Prepare VirtualBox link update script for review[edit]

Date: 2024-10-25

Replaced custom Python script with str_replace, added wiki editing capabilities, placed in developer-meta-files. Tested live by using https://www.kicksecure.com/w/index.php?title=Testpage&stable=0, code seemed to work as intended. Code has been given to Patrick to review, it should be tested more thoroughly before being deployed in production.

More polishing of derivative-maker live-build builds[edit]

Date: 2024-10-25

Finally got the ISO to build again. Detection of kernel parameters is done using grub-mkconfig rather than direct configuration file parsing, user creation is done by dist-base-files as previously, apt list files are correct and are handled by anon-apt-sources-list and repository-dist. Some changes were needed to individual packages, and there are still some issues (notably the user is created without sudo privileges due to a mistaken rm I added that was cleaning up a file too early). However, this is much closer, and I expect to be able to publish the code I have locally relatively soon.

2024-10-23[edit]

Continue polishing derivative-maker live-build support[edit]

Date: 2024-10-23

Attempted to fix up kernel parameter autodetection at ISO build time, user account creation method, and apt configuration files. Also switched to multi-stage live-build rather than using lb build directly. I did not manage to get a working ISO before the day was over, however I made significant progress on it and believe that the revamped code should be able to produce working ISOs soon. Updated code will be published once it can successfully build an ISO.

Prototype automatic URL updating code for VBox links[edit]

Date: 2024-10-23

Wrote a prototype implementation for https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/todo#automate_VirtualBox_version_update_in_the_wiki that can read from VirtualBox's download page, read from the Wiki, determine if the Wiki's VBox URL is up-to-date, and update it if not. Currently it does not update the Wiki itself, but instead prints out the text it would write. Needs some internal polish (specifically it should use Kicksecure's str_replace) and needs the actual Wiki write functionality implemented, then it should be ready to use.

Polish derivative-maker live-build support[edit]

Date: 2024-10-22

Attempted to fix several issues with the live-build ISO prototype. This led to discovering a major bug in live-build that made it very difficult to set environment variables properly. Bug report at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1085869. Also discussed future live-build tasks and design with Patrick.

2024-10-21[edit]

Finish derivative-maker live-build support prototype[edit]

Date: 2024-10-21

Got the live-build code to build an ISO without errors. Also fixed ISO GRUB screen branding. Remaining TODOs are noted down in https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/todo#ISO_-_port_to_live-build and related tasks. derivative-maker prototype code is located at https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/derivative-maker/tree/arraybolt3/live-build. live-build fork needed for build is located at https://salsa.debian.org/ArrayBolt3/live-build/-/tree/arraybolt3/lb-dracut?ref_type=heads. live-config-dist fork needed for installability is located at https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/live-config-dist/tree/arraybolt3/live-build.

Also tested building Kicksecure on Kicksecure using live-build. This worked perfectly - no changes needed to be made to the prototype code to allow the build system to function properly.

2024-10-20[edit]

Integrate live-build into derivative-maker[edit]

Date: 2024-10-20

Added the ability for derivative-maker to run live-build to generate an ISO rather than using the usual ISO generation steps. I did not manage to push the derivative-maker changes to Git yet because I ran into a large number of bugs in the process (remote and local repo conflicts, random SIGPIPE errors making true exit non-zero, incompatibilities between my live-build local repo implementation and reprepro, etc). Most of these issues are now resolved. I fixed the local repo handler in live-build to work with reprepro repositories. Fix in commit https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/369/diffs?commit_id=eb1813e7bd211373060152a8bde140301576756c.

Polish configuration interface for Qubes OS event buffering[edit]

Date: 2024-10-20

At Marek's suggestion (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-gui-daemon/pull/149#issuecomment-2421005914), I renamed ebuf_max_delay to events_max_delay in the configuration for qubes-gui-daemon. I also had to rebase my changes to qubes-gui-daemon to the tip of main since other code had been changed since I opened the PR. The code change was tested and verified to work.

