Do you ship to europe?
Thanks for the video. Another way to go would be to have Whonix, on top of Virtualbox, on top of another Linux OS (say, Parrot or Kali) - all on one USB drive.
Imma wear it to work
Do you ship to El Salvador?

You don't need privacy until you do. When truth becomes illegal, honest men become outlaws.
@@ShadowRequiems id go to that web but it's good to know that I can shake off survilence
This kind of content is why Kenny has so many devoted followers. The concept that so many want to use a more sophisticated OS but aren't as knowledgeable on how to do it, makes these videos a true diamond in the rough. Even I working in the IT field as a Security Consultant never realized that you could get around keyboard loggers by using an on-screen keyboard. 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
He probably means hardware keylogger
Both.

The polarization glasses are the move 😂
Dumb or not so dumb question can u not just buy a stick on polarizer for your screen instead of trying to not destroy pixels
Or just a crappy old TN panel with garbage viewing angles. Although you can't do that on a laptop/handheld.
Very creative deadman switch. It’s impressive.
Thanks, I'm gonna see if I can adapt it to QubesOS. I probably just need to make a script that locks the PC if a USB device get's removed.
@@MentalOutlaw Teach us how to do it Kenny!!! Dead man switches is a must nowadays.
@@MentalOutlaw not a bad idea; though if the system itself got compromised in any way, the script could probably be removed or tampered with, as opposed to the Tails concept of “Oh, the entire operating system and storage drive and RAM and driver support is now suddenly gone; guess I’ll die”
@@MentalOutlawBuskill has an Qubes "implentation"
why don't use a usb killer, propane bottle, and car's baterry on the door @@MentalOutlaw (if you know the video)
Honestly, just having tails around as a secure liveusb for using a sus computer is a perfectly valid usecase. Although I suppose "Don't stick your equipment into a port you don't trust" is valid advice for the electronics world as well.
and women, had too sorry.
@@cjclark1208 Since he mentioned electronics separately, this was implied 🤓
Noo the joke hast been explained........
Owning a tor shirt seems like bad opsec 😂
Nah, we could use the same excuse clueless Gen Z teen girls use when wearing Slayer tees.
"I just like the design."
Relax @rpeetz. Three letter agencies gave us an anonymous network overlay we can fully trust without question. Sure DARPA made a flesh eating robot, but that's not three letters like NRL.
"I love extreme online privacy and security measures, BUT I WOULD NEVER EVER DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL, I SWEAR!!!"
i mean, it's kind of useful to know if something like torrenting becomes extremely illegal or something.
I like being able to have opinions and not have to worry about a shoulder tap. Rocco's Baselisk applies here: what if voicing disagreement with disney movies "female empowerment" becomes considered a hate crime?
I mean, it's very useful if you hold an unpopular political opinion and don't want it coming out on tour background checks. People have gone unemployed for decades after being caught supporting unions, for example
Can't wait until protecting your data and online privacy is itself illegal
For your use,perhaps. Curious you would post this.?
I've learned so much and I still keep learning a lot from you, Kenny. Please don't stop educating the masses.

Why would you want a bomb you psyco. Better get a nuclear reactor or a MiG 😂👌
This is North korea latest ICBM, if you plan on buying it i suggest traveling to North Korea. I suggest researching the Hwasong-18
The Hwasong-18 (Korean: 《화성포-18》형; Hanja: 火星砲 18型; lit. Mars Artillery Type 18) is a North Korean three-stage solid-fuelled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). It is the first solid-fuelled ICBM developed by North Korea, and was first unveiled at the 8 February 2023 parade commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army.[5] Its maiden flight occurred on 13 April 2023.[6][7]
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un first alluded to the development of a solid-fuel ICBM in January 2021 when it was included as part of a five-year arms development plan.[8][9] A static ground test of a large solid-propellant rocket motor was conducted on 15 December 2022 which produced a thrust of 140 metric tons of force.[10] Four 9-axle mobile launchers carrying what appeared to be solid-fuel ICBM models were showcased on the 8 February 2023 parade marking the 75th anniversary of the Korean People's Army. They were carried in canisters to fire the missiles by cold launch to eject them before first-stage ignition to protect the launcher from damage by the exhaust plume. These models were not named in the parade, but they were clearly of a different design than the previous large Pukguksong-5 solid-fueled SLBM.[3][11]
The Hwasong-18 conducted its first flight test on 13 April 2023. The first stage followed a standard trajectory optimized for reaching maximum range, but the second and third stages pulled up into a highly-lofted trajectory; this unusual flight path caused Japan to issue a missile alarm, as during the first stage burn it appeared that the missile could overfly the country. The use of solid fuel makes an ICBM launch more difficult to preempt than previous liquid-fueled missiles, as it does not require hours of fueling and is easier to conceal since it does not require as many accompanying support vehicles.[12][13] A second flight test was conducted on 23 July 2023. North Korean media reported that the missile flew to a range of 1,001.2 km at a maximum altitude of 6,648.4 km for 4,491 seconds (74.85 minutes), giving it the longest flight time and highest apogee of any North Korean ICBM flight to date. Based on these metrics, the Hwasong-18 demonstrated its potential to travel 15,000 km on an operational trajectory, enough to reach anywhere in the continental United States.[4]
All it takes it a little merit circa David Hahn. In b4 Nuclear boyscout merit badges t-shirt.
But, Mr. Outlaw, only criminals need rights.
as evident in place like NY, LA, San Francisco, Chicago and so on, seems like these are the only places where outlaws are guaranteed rights these days😞. unless you're in the UK, it's a criminal's heaven over there 😄🤗.

