<h1>Whonix QEMU Setup </h1>
<img src="0.png" style="width:250px">
<p>Whonix is an open-source OS made specifically for general anonymous activities. In this tutorial we're going to set it up using the QEMU virtualization setup we installed previously.</p>

<p>I recommend using this setup into one of the above mentioned VMs, for <a href="../anonymityexplained/index.html">Anonymous use</a>, as per the <a href="../opsec4levels/index.html">4 basic OPSEC levels</a>.</p>
2024-08-09 01:38:06 +02:00
<p><u>Sidenote:</u> If your ISP does not allow Tor traffic, make sure that you <a href="../vpnqemu/index.html">route the QEMU VMs traffic through a VPN</a>, to hide the tor traffic from your ISP (You -> VPN -> Tor) Setup</p>

<h2><b>Initial Setup </b></h2>
<p>Make sure that you have setup the QEMU / virt-viewer setup we described in <a href="../antiforensics/index.html">this</a> earlier tutorial</p>
<p>Then install download the whonix VMS as follows:</p>
<p>First go <a href="https://www.whonix.org/wiki/KVM">here</a> to download whonix for qemu, </p>
<img src="1.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then extract the .xz file where you want the image to be at:</p>

<p>make sure you give them 4gb of RAM before launching them, then launch them:</p>
<pre><code class="nim">
[nihilist@nowhere VMs]$ cat Whonix-Gateway.xml | grep KiB
<<b></b>memory dumpCore="off" unit="KiB">2097152</memory>
<<b></b>currentMemory unit="KiB">2097152</currentMemory>

<<b></b>memory dumpCore="off" unit="KiB">4194304</memory>
<<b></b>currentMemory unit="KiB">4194304</currentMemory>
</code></pre>
<p>we can automate the VM startup procedure with a simple bashscript like so :</p>
<pre><code class="nim">
[nihilist@nowhere VMs]$ cat refreshvms.sh
#!/bin/bash
#remove VMs
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system destroy Whonix-Gateway

sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-destroy Whonix-Internal
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-undefine Whonix-External
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-undefine Whonix-External

<h2><b>Basic Whonix Usage</b></h2> </br> </br>
<p>So now you can compatmentalize your anonymous usage in a separate VM by using the tor browser there, along with keepass and monero:</p>
<p>You can open Onion Circuits on the gateway VM to view the tor connections being built up in real time like so :</p>
<img src="3.png" class="imgRz">
<p>And inside the Workstation VM you can browse Tor, and use Keepass just like in the <a href="../torbrowsing/index.html">previous tutorial</a>:</p>
<img src="4.png" class="imgRz">
2024-08-24 16:01:33 +02:00
<p>you can also use monero (take note that the default sudo password in whonix is "changeme", so don't forget to change it):</p>