This took significantly longer than expected because I had to fix updates on Qubes R4.3 (turns out they don't work right out of the box), then was unceremoniously dropped to a Dracut emergency shell upon reboot because apparently my Qubes installation's root filesystem decided to become slightly corrupted and needed a manual fsck to fix. I did manage to get the system back up-and-running thankfully, and did the work mentioned above once my system was back to functional.

2024-10-19[edit]

Fix pam_faillock unlock on reboot or timeout[edit]

Date: 2024-10-19

Determined why pam_faillock was automatically resetting the tally on reboot and fixed it. Also kept it from resetting due to a timeout to the best of my ability (although due to limitations in pam_faillock this could not be done perfectly). Commit: https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/security-misc/commit/690e8dd826d1cb39c0c12c03792781862cc2dd23

Note that this does NOT fix the issue where the use of passwordless sudo resets the tally. This may require assistance from upstream, and investigation into that is still ongoing.

2024-10-18[edit]

Debug pam_faillock[edit]

Date: 2024-10-18

Kicksecure uses pam_faillock to provide bruteforcing protection for user account passwords. Unfortunately the existing PAM configuration allowed the tally and lock to get reset in multiple unintended ways. The root cause of this was determined and a proof-of-concept fix developed, however a deployable fix has not yet been determined. One of the problematic scenarios has a bug filed in linux-pam for it: https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam/issues/842

2024-10-17[edit]

Further improvements to Kicksecure live-build[edit]

Date: 2024-10-17

Wrote another patch for live-build and attempted to upstream it, this allows us to set --error-on=any on apt update calls within live-build. https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/371 Tested it and it appears to work. Also tested a bunch of additional options Patrick suggested using, which removed more unnecessary packages and improved the build process. Also documented that the custom fork of live-config-dist is no longer necessary.

2024-10-16[edit]

Fix up package installation on Kicksecure live-build[edit]

Date: 2024-10-16

Fixed a couple of very annoying bugs in the live-build code for Kicksecure. There were a bunch of weird firmware files and display drivers getting installed incorrectly, which now no longer get installed, and the user had to explicitly confirm that they wanted to remove a bootloader package at one point during the build, which they now no longer get prompted for. I also got a merge request made for mmdebstrap support in live-build, which is visible here: https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/370

Additionally, I dug up the old live-build code from derivative-maker and extracted the core lb config command from that. This may be useful for future work on live-build.

At this point the ISOs being produced using live-build are of a reasonably high quality, and I believe it is time to get the live-build fork I've been using integrated into Kicksecure's Git repos and start using it as the default framework for ISO file generation in derivative-maker.

Rework Qubes OS event buffering pull request[edit]

Date: 2024-10-16

See https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-gui-daemon/pull/149. Implemented all requested changes from all reviewers, rebuilt qubes-gui-daemon and qubes-core-admin-client with changes, and tested on Qubes OS R4.3. Another round of review has been requested.

2024-10-15[edit]

Implement mmdebstrap support in live-build[edit]

Date: 2024-10-15

Implemented and tested live-build mmdebstrap support. Code is visible at https://salsa.debian.org/ArrayBolt3/live-build/-/commit/0a8559b9d456a93284e726521a33f342ab469f8b. MR has not yet been opened against live-build upstream because of Debian infrastructure issues.

Create live-build local apt repo MR, more live-build debugging[edit]

Date: 2024-10-15

MR for local apt repo support in live-build: https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/369

The reason for strange firmware files becoming installed appears to be because of a firmware installation routine in live-build operating as intended (though since I'm building with contrib and non-free repos it seems to be pulling in a bit more than expected). Need some input on how to best handle that. I also diagnosed the reason for a "persistent mode" icon in the panel getting shifted over to the left, and created a patch here: https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/desktop-config-dist/commit/6b0ec41a2ec75b11dbe1b50d9040fb56761bc583

Prepare X event buffering Qubes OS pull request for re-review[edit]

Date: 2024-10-15

Added a signed integer overflow check to a potentially vulnerable area of the PR's code, and gave the code a short stress-test and functionality test using vmonaco's device fingerprinting test, Reddit, and YouTube. Resolved all conversations from Marek's review of the X event buffering PR, and requested a re-review.