If you're in an environment where you think a hardware keylogger could be at play, even an onscreen keyboard isn't safe in my opinion. If someone will go out of their way for HW keylogging, I'd assume they're capturing mouse input as well. And with some basic maths (screen resolution, etc), someone could find what keys u click on the on screen keyboard based off your mouse clicks.
wouldn't letterboxing help in that case?
Why does on-screen keyboards use mouse clicks???
Scrambled On-Screen Keyboard?
@@klwthe3rd because its on the screen. You move your mouse to click on the letters. This is useful if your computer's keyboard is broken.
What if you have a touchscreen?? No mouse.@@heroslippy6666

thanks for this banger! staying tuned for the next episode of FOSS cooking 🥶🥶

This is the most common sensical reasonable advice to totally legal activities I've seem posted on a clearn... I mean, UA-cam! Great video
This video was so useful that I'm sure I've been added to a watchlist somewhere.
I never considered hardware based keyloggers. Thank you, Kenny.

It's interesting to see Jayson Tatum have such intricate knowledge on something like this.
does anyone know what t-shirt size Jayson Tatum wears?
Lol ! I thought he looked similar 🤣
This stuff helps a normie like me become computer literate. Helps me to improve my opsec.
Yeah me too
Welcome to the club
@@muhammadscott1488 Still a normie, but hoping to score a job that doesn't pay shite to process a metric ass ton of paperwork only for the executives to blow it on a mid-tier cruise to Alaska.
The internet is lacking clear useful information like this, thx homie
another great video, another position climbed on watchlists
Very informative and well explained, thank you.
Do you have any recommendations on secure smartphones? I've looked up stuff like the Pinephone but waiting lists are long and prices quite high.
Thanks, digital privacy is very important
01:45 Capture cards and other visual/optical means aren't the only concern there, would probably be relatively trivial to figure out what was typed by analyzing mouse movement as well. At the very least you might wanna switch to a rarer keyboard layout for the virtual keyboard (DVORAK is probably a bit too common variant I would guess, I'm not sure how many other options there are that don't have most of the alphabet still in the same places though, so I'm not sure what would really be the best option)
I guess the safest would be a random layout every time you open the OSK
I love that you're gaining popularity but I hate what that entails, if you ever make a secondary please make them less enticing so that it doesn't attract attention as much. Love the content!
been waiting for this
I love you.
This video is so awesome that I really can't come up with anything else to say.
I missed it watching more of your videos when you switched to one video a week
But hot damn does this video justify your new policy of posting less content but higher quality videos.
Anyone reading this: think of the children. download this masterpiece and encrypt it into your archives, for when the long arm of alphabet boyz comes to scrape this source of invaluable knowledge from the internet, it will be protected and passed down for the generations yet to come
Bravo, Kenny 👏 👏 👏
Dude that shirt is rad, I'll be buying another via Monero soon
Depending on the laptop model, it might be possible to modify/damage the latch holding the battery in place, which could serve as a sorta boobytrap to power off the laptop in case it's grabbed by someone that's not aware of the modification. Or if you don't care about going fully untethered , you could even take off the battery altogether and run just on the powerbrick (though some batteries don't have a separate lid, so it might be trickier to make this technique not obvious in some cases)
How would that work for a 2-in-1 (either 360 degree hinge or detachable), since those are moved in weirder ways? I'm too clumsy to even consider attempting that, or maybe I'm a coward.
Great idea mate
Would love to see you talk about veilid! Great presentation at Defcon a few weeks ago
I love it when you make actual Linux videos instead of just tech news about Elon Musk or whatever
What about using flatpak for your apps? Flatpak does let you toggle permissions, incl. disabling internet access to the app in question.

