How disposable Virtual Machines can keep you safer by quarantining suspicious files/attachments
QUBES DISPOSABLE WHONIX VM: HANDLING SUSPICIOUS FILES / EMAILS
Watch on these alternative platforms
Video Summary:
Qubes is a Linux Operating System based around the concept of Virtual Machines (like multiple computers you can switch between) making full use of compartmentalisation.
Compartmentalisation allows you to take control of your digital life and is what the 10 Steps to Escape the Digital Prison is also based around.
Qubes is the Operating System used and recommended by Edward Snowden (NSA whistle blower)and seems to be the ultimate privacy Operating System
This is why I am interested and about to start build my own Qubes system.
Most people are not ready to switch to an Operating System like Qubes, but for those interested this video will give you a glimpse at what using and managing the Qubes privacy operating system is like.
Video Notes:
Among The Most Common Successful Attack Methods Are Spear Fishing Emails, & Will Likely Come For You Too (at some point). Are You Sure Emails Are Safe? Watch To Find Out How To Open (Potentially) Malicious Files / Emails Without Destroying Your Computer
Qubes provides a highly isolated environment via a foundation of various “Qubes”, or virtual machines (VM). Disposable Virtual Machines allow you to risk single disposable VM, without the entire operating system being at risk. After you are finished with a given application inside a disposable virtual machine, that VM self destructs, and no malicious actions are saved.
On another level, malicious links may normally reveal your IP address, and cause you to connect out in a malicious way. To mitigate ip leaks, we can take advantage of Whonix disposable VM.