2024-10-14[edit]

Debug Kicksecure live-build, implement local apt repo support[edit]

Date: 2024-10-14

Implemented local apt repo support in live-build and pushed to Git on Debian Salsa (their GitLab instance). Sadly due to a glitch in Salsa, I was unable to open a merge request, and am awaiting a reply from the Salsa administrators. Also debugged issues with installed and omitted packages in the Kicksecure live-build project. Ultimately I wrote an email to the debian-live mailing list because of particular extra packages getting installed for no apparent reason: https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2024/10/msg00007.html

2024-10-13[edit]

Continue effort to pork Kicksecure to live-build[edit]

Date: 2024-10-13

Got significantly further than on 2024-10-10. The ISO now boots "out of the box", installs "out of the box", and for the most part looks and works like a standard Kicksecure ISO. Further development tasks are listed in the Github repo for the project at https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/kicksecure-live-build.

2024-10-11[edit]

Rework Qubes OS kloak patch[edit]

Date: 2024-10-11

The Qubes OS "X event buffering" patch at https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-gui-daemon/pull/149 was reviewed by a Qubes OS developer and several changes were requested. I got Qubes OS R4.3 installed on my primary development system, prepped it to build Qubes OS packages, and then did development and testing of the patch there. All requested changes were implemented, many of the comments were resolved (though I left some open for further discussion and review). The patch was also tested for functionality and appears to work well so far.

2024-10-10[edit]

Begin effort to port Kicksecure to live-build[edit]

Date: 2024-10-10

I downloaded the latest live-build from https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build (using the tip of the master branch), and merged in https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/353 so as to enable use of dracut. I then created a Debian Sid chroot within my Kicksecure development virtual machine, and built and installed live-build within it. (live-build works surprisingly well inside a chroot environment.) I then researched live-build's features, as well as how to use it properly, and then worked on getting a basic Kicksecure-like ISO built using it.

Due to some oddities surrounding package installation, dracut repeatedly got uninstalled at some point during the build process, resulting in the build crashing later on. To fix this, I modified the code of live-build to avoid installing packages that were the source of the issue (namely live-config and live-boot). Additionally, the security-misc package was crashing the build because it was intentionally failing to install itself when it detected there were no users with sudo rights on the system. This ended up requiring a live-build hook to work around, which is not a desirable solution long-term. Quite a few very long builds had to be done before I finally got a working ISO, and I had to tweak the source code of live-build slightly, but I was successful at getting the ISO to both build and boot to a Kicksecure desktop. The source code of my live-build fork is at https://salsa.debian.org/ArrayBolt3/live-build/-/tree/arraybolt3/lb-dracut?ref_type=heads. The live-build configuration that finally worked somewhat for me is at https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/kicksecure-live-build.

The finished ISO had quite a few problems:

A generic-looking Debian live GRUB theme is shown on bootup.
Due to a dracut bug in bookworm, the ISO will drop you to a dracut emergency shell if you attempt to boot it by just pressing "Enter" when prompted. You must press e to edit the boot options, and add rd.live.overlay.overlayfs=1 to the end of the kernel command line to get the ISO to boot.
When it does boot, you will be shown a very strange "Welcome to LXQt" window with no window decorations or anything. No window manager will be loaded.
To get past this state, you have to press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to a TTY, then go to /etc/lightdm delete the lightdm.conf.d directory recursively, and edit lightdm.conf so it contains no uncommented autologin configuration. Then you have to run sudo systemctl restart lightdm and you are presented with a login greeter. At the greeter screen, click on the wrench logo in the panel at the top of the screen, and select an XFCE session to log into. Then log in with username "user" and password "live", and now you will see a Kicksecure desktop.
The user is shown as being "Debian live user" in the application menu, with a prominent Debian logo applied. This is wrong.
More software than expected ends up preinstalled, such as "Zutty" (Zero-cost Unicode Teletype, which somehow ends up becoming the default terminal), Tor Browser Donwloader, and lximage-qt for instance.
Installation fails with a bootloader-related error, likely because we have a tweaked version of a bootloader install script that no longer applies, and my configuration doesn't preload the various GRUB versions into the on-ISO repository.
The notifier in the upper-right corner of the screen showing which mode is active shows "Live" with a green light, rather than "ISO" with a disc icon.

