I'm currently seeding a rather large experimental Tor/TorK LiveCD (675 MB!). http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/3651803/Tor_LiveCD_-_testing_only.3651803.T... The CD is based on Knoppix and was created using the procedure documented at: http://tork.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/LiveCD The only part of the procedure not fully implemented is 'Removing unnecessary packages'. I drew up a shortlist on the wiki page this morning, so if anyone can think of other worthy removals, please add them there. I understand that without a full diff from knoppix sources the LiveCD is mystery meat and not particularly GPL compliant to boot. I think this is something to address in the medium term, when/if it ever begins to take shape as a serious proposition. I believe the Knoppix sources are available at: http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org/. I have about 40KB/s TX bandwidth on my home connection, so if you manage a full download please continue to seed. Elements of the CD that need some attention: * Firefox - firefox sessions load from tork with pretty much everything disabled. The next version will have Mike Perry's torbutton - which looks like the most sensible way of doing things. I also haven't attempted to strip any plugins yet. * Firewall - just a basic firewall is used. No attempt is made to block outgoing dns requests. Instead these are tracked and reported in a very rudimentary, not-exactly-foolproof way by tork. I guess this comes down to whether an anonymous cd should permit non-anonymous browsing. * Policy on software included. What applications should the CD include? Should the user want/be able to print? Should there be more than one type of CD offered, full featured vs just browsing? * Are there security features that the wiki page doesn't even mention or address? Anyway, be gentle! I'll probably try to create a new and improved version of the CD every few weeks for the next while. -- KlamAV - An Anti-Virus Manager for KDE - http://www.klamav.net TorK - A Tor Controller For KDE - http://tork.sf.net ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
