Protection from Targeted Malicious Updates

Kicksecure update servers know neither the identity nor IP address of the user because all upgrades are downloaded over Tor.

Kernel Self Protection Settings

Kicksecure uses strong Kernel Hardening Settings as recommended by the Kernel Self Protection Project (KSPP).

Time Attack Protection

Kicksecure defeats time attacks on its users through Boot Clock Randomization and secure network time synchronization using sdwdate.

No Open Ports by Default

Kicksecure provides a much lower attack surface since there are no open server ports by default unlike in some other Linux distributions.

CPU Information Leak Protection (TCP ISN)

Without TCP ISN randomization, sensitive information about a system's CPU activity can be leaked through outgoing traffic, leaving it vulnerable to side-channel attacks. tirdad prevents that.

Available for many virtualizers

With support for multiple virtualization options, trying out Kicksecure is easy. VMs also help contain and prevent the spread of malware.

Vibrant Community

Our vibrant community features Forums, Contributors and RSS.

Based on Debian

Kicksecure is based on Debian, one of the most reliable Linux distributions.

Digitally signed releases

Downloads are signed so genuine Kicksecure releases can be verified.

Warrant Canary

A canary confirms that no warrants have ever been served on the Kicksecure project.

Swap File Creator

Running low on RAM isn't a security problem with swap-file-creator. It will create an encrypted swap file.

SUID Disabler and Permission Hardener

SUID Disabler and Permission Hardener enhances system security by strengthening the isolation of Linux user accounts and more.

Brute Force Defense

Kicksecure protects Linux user accounts against brute force attacks by using pam faillock.

Strong entropy is required for computer security to ensure the unpredictability and randomness of cryptographic keys and other security-related processes. Kicksecure makes encryption more secure thanks to preinstalled random number generators.

Live Mode

Booting into Live Mode is as simple as choosing Live Mode in the boot menu. After the session, all data will be gone.

Based on Linux

Linux is highly reliable, secure, free and open source. That's why Kicksecure is based on Linux.

Onion Website Option

Our website offers an alternative onion version. This offers a higher connection security between the user and the server.

Risk Minimization

AppArmor profiles restrict the capabilities of commonly used, high-risk applications.

Strong Linux User Account Separation

Linux User Account Separation is not always a given on Linux systems. In Kicksecure it is.