Additionally, my test build used only remote packages, not locally built ones.

Next steps:

Figure out a more elegant way of excluding bad packages other than modifying the source code of live-build. If modifications are absolutely necessary, add a blacklist feature and then use it.
Determine why additional software is getting installed such as Zutty and bits of LXQt, and make it stop happening. (This is probably caused by package dependencies somehow.)
Fix all the bugs.
Add the ability to install packages from a local repo and test it.
See if live-build can be used for building more than just live images. Some of the docs made it sound like it could be used for making preinstalled images, which could potentially be used for building VirtualBox and other hypervisor iamges using live-build too.
Integrate live-build into derivative-maker (or the other way around?) so that source code cloning, package building, and ISO assembly can be done in one command like what is currently possible with derivative-maker.

KeePassXC secret service feature request[edit]

Date: 2024-10-09

Attempted to identify what would need to change in KeePassXC to allow it to act as a distro's default secret service, and posted a feature request for it here: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/11342

Research Edgeless Systems' confidential computing[edit]

Date: 2024-10-09

Looked into several confidential computing solutions offered by Edgeless Systems, namely Constellation, Contrast, and Continuum. Added notes about them to the confidential computing Wiki page.

Research Enclaive[edit]

Date: 2024-10-09

Looked into Enclaive and noted them in the list of cloud providers. Also discovered Gramine for protecting individual apps and containers with Intel SGX, added them to the resources list and also moved Intel SGX out of the "not useful technologies" list.

Research Intel TDX[edit]

Date: 2024-10-09

Read through https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/690419 and did further research to determine how suitable Intel TDX looked for true confidential computing. Many of the features looked quite useful, but some of them were rather disappointing and I do not believe Intel TDX actually provides strong security guarantees against a determined cloud-provider-level adversary.

Debug Calamares issues[edit]

Date: 2024-10-09

Researched, fixed, or followed up on all outstanding Calamares issues:

Not all of these were immediately fixable, but as much as can be done with them has been. Notably the issue with the fallback bootloader cannot be easily fixed until the migration to live-build.

2024-10-08[edit]

Research Secure Cloud hardware[edit]

Date: 2024-10-08

Researched all items in the list, categorized as appropriate and made useful summaries for studying technologies. Raptor Engineering's POWER9 machines looked particularly promising.

Rewrite Broken Boot page[edit]

Date: 2024-10-08

Rewrote https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Broken_Boot to provide training and debugging assistance to users. Ultimately boot-info-script was NOT recommended as it could print sensitive LUKS data.

Upstream tirdad functionality into Linux[edit]

Date: 2024-10-07

Created a kernel patch that adds a new parameter, tcp_rand_isn, to the Linux kernel. Testing was done with Debian Trixie. The effort to upstream the patch can be seen here: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241007212735.460dc0eb@kf-ir16/T/#u

tirdad security improvements[edit]

Date: 2024-10-07

Wrote three pull requests against tirdad, each one independent of the others and applicable without needing to apply the others. One of them uses kernel live patching in lieu of page table modifications, one of them makes all generated ISNs purely random, and one of them fixes some security concerns in a string printing helper. PRs listed at https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/todo#tirdad_-_fix_code_issues

tirdad functionality review[edit]

Date: 2024-10-07

Spent a good amount of time reviewing how tirdad worked, what its end-goal was, whether it succeeded in that end-goal or not, and also experimenting with various code changes such as simplified ISN generation, use of the kernel live patching API. Ultimately:

It works. I was able to verify that its function hooks are called when a new TCP connection is made, and that the numbers it genrates are (pseudo)random.
The internal functionality is very complex, seemingly needlessly so.
- The entire hotpatching mechanism is able to be swapped out with live patching quite easily, making the code dramatically simpler.
- The ISN generator is still integrating into its calculations connection info, similar to the original ISN generation code in the Linux kernel. But this is pointless - all that info is being integrated into a hash that is (by design) changed entirely every time a new connection is made, even if the source and destination ports are identical to what they were before. It's simpler, probably more secure, and potentially faster to just generate a random 32-bit number every time an ISN is generated.
- It should be relatively simple to implement a kernel command line option that simply makes all ISNs random 32-bit numbers. Such a patch has a pretty good likelihood of being accepted upstream due to its simplicity, though it may have to wait until the next kernel merge window opens.

