Described as an innovation in computing privacy.
Imagine you're entering a country at the airport. The border agents seize your laptop and force you to unlock it so that they can violate your privacy, treat you like a criminal, and insult your humanity. Is that the world you want to live in?
Whether you use Windows, macOS or Linux, now there's a tech solution for better privacy: HiddenVM.
HiddenVM is a simple, one-click, free and open-source Linux application that allows you to run Oracle's open-source VirtualBox software on the Tails operating system.
This means you can run almost any OS as a VM inside the most anti-forensic computing environment in the world. Works where Tails does.
The VM will even connect to full-speed pre-Tor Internet by default, while leaving the Tor connection in Tails undisturbed.
To ensure anti-forensic deniability of your VMs, you can place your persistent HiddenVM installation - containing all VirtualBox binaries, VMs, and HiddenVM itself - in a hidden VeraCrypt volume, and only mount it in the amnesic Tails.
If you set it up correctly, when your computer is turned off all anyone can plausibly see is a blank Tails USB and a 'wiped' hard drive full of meaningless data, or a default booting decoy OS in a partition that you can create.
How does it feel to have no trace of your entire operating system - whether it's Windows, macOS or Linux - ever touch your hard drive? Now you can find out.
HiddenVM: insanely private!