What will I do without my Hatsune Miku wallpaper?!? 😭
lifehack:
print an image onto an A4 paper
put a flashlight behind it
put a mirror in front of it
boom you got a blurry slanted 30% reflectance wallpaper projected onto your screen.
Had just watched fireship's video regarding this
Highly recommend that video.
Hey, I found trying to installing a monero node on the persistent volume so difficult that I gave up. Any chance you could cover that please? I'm comfortable with linux but persistency volume with Tails plus the node install drove me nuts.
Edit, I was also fearful of having my wallet on a single nvme. Any suggestions for a mirrored enclosure so if one drive fails my wallet is still safe?
On weekends, I use TAILS to defend against spies who attempt to scan the platters of my hard-disks using S.Q.U.I.D. (Super Conducting Quantum Interference Detectors). Then, when I'm done with the disks, I grind em' up into powder, melt that powder down into liquid, then I dissolve em' in a strong acid bath and dispose of the remains in an undisclosed location...
During the week at work though, I use a mixture of Windows 10, Windows 11, Mac OS-X, and iPhone IOS... The good thing is, I always look forward to and appreciate every weekend!
:P

Please always remain on the side of the people and keep making videos like this. The more detailed step by step the better. Why? Because many who are not tech savy deserve to have their privacy protected as well in this cat and mouse game governments have launched against people to gain more control over literally everyone. There are multiple reasons why user data is valuable to them but it should be our right to be able to say NO and not participate. This is also why Open Source should get even more cred as they contribute to preventing governments spying/collecting data. Privacy is literally a human right so PLEASE take this seriously and keep helping people with videos like this... and thanks for all you have done so far! #gospel+hackingthealgorithm
the polarized glasses thing is something I've actually considered quite heavily because I wear prescription glasses anyways so I have to have a pair of glasses on
I can tell by the comments your videos are starting to attract more and more normies (its me im the normie). Have your ever thought about making a Qubes/Whonix/TailsOS for dummies video where you setup an OS for maximum privacy step by step? Also nother banger video kenny!
For TailsOS you just flash the system into the usb stick then you boot into it, that's it, you are done
Love that fireship like intro
As an average darkweb enjoyer i appreciate this video and i will enjoy applying what iv learned to keep visits to wikipedia more secure😃
There is also the nim programming language. It uses automatic garbage collection and is memory safe and type safe. It transpiles to c, c++ and JavaScript so that you can use the dependencies you already like.
Love yer video. I just did a DarkNet (tails/whonix) and then you and NetChuck dropped em; the little channel squashed. :)
I would love to sit in the library engaging with a white screen and looking like a crazy person 🤣
Would you recommend installing veracrypt and creating a hidden volume withing the persistent storage?
It may be a good idea to use fishing line or something else that is not as easy to see for the USB cord.
I like the Pidgin chat program. It brought me diversity, compared to my other chat programme, the proprietary one.
I started using Pidgin on my Raspberry 2, with the ARM v7a ISA (the ARM A53, at the times of the "Binary Fork") and before Raspian OS. The chat program does what it advertises.
Let's upvote the Granddaddy of Telnet, Mental Zoutlaw..
Btw.
That shirt is woke bro. Lovely.
I love the pun of using a BOOTstrap to physically connect to your BOOT-device.
One thing about the background-image tho: Change it to a meme or general image that mocks hackers, like the Nicolas-Cage "You don't say" meme with a line like "Oh look, a sniffer on the wrong end!", or the Willy-Wonka "tell me more" meme with a line like "Oh you think you can incriminate me? My life must be so much more impressive than yours." or even just the classical trollface, you don't even need a line for that.
To sum it up, Tails first and foremost is still meant mostly for those in countries with heavy Internet restrictions.
Great video, fed. Now how do I remove systemd from TailsOS? It's still not paranoid enough
honey mentaloutlaw uploaded another tails video !!
Excellent video and information
This guy knows his stuff
Hi Mental, I'd like to know what's your opinion on this new Skiff Email that's been getting popular lately. Is it safe?
Thank you, Jason Tatum.
could avoiding shoulder surfing also be done with acessibility tools for blind people ? like on-screen readers
Banger vid
one of those little glinet openwrt travel routers would be good too. they have an option to route all traffic through tor. just make sure you cant ssh or connect to the router from tails, though. using network isolation would be good too, although that might be default option if routing clients through tor im not sure
I use these guides for privacy but at the same time as a reference for writing "hackermen" stuff on fics.
See? I'm not using these guides for malicious intent. GET OFF MY BACK!
Lol
This man said I need a self distruct button. If the concept wasn't so cool, I would be more snarky.
Question so can you not use tails OS off your USB flash drive if you are trying to do so on a mac book ? Im running on the monterey update (excuse if that’s mispelled)! But my issue is that it won’t let me connect to Wi-Fi . Haven’t had much luck with the Waze search up try to do on getting it to work. Any ideas? Or is it just notnpossibke