Fix keyboard layout-related Calamares installation failure[edit]

Date: 2024-10-06

Determine root cause of https://forums.kicksecure.com/t/locale-layout-installation-error/611 and pushed a fix at https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/live-config-dist/commit/fe3eb5da1a8a2c464026941c572e61de90d3e6e6. Tested to work with encrypted installations both in Russian (the language which was causing installation failures) and with German (the language which had been used most often to test the offending section of code previously).

Security review of tirdad kernel module[edit]

Date: 2024-10-06

Carefully studied the code of tirdad, a kernel module that hardens TCP initial sequence number generation. Results of the review were shared with the module author at https://github.com/0xsirus/tirdad/issues/23.

Review Intel SGX's suitability for confidential VMs[edit]

Date: 2024-10-06

Researched Intel SGX's use, functions, and vulnerabilities. Ultimately it appears security issues have been dealt with, but it does not appear useful for running private VMs. Added info to https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/confidential_computing#Technologies_investigated_but_not_useful recording this.

Finish preparation of Qubes OS X event buffering PR[edit]

Date: 2024-10-04

Fixed the remainder of the TODOs for the X event buffering PR for Qubes OS. Also tested user-configurable buffer timing and confirmed that it worked as expected. The PR still needs tested on Qubes R4.3, but after that (and assuming there are no further modifications requeted by the developers), it's ready to go. Possibly-final code visible at https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-gui-daemon/pull/149/files.

Research CPU-assisted memory encryption[edit]

Date: 2024-10-04

Mainly researched AMD SEV, study of Intel TME-MK had been done earlier. Recorded findings in Whonix's Dev/cloud page. Intel TME-MK is likely superior to AMD SEV for our threat model due to the fact that the hypervisor is allowed to provide its own encryption keys rather than relying on CPU-generated keys.

Study attestation features in pKVM[edit]

Date: 2024-10-04

Researched and discovered that pKVM does provide local attestation features, and that remote attestation against a pKVM host can be done via Verified Boot. Recorded findings in Whonix's Dev/cloud page at https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/cloud#Confidential_VMs

Dracut follow-up for systemd-cryptsetup bug[edit]

Verified that https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/issues/684 was indeed solved and reported back.

Research secure cloud technologies[edit]

Date: 2024-10-04

Did a bunch of research on technologies like TPM, Intel TXT, Intel TME-MK, Xen, etc. Revamped secure cloud notes at https://www.whonix.org/w/index.php?title=Dev/cloud&stable=0 with new info and attempted to put together a rough idea of what things would look like when properly implemented.

Debug root cause of Dracut automount problems[edit]

Date: 2024-10-03

Found the root cause of boot issues when doing dracut automount, and reported it as a bug to the dracut developers. Bug report: https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/issues/696

2024-10-02[edit]

Work on Dracut automount code[edit]

Date: 2024-10-02

Sadly this turned out to be broken on Debian. It looks like it's because an initqueue hook is insisting on finding a non-existent device and ignoring the fact that there's a usable root filesystem mounted to /sysroot. Further work is needed to get this to function properly.

Fix encryption checkbox bugs in Calamares[edit]

Date: 2024-10-02

Did necessary research, coding, and testing to fix UI bugs related to the "Encrypt system" checkbox in Calamares:

https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/2375 (user can check "Encrypt system", then process without entering a passphrase), fixed by https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/calamares/commit/cc96e65787a12cd2e93b69646aaf6b89c7d0ed52 This one was fixed last week, I tested the fix more thoroughly today.

