Privacy is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve and maintain. Operating systems, ISPs and web pages track us wherever we go. They know us. They know our tastes and interests. And this information is generally used to show us all kinds of personalized advertising. Since we turn on the computer we have our identity exposed. Unless we choose to use an operating system designed to protect our privacy, such as Linux Kodachi .
Kodachi, together with Tails, is a Linux distribution designed to offer users maximum privacy and maximum anonymity when connecting to the Internet. However, unlike Tails, this linux takes users’ privacy to the extreme, offering advanced features to offer us extreme anonymity, such as advanced support for VPN, I2P, GNUNET, DNSCrypt, multiple Tor outputs and multiple DNS, among others. stuff. In addition, we will also find a Panic Room , within which we will have all kinds of programs to literally destroy our entire trail and the entire system, erasing any indication of activity.
Like any good program to protect the privacy and security of users, it must be updated frequently. Thus, it will bring to all users who trust it the latest versions of the programs and tools that guarantee their promised privacy and anonymity.
Kodachi 7.2 “Defeat”: what’s new
The first of the novelties that we find when launching this new version of the distro is that, although it is still based on Xubuntu 18.04 LTS , it now brings a new version of the Linux Kernel , 5.4.0-42. All the packages and base programs of the distro have also been updated.
Beyond the Linux foundation, this new version brings users a new secure messaging app called Session Messenger . A new end-to-end encrypted messaging software, highly requested by users, known as Threema , has also been included . The messaging app “Riot” has been replaced by a more secure and updated one: Element. In addition, a new tool has been included, Steghide-GUI, which will allow us to hide text messages in photos, audio and other types of documents (what is commonly known as steganography).
Other relevant changes that we can highlight from this new version of Anonymous Linux are:
- A new IP lookup plugin in Kodachi Browser.
- OnionShare tool update issue fixed.
- Icon changes.
- Conky performance improvement.
- Added pci = noaer to a group to prevent errors.
- Moved Yandex DNS to a lower position.
- Fixed bandwidth issues with long messages.
With all this, the new version of Kodachi is now ready to provide us with maximum security and privacy.
