in fact, no need to detach anything, or disable any USB qube. You just simply install "pavucontrol" inside the App VM. The USB mic doesn't show up in dom0's pavucontrol But it does show up in pavucontrol of the internal VM Solved. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] What is the purpose of sys-firewall..?
What is the purpose of sys-firewall..? I noticed that every App VM has its own "Firewall Rules" inside of VM Settings. So therefore, what is the purpose of sys-firewall..?

[qubes-users] Why are Ethernet and WiFi in sys-net..?
Simple question: Why are Ethernet and WiFi in sys-net..? Is it (A) Just for easy access to the same network for all App VMs..? (B) Because this is isolating Ethernet and WiFi from the rest of the system, to stop DMA attacks..? It's not clear to me whether the VT-D protection is occurring because you are putting these devices in sys-net. Or whether the VT-D is implemented regardless of which VM the Wifi/Ethernet are in. I ask this because I want to run some programs in sys-net, and wonder whether a DMA attack could screw up these programs.

Re: [qubes-users] Why are Ethernet and WiFi in sys-net..?
OK, it's the original poster here. The consensus so far is that anything I run inside sys-net should be vulnerable, and that it is advised not to run programs in sys-net. So, in this case, how am I supposed to run my Ethernet Tor hotspot..? I had somebody write me a script that lets Qubes connect by WiFi to my home router, and then serve out an Ethernet hotspot that runs everything through Tor. The program works fine, but yes, it does run within sys-net. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] A computer with read-only firmware..?
Does anyone know of any computer that has read-only firmware..? I'm talking, just about anything that could have a virus written to it. Stuff like 1. BIOS 2. GPU 3. Ethernet 4. Mouse 5. Keyboard etc I want this system because then if it is infected, then all I need to do is wipe the HDD and then it's clean again. Ideally the system should only have HDD as persistently writable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Would USB Ethernet be more secure than WiFi..?
There is talk that Ethernet is more secure than WiFi, due to the complexity of WiFi. So, my laptop only has WiFi. If I were to remove the WiFi chip, and use a USB Ethernet adapter, do you think that would be more secure..?

[qubes-users] Failed to add USB controller to App VM
I am using Qubes 3.2 rc2 I need to use an external USB WiFI device.

[qubes-users] Screen recorder for Qubes..?
I see that dom0 has a screenshot tool, but how about a screen recorder tool..? I.e. one that would record video. Sound is not needed, but I certainly need to record many screenshots per second..

[qubes-users] A list of computers that do not "hold state"..?
Does anyone have a list of computers with no writable firmware..? If you get hacked, hackers can deeply infect the BIOS, GPU, WiFi and other components that "hold state". Then, even if you wipe your hard drive after getting infected, you can still just get re-infected again, due to the deep firmware infections. The Raspberry Pi is an example of a device that does not "hold state". Every component on the Raspberry Pi has its firmware and drivers loaded in from an SD card. Thus, if you wipe the SD card, you have truly wiped the device, and can be sure that it is totally clean. Does anyone have a list of similar devices to the Pi, that do not "hold state" on ANY of the components...?
