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. 15 more amazing features → Brute Force Defense Kicksecure protects Linux user accounts against brute force attacks by using pam tally2. Entropy Enhancements 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 Kicksecure offers a much requested Live Mode. 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. Extensive Documentation The more you know, the safer you can be: Extensive Kicksecure Documentation Virus Protection Kicksecure provides additional security hardening measures and user education for better protection from virus attacks. Console Lockdown Legacy login methods can be a security risk. Console Lockdown disables them for improved security hardening.

Upcoming Security Enhancements sandbox-app-launcher is an application launcher that can start each application inside its own restrictive sandbox. Each application runs as its own user, in a bubblewrap sandbox and confined by AppArmor. 8 more Enhancements → apparmor.d - Full system Mandatory Access Control (MAC) policy - "AppArmor for everything" Untrusted Root User Deactivate malware after reboot from non-root compromise Hardened Linux Kernel Post-quantum cryptography resistant signing of releases Mount Options Hardening Multiple boot modes for better security (user, live, secureadmin and superadmin) Join the team! Your help is very welcome! As a patron, as a multiplier or even as a contributor! Kicksecure update servers know neither the identity nor IP address of the user because all upgrades are downloaded over Tor by default. Kicksecure uses strong Kernel Hardening Settings as recommended by the Kernel Self Protection Project (KSPP). Time attacks on Kicksecure users are defeated by Boot Clock Randomization and secure network time synchronization through sdwdate (Secure Distributed Web Date). Kicksecure provides a much lower attack surface since there are no open server ports by default unlike other Linux distributions. All unsolicited incoming connections are rejected. 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. TCP ISN randomization prevents that. You can easily try Kicksecure by using various virtualizers , which enables security compartmentalization by running a Kicksecure VM on top of a Kicksecure host to isolate malware and testing inside the VM. Kicksecure protects Linux user accounts against brute force attacks by using pam tally2. 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. Booting into VM Live Mode is as simple as choosing Live Mode in the boot menu. Alternatively Debian and perhaps other Debian-based hosts can boot their existing host operating system into Host Live Mode. Linux is highly reliable and secure. Its open source and freedom paradigm sets it apart from other OS. That's why Kicksecure is based on Linux. Our website offers an alternative onion version which offers a higher connection security between the user and the server. This is because connections over onions are providing an alternative end-to-end encryption which is independent from flawed TLS certificate authorities and the mainstream Domain Name System (DNS). Our Firewall is configured specifically for securely using the Internet. AppArmor profiles restrict the capabilities of commonly used, high-risk applications such as Tor Browser.
