No. New boards are added periodically, but the documentation isn't updated; there's support for boards other than the ones listed in the documentation.

>Qubes' threat model assumes non-template guest OSes are already compromised
This is a good assumption, but doesn't excuse literally turning off all security in the guest OS because you assume they are already compromised. Security is like a bunch of filters, in that the attacker needs to breach each filter to finally pwn you. To remove the first filter (user -> root exploit) because you're assuming it has already been removed is retarded and actually lessens your total security (which is additive for each filter).

>>107845245
no, it's not really additive like you think. what you said is true if you completely ignore the fact that there's an enormous difference between getting root in guest linux VM and breaching the hypervisor, considering the state of the desktop linux' security. you're not gonna prevent an attacker with that. when you're capable of breaching Xen, getting root on a linux while you already can do ACE is just a nuisance.

It objectively is, take two parties
>actor A is running Firefox as root in a Linux distribution inside a VM
>actor B is running Firefox as a user in a Linux distribution inside a VM, with no root password (since Qubes has its whole template setup anyways).
An attacker would need to compromise the following things for actor A
>Firefox
>Xen Hypervisor
Whereas for actor B
>Firefox
>Privilege escalation exploit (e.g. through the Linux Kernel or a broken distribution setup, like an insecure setuid binary).
>Xen Hypervisor
It is clearly additive and thus actor B is objectively more secure than actor A.

>if you completely ignore the fact that there's an enormous difference between getting root in guest linux VM and breaching the hypervisor
Also I disagree with this, on a proper distribution with root password locked and nothing like sudo installed, the attacker will likely need a kernel exploit to get root. While that may be less difficult than compromising a Xen or KVM hypervisor, it still is a relatively high barrier that isn't just as simple as
>lol if an attacker found a Xen exploit, he's definitely got a kernel exploit!

it really isn't for someone capable of exploiting Xen, hence why it's not additive. it's not a big news when someone finds a local privilege escalation on Linux. people do it for fun. you should check Brad Spengler.

local privilege escalation on linux is usually shit like

The second is harder than the first, the first could be done by literally anyone because standard desktop linux is laughably insecure.

Most normal users are never going to get hacked unless they willingly hack themselves (e.g. run random executables, like vidya gaymes or visit shady websites with outdated browsers without an adblocker). For those users, something fairly insecure like a normal linux distribution or Windows or MacOS or such is a better compromise on usability versus security than something like Qubes.

In terms of just stupid shit like Monero, I am simply not convinced mixing your inputs with a bunch of fake inputs is anything but a sense of false security. Things like Tornado Cash or Zcash which use a ZKP setup are fundamentally superior to the automated mixing service that is Monero.

you know linux is kernel right? linux, even in the most hardcore way hardened as possible still has a way bigger attack surface than Xen.

DNS requests are proxied to sys-firewall or net as far as I remember (DNAT rules), that could be why. you will notice if you do 'nft list ruleset'. I think simply deleting those rules should stop routing without being filtered by adguard.

security isnt measured by your gut feeling and Linux is a multi million LoC sized general purpose OS kernel that is created and maintained by a person who thinks security is a joke. it's not comparable to a smaller and more specific hypervisor kernel that leverages virtualization. not mentioning Xen at least has some kind of standardization now by bringing more MISRA-C rules to the codebase each passing day.

Well beyond my FUD claiming Micay was a glowie, I just don't trust GrapheneOS' future. There is no strong source of funding for it, too much custom code that hasn't been battletested/audited by industry folks, opposition against it by multiple governments, and Micay himself is too unstable to be trusted long term.

>Monero to avoid being spied on by credit-card companies when shopping online (and also financial freedom: https://www.pcgamer.com/software/platforms/valve-confirms-credit-card-companies-pressured-it-to-delist-certain-adult-games-from-steam/)
Monero isn't a good solution for this, use Tornado Cash or Railgun instead. Be warned though, unlike with Monero the financial system is actually scared of those and will freeze your accounts due to AML concerns.

>Tor for browsing the web without being spied on
I wouldn't trust Tor with a ten foot pole, my comments about it being glowie central wasn't a joke, unlike GrapheneOS. If you want to hide from misc websites, sure. But don't be fooled into thinking you're private from the state with it.

>>107846332