Haven’t had any luck on anyways to get it to work *

So do you strip all metadata from your videos prior to uploading them or something?
I find it hard to believe youtube doesn't know more about you then the government at this point.
Bro is giving away his OP Sec
feds monitoring me because i literally searched for this an hour ago
I installed TailsOS to prove what a hardcore based Hackermans i am, but my mom found out and confiscated my equipment and grounded me for a month.
I really wonder if running Whonix off a bootable USB (Linux bootable usb, then run both vm off that usb) is a good way to go.
Wouldn't your face basically have to be smashed against the screen to make polarized glasses work?
VLC is also unsafe. All files can be a malware. Videos , audios , texte , excel , pdf. anything.
Media software(VLC, totem) , or production software (word, excel ) are full of vulnerabilities. When they open a file , they'l start reading byte by byte using a library to read binary files.
Often this is where the vulnerability hide.
The hacker will make a specially crafted video file that will use the software vulnerability.
VLC have an extensive network connection feature. A hack can use those features to call home.
This is why all untrusted files should be open into an isolated air gap system.
Beleive it or not , but some audio files can emit inaudible sound that contain a code that can be read by back doored smartphones or Google nest. Some malware can be transmitted by light bulb flickering.
I made a tails stick just out of curiosity and it's pretty cool. It literally wipes everything outside of the persistent storage folder each restart. I use this exclusively now to explore the dark web. Plus it's nice and beginner friendly unlike whonix or qubes. Just flash a USB, plug it in, choose it as the boot device and bam. I just run it on my old as fuck laptop that I'd otherwise toss. Webcam doesn't work anymore either so no worries about that. Not gonna use it on the shiny new framework laptop I'm prob gonna get soon tho.
Also don't mind me Mr. FBI agent! Just browsing for curiosity!
Note: I think VLC is now default on tails now, I'll have to check tho. I haven't used the video player yet but I think I remember seeing the icon.
10:33 Do Yubico security keys use one-time pads? To my knowledge they only offer one-time passwords, which use the same acronym. While one-time pads are so basic that nothing can get through them, they're also incredibly inconvenient because you need tons of randomness and storage, so I wouldn't expect many projects to be built solely around them.
They can store TOTP secrets. Only 32 of them for one key
you saved my boredom with this upload ❤
I wish i understood more of this video than i actually did but its a lil too technical for me. Appreciate your work anyway kenny.
Jayson I love the Tor shirt but I miss seeing you in Celtic green
Any possibility of finding information that mainstream media doesn't like on darkweb?
Is running Monero wallet outside of Tails somehow worse for one's security?
so how would I add burner email and encrypted chat to this? I'm new and don't know anything.
have some script running that tries detecting your face and if it doesn't detect it for more than 12 seconds, it encrypts the usb and wipes your memory, also use polarised goggles or eye contacts because they might be able to still see through you glasses a bit if they go behind you
Buster Hernandez makes me think of the Buster character on Aurther, the kids cartoon/books.
yea something i been seriously concerned with is post quantum encryption
Mentaloutlaw's glowup hits different😅
Hello, I would appreciate help on this matter; Why am I booting through USB to tails - then tries to return to Linux; It takes me to the boot menu Back, and not to Linux? Did I maybe do something wrong?
Very informative, much safe. 🧙♂️
What if the bootloader is infected? buying one of these Laptops can be secure?
