AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
I want to know which one is the most secure to use for educational purpose. Tails is funded directly by the Tor project. Kali is backed up by the famous Offensive SecuritY, while AttackVector Linux claims to be a compromise between both "While Kali requires a modified kernel for network drivers to use injection and so forth,
TAILS is designed from the bottom up for encryption, and anonymity. Nmap can't UDP via Tor.The intention of AttackVector Linux is to provide the capability to anonymize attacks while warning the user when he or she takes actions that may compromize anonymity. The two projects have different design philosophies that can directly conflict with one another. In spite of this, the goal of AttackVector Linux is to integrate them complementarily into one OS."
I have a Kali, Tails and now I'm downloading AttackVector Linux and I'm confused which one I should install oN my computer, maybe Tails is left out because it is designed for live USB/CD ? Which one do you recommend experts? Is there a way to configure Mint to take the best out of everyone or do I need special expertise to do that?

Well, I'm not an expert, but Kali Linux and TAILS can't be compared. TAILS is for privacy, created to be run from a live-usb and it's for normal users. Kali is for cyber-security experts and for ethical hacking.

Never forget that they're all based on the same kernel.Zorba wrote:I want to know which one is the most secure to use for educational purpose.
Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
I still think that Tails is more secure to browse the web because it is backed up by the Tor project directly and it it built from bottom up for this sole purpose
Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
Using Tor to "encrypt" your identity won't help when malicious pals are directly accessing your computer anyway.

Doesn't Tails use grsecurity? That's something at least./dev/urandom wrote: Never forget that they're all based on the same kernel.
Nope. Shame.
Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
grsecurity? Wasn't that the software with the loads of "critical security fixes" in the mid-2000s? Not sure if that was any better anyway.

Code: Select all
3.0-3.14.4

Past tense, because critical flaws became less in the last few years.
Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
You've linked flaws of grsecurity itself, the last from 6 years ago. So what are you trying to say?
Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
Just wondering if it's worth the additional effort.

I guess it depends on the threats you expect to face.. Skype uses it for its servers.
For the regular user it's a hard balance unless you're on Arch (which has linux-grsec kernels and predefined pax profiles).

Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
Just testing grsecurity on my Arch VM, wondering how those "jails" work (given that I know how they work on FreeBSD). Thanks for the hint anyway.

Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
I am using Manjaro as dual boot with Mint. Manjaro as you know is based on Arch. Does that mean I am using a linux-grsec kernel under Manjaro ?Previous1 wrote: For the regular user it's a hard balance unless you're on Arch (which has linux-grsec kernels and predefined pax profiles).
Need a confirmation for peace of mind coz Manjaro doesnt have selinux or apparmor.
Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
Estimate: AttackVector never I have used it, so can not comment. Tails Linux and Kali Linux are really excellent at what they do..... I just do not like about Kali is the desktop environment (based on Gnome 3 - Gnome 3 fallback mode). Tastes are tastes.....
By the way, if you want something like Kali Linux, but with XFCE desktop without a doubt recommend you BackBox Linux (I've tested, and it works great too). That's right: Kali Linux is based on Debian, BackBox is based on Xubuntu.... Have fun (but healthy ) Best Regards.-

Re: AttackVector Linux VS Tails Vs Kali
Manjaro is to Arch what Ubuntu is to Debian, you can't guarantee what works in one works in the other. However, you can try following the instructions here:linux_rules wrote:I am using Manjaro as dual boot with Mint. Manjaro as you know is based on Arch.
