Tails

#1 Updated by Diki 2016-12-17 23:41:13

Hello,

If you check trafic between the Host machine and the virtual machine while Tails start, you will see security vulnerabilities.

Normally we should see that TLS traffic for the Tor network, but that is not the case ! I was able to detect network attacks. I think these network security flaws seriuosly impacts the startup of Tails. I have also seen in the Tails logs redundant anomalies causing several times the restart of several processes.

I have already transmited these facts with screeenshots to the Tails Administration. I got an evasive response… In summary, Tails asks me to reproduce the attacks I detected…

In conclusion, I think that the Tor network is compromised.

Best Regards.
Diki

Hello Diki,

Thank you for these precious information..
So,the use of virtual-machine should be really reconsidered ?

If the Network is compromised too => there is non-sense to use it anymore..

It should be seriously audit!
I’m gonna edit the post in “high Priority”

> First of all, it is very likely that you were infected, through the use of Tails, by the virus called “DhcpNameServer”. I did the test at home, and when I eradicated “DhcpNameServer”, the start of Tails is normal again.

This ticket is about a problem on Linux (virt-manager), so I don’t think that this virus thing applies.

This is off-topic on this ticket.

" For using Tails launched in virt-manager with an external USB-stick.
This doesn’t work anymore since 2.9.1."

I use “VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PRO” and I have no problem to use one USB Live Tails 2.9.1

What operating system / version are you using?: Host machine: WIndows 8.1 Pro

“What’s the output of sudo aa-status?”: ? sudo aa-status?

“Please try other versions of the (virtual) USB adapter assigned to the VM. In particular, try the USB 3.0 (xhci) one.”: I use already USB 3.0 for Live Tails 2.9.1. I have no problem.

Which is why this is off-topic here: VMWARE has nothing to do with virt-manager :) My questions were for the bug reporter.

VMWARE is not the subject I explain just under which platform of virtualization I was able to highlight the detection of attacks especially Ddos at the start of Tails. Obviously you did not understand the problem I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Please report that problem as a new, separate problem, since it is off-topic on this ticket.
