Hey everyone, I am very new to development, and I have never made a custom version of Linux, but from my understanding it isn't that hard.
But I do need some guidance for this project if it interests anyone, and they would like to help out.
Blackbeard, and its first version, I've nicknamed “Tortuga” is made to solve a problem that maybe many people have:
That issue is downloading torrents over Tor isn't only dangerous for the user, but also dangerous for the TOR network.
Not everyone has access to, or really wants, a VPN service for many applications on the web.
So I want to create a python program nicknamed "safe harbor" (if that's best, you tell me! My research tells me Python 3 has support for zero knowledge encryption)
The idea would be that it would use Zero knowledge (ZKsnarks) for file transfers, integration with the pirate bay, hence the pirate theme.
The other issue is TAILS is strictly a privacy based OS with very few if any other features by design. What I would like to do instead is allow storage and transfer of the files downloaded or uploaded to the encrypted partition. Like a normal flash drive, but with LUKS encryption, and hide the presence of the system files when using as a basic flash drive. If I want to move a media file from the host to it and make it available to upload to “safe harbor” when I boot a live session, and vice versa that would be ideal.
The issue I foresee also is speeds being slow, so I was considering some other things.
I would like to develop a Cloud environment for safe harbor, where users could devote a certain amount of resources to the network (like a mining pool). These "seeders" could provide a encrypted SSH Host, or mini, collaborative IAAS. Something tells me, it would probably be easier and more profitable than mining crypto. The prices for Azure, etc., are beyond overpriced.
Also, I am having issue downloading the source to modify Tails from the Git repo's. if anyone has a fix for that, I'd appreciate it.
