L/i/nux

L/i/nux Project Proposal

This is the proposal to create a new distrobution of Linux for our /i/nsugents. While I realize that this would be fairly similar to BackTrack in many ways I think there would be some key advantages to us creating our own distr0. Mainly that since anonymous is not, in any sense of the word, an enterprise we can include tools that BackTrack was restricted from including (i.e. Nessus), and our catalog of tools tends to go beyond penetration testing and include tools for Pranks Calls, DDOS attacks, and the like.

Discussion

I've set up an IRC channel for the L/i/nux Project. I can't connect to irc.partyvan.fm so the channel is on irc.chatnets.net #l/i/nux

Determining Methodology

* The first thing to decide if we decided to start the L/i/nux project is whether we simply want to re-brand an existing Linux distro with a set of packages (as done with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix for example) or if we want to go all in and create our very own distribution. The pros and cons of each method can be discussed below. I honestly don't know if it takes more work to put together your own program suite for Linux or to roll your own distro so that's not included in the Pros/Cons. If you think of something else add it.

• We're going the Distro Method, we're gonna be passing around virtualbox VM so that we can send it to each other to work on.

The Remix Method

* Tutorials on how to remix a distro: Remixing Ubuntu

• Pros:
  1. + as secure and up to date as the base distro
  2. + less bandwidth rape

• Cons:
  1. - less control
  2. - more work for the user as they have to install each component individually
  3. - for Debian based distros auto update would require the user to manually add a line for L/i/nux to /etc/apt/sources.list
  4. - compatibility would have to be ensured across a great deal of the top Linux distributions and their various versions
  5. - i have no idea how this would work

The Distro Method

• Tutorials on how to create your own Linux distro:
  • From Knoppix / Puppy Linux / Linux From Scratch (LFS) / Gentoo link
  • From Debian based distros (Ubuntu used as the example) link

• Pros:
  1. + many how-to's available
  2. + more control
  3. + components would be pre-installed for the user
  4. + much more official

• Cons:
  1. - bai bai bandwidth
  2. - responsibility to keep the distro secure and up to date would fall on us

The Distro Which L/i/nux Will Be Based Off Of

1. Ubuntu Decided upon by irc.

Tools & Programs To Include

• Pretty much the programs used in Backtrack
• Components for Prank calls, DDoS attacks, etc
• Encryption tools to hide shit
• Anonymizing tools (Tor for starters)
• a fuckton of IRC clients
• Components for Perl/C-C++ scripting, etc, so people can code their own stuff (It's free software, after all)
• WINE, etc.
• 'restricted extras' support for playback of mp3s / DVDs / etc.
• start with gnome, add kde and xfce versions later
• tint2
• conky
• Freenet
• list the programs here lol

Mockups

These images are reference for people working on the look of L/i/nux, and are by no means how the L/i/nux distro will look when finished (especially since most of them are just ideas put together for reference from two minutes in mspaint.)