Polish kloak implementation for Qubes OS[edit]

Date: 2024-10-01

Harden libkpmcore LUKS2 settings[edit]

Date: 2024-10-01

My original post asking for advise on how to proceed received no responses. and I only received one response on Matrix from someone who did not appear to be a KDE developer. To hopefully spark some further discussion, I filed an MR: https://invent.kde.org/system/kpmcore/-/merge_requests/54

Backporting just this change to Debian may be tricky as even if KDE is willing to go with this approach as-is, Debian might not be. We may still want to keep in mind the possibility of maintaining a fork of libkpmcore with our own secure defaults.

Debug Pipewire audio failure with Intel audio[edit]

Date: 2024-10-01

Hoping to get some hint as to what was going wrong, I ran pipewire, wireplumber, and pipewire-pulse in a terminal with verbose log output. The first run was done before switching to Pulseaudio, then a second run was done after switching to Pulseaudio and then back to Pipewire (which as discussed previously somehow "fixes" the audio device). No meaningful differences were visible in the logs when comparing them with Meld.

Since AC97 is Virtualbox's default audio device for Linux, it's probably in our best interest to just stick with it. If we have to get emulated Intel audio to work, the next step is probably to add additional debugging code to Pipewire to see where things go wrong. It may also be worthwhile to try some non-Pulseaudio-based audio applications (i.e. something that uses JACK or ALSA directly) to see what happens. Sadly I corrupted my Whonix VM pretty badly messing with Pipewire packages, and the Whonix server is only letting me download the latest release of Whonix very slowly, so I wasn't able to get further than this.

Debug audio failure with >2 GB RAM[edit]

Date: 2024-09-27

Verified bug under Debian, Ubuntu, and Whonix.

Discovered while testing with Ubuntu that I could switch to pulseaudio, play audio briefly, then switch back to pipewire and everything would work. Somehow pulseaudio "initialized" the audio device and then pipewire was able to keep using it, I guess?

Tried Pipewire from bookworm-backports, issue did not resolve.

Initially I thought that Arch Linux did not have this issue because of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1081965#5. With that in mind I looked at a diff between Arch Linux's Pipewire source code and Debian's Pipewire source code from backports. They were nearly identical with only a few non-suspicous-looking changes.

I then attempted to build Debian's Pipewire using build settings from Arch. This eventually worked, however installing the modded version of Pipewire did not resolve the problem.

As a sanity check, I then installed Arch Linux to see if the problem was reproducible there. It turned out it was reproducible, and the "initialize with pulseaudio first" hack also resolved the issue there.

Reported some of my findings at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1081965#10 and https://forums.whonix.org/t/virtualbox-intel-hd-audio-and-pipewire-incompatibility-audio-broken-after-increasing-ram-to-5-gb-no-sound-after-latest-updates-pipewire-bug/18211/27. I'm pretty sure this is an upstream bug at this point and will be hunting for it when I resume work on this.

Debug sysroot mount failure with dracut[edit]

Date: 2024-09-27

Tested use of live-build to make dracut-based live Debian images (building Trixie, Bookworm, and Bullseye images for testing). Things mostly worked, however the Bookworm image failed to boot with the same sysroot mount failure that Kicksecure is experiencing.

I then debugged the mount failure, and traced it to a difference between thw 90overlayfs module in Trixie and Bookworm combined with a missing feature in Bookworm. The full report is visible at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1082891.

Investigate using dracut's upstream overlayfs feature[edit]

Date: 2024-09-26

Kicksecure currently uses a Debian-specific filesystem overlay module for "live mode". dracut has the same feature already existing upstream, so we would like to switch to it.

Tested switching to it on Kicksecure, for some reason the dracut-native overlayfs module was silently skipped over despite being set up properly. Tested again on Trixie, everything just worked. Upstream bug comment: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/issues/1565#issuecomment-2378133277

Investigate Pipewire audio issues[edit]

Date: 2024-09-26

Successfully reproduced Pipewire audio bug and device-level workaround (switching to AC97 audio) using Debian 13 (Testing). I didn't think it would be reproducible on Debian 13, but it was. Still need to investigate if Ubuntu has this problem. Left a comment at https://forums.whonix.org/t/port-from-pulseaudio-to-pipewire-for-audio-support/16879/49.

