Whonix 16
Mayank Sharma is a busy man, but when it comes to privacy and security then, like Louis Armstrong, he has all the time in the world.
IN BRIEF
The Debianbased distro is built on the concept of security by isolation. It ships in the form of two virtual machines; an arrangement that helps it create a secure environment shielded from the nasties on the internet.
SPECS
CPU: Any CPU with Intel VT-x or AMD-V Memory: 1GB HDD: 10GB Build: Virtual disk images for VirtualBox and KVM.
Whonix is one of the best privacy-centric distros that does its magic using the concept of security by isolation. It comes in the form of two virtual machines (VM): Whonix-Gateway and Whonix-Workstation. The idea is to isolate the environment you work in (Workstation) from the internet access point (Gateway), which, for added privacy, routes all internet traffic through Tor.
