Hey, I have started to develop an OS for x86 CPUs based around anonymity. Thinking f calling it AnonymOS but I'm open for suggestions. The OS is being coded from scratch so it will be harder for people to port viruses from Linux/Unix or MS-Windows to here. I am posting this here cause Sup Forums was built with anonymity in mind and due to OSes like Windows and search-engines like Google we no longer have as much anonymity. My recommendations for anonymity is use Tor browser for EVERYTHING! Not just deep web but for day to day browsing, a VPN, use search engines such as DuckDuckGo and use a Linux distro such as Debian or Ubuntu. Will post soon to update.
Developing OS For Anonymity
nice. how's work on the logo coming?
Not much has been done in the area of art-work due to the fact that I am not very good at art. IF anyone wants, however, they can design one. Doesn't have to have anything specific, just maybe something like Chrome's Incognito icon.
Anonymity was not what Sup Forums was built around. It was a side effect.
Congrats and all the best though. Best take this elsewhere as these guys are toddlers. :)
asking the important questions
No.59562796 oops forgot to actualy reply to you in my first reply xD I'm quite new to Sup Forums, but I love it
Ffs xD
Thanks man. I mean, I know it was actually started with anime/manga in mind but hey, Sup Forums without anonymity wouldn't be as popular.
Sup Forums (and Sup Forums) being one of the most popular boards, I don't think the anonymity factor plays that big of a deal
>4C
>XD
you're doing a great job though.
I'd be able to design the logo if OP wants
in fact I'll just go ahead and make one
I'll make the logo.
>My recommendations for anonymity is use Tor browser for EVERYTHING!
So basically you're making TailsOS, which is basically Debian.
Also, wasn't DuckDuckGo proven 'botnet'? I heard Disconnect is where it's at. But it doesn't support Google so eh.
startpage is generally the most trusted
Guess you are fucked now that all x86 procs have hardware level exploits.
Ejaculated here to say this
...
Please tell me if you like it. I think it's very basic someone can do better.
>privacy
>x86
You already messed up
searx.me
...
So basically, you're making an operating system on the notion that the entire OS has to be rebuilt in order to make it harder to identify? How does this keep you anonymous?
You need to write in Verilog.
It's the only way to be sure.
Nice try, but you'll never compare to Terry.
shut up, reece
kek
AnonymousOS is a cringey name cause of Anonymous. I wouldnt touch that shit with a 10 foot pole. If you think about adding fawkes mask in there you can go to hell you fedora wearing autist.
DuckDuckGo is a botnet.
If that's what you have so far, why the fuck are you even posting? Everyone who's ever tried to """make""" an OS wrote a simple boot sector and switched to 32 bit mode by loading a gdt. Fucking hell, you don't even have a simple IDT yet, let alone anything even remotely useful. Come back when you've got a proper userspace or don't come back.
Unless you can work around Intel ME then it doesn't matter
Can I see a mock up where the m is a Greek mu? And maybe try playing with the earlier syllables to get something more unique.
It's like no one reads wikileaks.
>using windows 10
>suggests ubuntu
>suggests fucking duckduckgo
Is this bait?

Anonymewous?
fuck this shit, autism and schizophrenia works its way to us in the end.

Well, I don't have any computers with an ARM processor apart from my Raspberry Pi and that is a file most rn.
Its amazing!
No, I'm building it from scratch because it will be harder to port viruses. It will have high encryption for most important data and (Like tails OS) will push all web connections through TOR
and through a VPN
What if the nodes collapse or get seized?
Your a namefag who wants to build an OS based on secrecy.
And you want to call it AnonymousOS which i think is a really bad name because of those "1337 hax0rz" Anonymous.
Like, TailsOS already does the job, no need to waste 3 years doing this shit.
It doesn't matter what operating system you use if the CIA has your router hacked and Intel has a backdoor in your processor.
why not join into one of the efforts already made in building a new OS instead of wasting your time withtrying to do it alone? You'll never be able to manage the complexity by yourself
I think the point is that it isnt linux based so it will be harder to port viruses to it
viruses are a meme
Ok so you've got a bootloader. But how are you going to load your kernel? You can't just fit the image in your 512 byte boot sector.
What format is your kernel going to be in? ELF? flat?
Are you going to implement an ELF loader and other loader utilities in your bootsector? You're going to need a second stage bootloader.
this statement is flawed in my opinion,every line of source code of Linux has been reviewedcountless times by multiple programmers, literally millions of bugs have been fixed. How can you assume only because you do it again you're not gonna make the same or similar mistakes? Writing viruses for the new OS is probably gonna be very easy at first (compared to what i takes to write onefor Linux)
>Developing an OS for anonymity
>On Windows
It'll be a botnet before you compile it, user. Unless you go out and mine all the raw materials yourself, forge a motherboard, processor, ram, etc. yourself and do it all inside of a volcano in less than 3 months (so the heat resistant botnets can't get to it before you're finished) then you're just making a placebo.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
>x86 CPUs
into the trash it goes
...
what are you using then?
ARM?
VIA?
amd64
Start by using a dark theme please
not a bad choice desu