Resolve inability to boot encrypted Debian with dracut[edit]

Date: 2024-09-26

Bug link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1078792 If you install dracut on a Debian 13 (Testing) machine with unencrypted /boot and encrypted root, the system will fail to boot successfully upon next reboot.

The root cause of this turned out to be a missing runtime dependency in dracut. When using systemd within dracut (as Debian does by default), systemd-cryptsetup is necessary to unlock the disk. The dracut package does not depend on systemd-cryptsetup, and so the initrd is left with no way to decrypt the root partition. Adding systemd-cryptsetup to the dependencies of dracut before installation is enough to resolve the problem. (The result doesn't look very good, the user is left with a gray rectangle that doesn't even necessarily look like a text box, and there's no indication that they're supposed to type their passphrase, but at least the disk can be decrypted.)

Dracut gives no warnings when it generates an unusable initrd in this way, so I filed a bug report about it: https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/issues/684 I also commented on the existing Debian bug report with my findings: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1078792#15 The fix for the packaging bug was submitted at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dracut/-/merge_requests/37.

Switch to systemd-less dracut[edit]

Date: 2024-09-26

Dracut with systemd enabled has a module conflict leading to a scary error message about being unable to mount sysroot. This error message ultimately is harmless, but disturbing. See https://forums.kicksecure.com/t/iso-error-message-during-boot-mount-sysroot-special-device-liveos-rootfs-does-not-exist/418/4.

When researching how to resolve this, I found https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/issues/1820#issuecomment-1133439023 which suggested omitting systemd from the dracut initramfs. After a couple of builds, I was able to do this and get a working Kicksecure ISO, however it now showed a (less scary) error message stating switch_root: failed to unlink mnt: Directory not empty. This turned out to be because Dracut mounts /dev/cdrom0 to /mnt/cdrom0 and then later tries to delete the directory without clearing it. After some more research, I wrote a dracut module that unmounted /mnt/cdrom0 and then rmdir'd /mnt/cdrom0, resolving the issue. This was tested and confirmed working. Code changes: https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/derivative-maker/commit/894d0657b7cd69370d67759709fff166d469cc37

Ultimately it looks like we won't go with this approach as systemdless dracut has issues with encrypted systems on Trixie at least. Testing to see if this even happens on Trixie is planned, and if so we'll fix the root cause there.

Test for memory leaks in kloak[edit]

Date: 2024-09-26

ChatGPT pointed out some potential memory leak areas in kloak's source code. I looked at them and didn't see any particular issues. After checking the allocation and free behavior, I additionally compiled and ran kloak, then did typing tests and lots of mouse movements in order to stress test kloak. No significant memory usage was noticed indicative of a leak.

Investigate dom0 implementation of kloak in Qubes OS[edit]

Date: 2024-09-26

Read through https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8541, investigated qubes-gui-daemon's source code to determine how to implement kloak most effectively there and suggested a potential way forward (writing kloak's functionality into the GUI daemon). Comment at https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8541#issuecomment-2377325699 Implementing kloak within individual VMs does not seem practical in the long run since kloak can't run above the X server or compositor without special support from that server or compositor, and Qubes OS's Wayland compositor is intended to be implemented without support for kernel input devices. This means that kloak has to be placed at the GUI daemon layer, in which case it's most likely easiest to just make it part of the GUI daemon.

