In my opinion it would probably be using Qubes certified hardware with Qubes on it and then routing everything through whonix VM.
Curious to know if anyone has anything else that is more secure than Qubes - I mean like does anyone know what darknet vendors use opsec wise?
Also I heard Snowden used Tails OS when blowing the whistle - so perhaps using tails would be up there.
Computer without any networking capabilities, no external drives, in a secure location. 99% secure (not immune to human error/social engineering).
Extra points if nobody but you knows about its existence.
If you’re asking about OS, Tails is a pretty popular one but I’m sure you’ll get better recommendations (sorry can’t actually help you!).
I vote for TempleOS
Nice option… but I was looking for something that could run on my PET16. This is too powerful for me
Don’t forget to put the computer inside a faraday cage or turn the room into one.
Why? It’s not like it can be wirelessly accessed. Could protect against cosmic rays or whatever I guess.
I think a better addition to the setup I suggested would be hard drive encryption. Just in case.
The creativity of research students shouldnt be underestimated lol, they have found ways to transmit data to cameras, to microphones (inaudible to us), and also by using coil whine in power supplies, all by modulation.
There is the caveat that these usually require the computer to be compromised first though, if it is airgapped
