# TORVM - a perfectly automated TOR VM ## About **TORMV is an installation script to setup a _pretty secure_ Linux VM (debian) for "super anonymous" browsing** (might need to rework that description, but you get it). ## Installation - install VirtualBox for your OS - create a new VM and make sure you have: -- enabled 3D acceleration -- enabled NAT networking - download the current release of debian9 https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/ (take the netinst image) - install debian9 and make sure you do the following during installation: -- partition disk with LVM and crypto (use a long password, possibly a sentence) -- don't allow root login, create an anonymous user account (for example "user") -- unselect everything at tasksel (Desktop installation, print server,...) - finish install and reboot - after reboot, login and sudo su to become root - install git client `apt-get install git` - download installation setup `git clone https://git.home.spale.com/home/torvm.git` - in the VirtualBox VM "Devices" menu, select "Install Guest Additions CD Image..." (needed by the next step) - cd torvm and run `./install.sh` (still as root) - `reboot` - gdm should start after boot and you can then login and follow the setup wizard of enlightenment ## What's in the installer script ? - Install various packages including but not limited to, enlighenment window manager, gdm login, Xorg, redsocks, tor, iptables-persistent, firefox-esr, transmission, unbound, ... - Remove nano, because - mount and compile VirtualBox drivers - copy configured configuration files for unbound, redsocks and iptables - disable IPv6 via `/etc/sysctl.conf` - install a preconfigured firefox profile for all existing users (except root) - delete all .bash_history files and replace them by symblink to `/dev/null` - clean apt cache - stop syslog (temporarly) and delete all files in `/var/log`. ## What's in this firefox profile? - security settings - default search engine set to duckduckgo - disabled saving passwords, history, ... - preconfigured socks proxy (it's still faster than doing REDIRECT in iptables, going over redsocks to finally land in the tor socks5 server) - preinstalled add-ons: -- NoScript (default configuration) -- uBlock Origin (default configuration) ## Should I trust you? - You can check the install.sh yourself or even do all the steps manually, there's really no magic here... - You can simply delete the "user/.mozilla" folder before running installation and it will not install the preconfigured firefox profile