Harden Calamares encryption settings[edit]

Date: 2024-09-25

Discovered that encryption code is located in libkpmcore, which is a component of KDE and not something that can be easily changed in Calamares yet. Discussed obstacles and potential implementation strategies with Patrick, decided to try just getting more secure settings upstream first. KDE development discussion post: https://discuss.kde.org/t/making-libkpmcores-luks2-settings-more-secure/21764

Require user to make encryption choice explicit[edit]

Date: 2024-09-25

I originally started by trying to implement this from scratch to offer it as a feature request to upstream Calamares. As it turned out however, the feature already existed, and was able to be switched on by enabling a preCheckEncryption variable. Code change: https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/live-config-dist/commit/410c62e664e7d1387e7c013867242838ff2cb912

While initially trying to implement this, I discovered a bug in Calamares where the user could check the "Encrypt system" checkbox and then proceed past the partitioning screen without entering a passphrase. I reported the issue upstream at https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/2375 (along with a PR that should resolve it).

Document kloak testing procedure[edit]

Date: 2024-09-24

Kloak development. Looked into potential applications that could be used to test kloak's effectiveness. Two hopeful-looking solutions were found on GitHub (https://github.com/johwconst/keystrokeDynamics2FA and https://github.com/goncalopp/keystroke_dynamics), however both of them proved to be prohibitively difficult to set up due to badly outdated Python code. TypingDNA appeared to be too privacy-invasive to recommend to other users. Settled on vmonaco's device fingerprinting test, and documented how to use it. Results can be seen at https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Keystroke_Deanonymization#Defense_Testing.

Document how to clear apt-cacher-ng's cache[edit]

Date: 2024-09-24

Kloak development. Kicksecure's build process uses apt-cacher-ng. If a corrupted package is downloaded from Debian's mirrors, it will crash the current build due to a hash sum mismatch, then crash every subsequent build because the corrupted package will be stuck in the cache. After a couple hours of debugging what was happening, I traced it back to the cache, cleared it, got a successful ISO build after a little bit more fiddling, then documented my findings at https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/Build_Documentation/VM#Build_repeatedly_errors_out_with_hash_sum_mismatch.

Avoid use of strncpy[edit]

Date: 2024-09-23

https://github.com/vmonaco/kloak/issues/66 mentioned wanting strncpy replaced with strlcpy for better security. However Linux's manpages warned about potential security issues with strlcpy (potential for DoS attacks if an attacker could control an input string) and performance issues, and recommended the use of a custom "strtcpy" function instead. This recommendation seemed reasonable, so I implemented it. Code changes: https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/kloak/commit/0c66a7b2da09cbabc5c4368a532ab43a0f34fbb8

Fix ARM support[edit]

Kloak development. ARM support bug: https://github.com/vmonaco/kloak/issues/25 ARM support seemed to mostly "just work" on the Raspberry Pi 4B when compiling and running kloak directly, unsandboxed. However sandboxing revealed that the syscall filtering rules set in kloak's systemd unit were not correct and thus kloak was crashing. Determining the right syscalls for aarch64 (and then also for x86_64 on top of that) took a while, as did setting up the RPi as a development board, but it was doable. Code changes: https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/kloak/commit/d7f386dcdd25263eb9e7a7031b171fdec3d0d4d3 and https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/kloak/commit/7fa9500c32f6560bf6ee7fe55438e27869601a0e

2021-12-31: CodeSelect Improvements, Refinements #3. Green color and check mark if copy is clicked

2021-12-30: CodeSelect Improvements

- no problems reported by reviewer

2021-12-20: mediawiki skin selection
- Whonix? -> Keeping mediawiki skin Foreground and adding CSS fixes later.
- Kicksecure: Which skin should be used as foundation? -> Same but with different CSS to have distinctive styles/colors.

2021-12-19: Colored Platform Icons, 500px*500px
- some icons pulled from web in better solution
- apple logo rights research. Seems using the logo is in most of the world public domain and in copyrighted jurisdictions logo is considered fair use and used by open source projects (means no licence)

2021-12-13 CSS very basic review. Answers for the following questions are desired:
- Is Whonix wiki currently using Mediawiki:Foreground.css? Yes.
- Is Mediawiki:Common.css currently in use? Also Yes.
- Advantages and disadvantages of merging these pages? -> No. Keep and Mediawiki:Common.css and Mediawiki:Foreground.css separate. Split into essentials (CSS for CodeSelect in Mediawiki:Common.css) and skin (Foreground) (Mediawiki:Foreground.css) specific.
