This is a high-level overview of the hosts used by the AniNIX. A truer source-of-truth is in AniNIX/Ubiqtorate, but we include this for conversation and dialog.

Core

The Core is the central VM on which the AniNIX's primary services are built. It is both a production platform and software repository location.

Etymology

The Core is so named because all the rest of the AniNIX is built around it.

Capacity and Components

The AniNIX is a AniNIX/ShadowArch installation. It receives the following resources from Forge2:

  • 4 Cores
  • 8GB RAM
  • Virtualized GPU
  • 2TB storage
  • USB device assignment
  • Virtual bridged network interface
  • Bluetooth adapter passthrough
  • CD/DVD drive
  • BluRay drive

Storage stack

The AniNIX uses the following storage stack, from user-accessed files to bits on disk. Bootability is from an unencrypted [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EXT4 EXT4 boot sector] and MBR [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB GRUB] bootloader.

The output of "lsblk -o NAME,KNAME,SIZE,FSTYPE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL,PARTLABEL" gives the following layout. Additional shares mounted to accomodate users are not shown.

Category:LDAPThe DarkNet VM is the privacy protection of the AniNIX. The AniNIX does not believe in security by obscurity or in censorship; as such, everyone should have a voice.

Etymology

The DarkNet is named for an anonymous network whose access is controlled only by the admins and whose usage is known only to them. It's entirely closed and anonymous.

Capacity and Components

  • ShadowArch
  • 1 core
  • 1024M of RAM
  • 150G of storage
  • Virtualized NIC

Hosted Services and Entities

The DarkNet uses a small package list but runs more than the standard ShadowArch install. Also included are the xfce4, xorg-server, tor-browser-en(AUR), transmission-gtk, transmission-cli, and openvpn packages.

Abilities

  • Encrypted storage by default to a passphrase known only to admins.
  • Tor proxy service, integrated with both text lynx and GUI tor-browser-en browsers.
    • Lynx is aliased to "torsocks lynx" globally
  • Anonymous VPN via OpenVPN (details available on request)

Hypervisor Notes

Hyper-V integrates VM's with Windows, allowing VM's to be started at Windows boot, providing direct disk access, and managing assignment of cores, memory, and disk.

ShadowArch guests with a GUI should include xf86-video-fbdev and set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet video=hyperv_fb:1920x1080" to get maximum screen resolution.

Hyper-V comes with a few limitations. PCI and USB devices can't be passed through without 3rd-party software, but this was considered acceptable.

Hyper-V guests require significant configuration to prevent performance problems. Dynamic memory should be disabled to prevent a guest from overrunning the host. Data Exchange, Backup, and Guest Services should all be disabled from integration services. Disable checkpoints. Automatic start action should either be on startup or disabled, and automatic stop action should always be poweroff.

Hyper-V itself also requires configuration of the Windows host. The default High Performance power profile turns off monitors when not in use but does not put the entire frame to sleep -- this is the desired behavior.

Antivirus

Make sure Hyper-V, if using VirusScan follows the VirusScan##Hyper-V.

Presently, this still caused drops in virtual disks, crashing several VM's, so we are suspending antivirus on the hypervisor, along with most general-purpose browsing. Read the following for other user experiences.

  1. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/i-dont-use-anti-virus-software-am-i-nuts/
  2. https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/41b0k0/is_antivirus_software_still_necessary_for_windows/

Windows Update

The Windows Update service, if it deems the system too out of date or in need of critical fixes, may forcibly restart the system. We recommend keeping the Windows Update service disabled on hypervisors until patching is desired. This can be done in services.msc.

We recommend addtionally setting the "gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Windows Update \ Configure Automatic Updates" option if you have a Pro or Enterprise license.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode, even immediately interrupted, has been observed to break network connectivity and VM uptime. When running as a Hypervisor, it is advisable to disable sleep and hibernate modes. Change these from Group Policy under Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings. Enable "Turn Off Hybrid Sleep" and disable "Allow Standby States (S1-S3) when sleeping".

Previous Hypervisors

VirtualBox

Oracle VirtualBox is a free hypervisor that can run on almost any OS. This makes deployment and device driver management entirely on the stock OS, which was Windows in our case thus alleviating driver problems. Management is also easy, particularly with an admin account, so it's easy to assign cores, memory, and such to a VM. VirtualBox can assign raw disk access with VBoxManage. Use Windows Disk Manager (diskmgmt.msc) to identify the disk. In the case below, 7 is the disk number.

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\Users\Admin\VirtualBox VMs\raw7.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive7

VirtualBox was dropped due to buggy integration with the running OS and the inability to start VM's at OS Boot.

ArchLInux/KVM-enabled KVM

The Forge2 frame has a 60GB SSD installed for KVM-enabled QEMU virtualization inside a minimal ArchLinux host. This implementation allows passing any host resources to the guest, including USB and PCI devices which is an advantage over other Hypervisors.

While Intel VT-d provided by the motherboard ostensibly supports this passthrough, it had hardware caps on the x79 that the AniNIX could not afford (4 hard drives, 1 CD drive) without disabling KVM, and the network bridging created problems for VPN clients.

Alternatives

You could in theory put the hardware for an AniNIX network clone in the Cloud. There are steps to set up ArchLinux in [http://codito.in/archlinux-on-azure/ Microsoft Azure] and [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=186707 Google Cloud]. This may be advantageous for sites that have uptime concerns, low local resources, or physical security concerns.

From a cost perspective, power and network for a Forge2 and Shadowfeed costs roughly $100 per month with a $6000 buy-in. Equivalent cloud solutions would need to supply at least one full backup image with highly available power and network, along with Forge2##Capacity and Components.

You should look at Aether notes on cloud computing if you consider this as an option.AniNIX::Forge3 will be a successor to Forge2 and Infrastructure. AniNIX::Core will be turned into hardware rather than VM, and a new systemd+qemu ShadowArch install will take the role of Hypervisor from Windows. Options being evaluated are below.

Recovery

Recovering games used to be a tired process of maintaining product keys. Today, this is less an impact. Instead, one should buy games through services that allow reinstallation of the same. [https://steampowered.com Steam] and [https://uplay.ubi.com/ Uplay] both support this functionality. SWTOR and MMO's like it do not install unique content directly to the local machine, so they are easily reinstalled.

Independent games or freeware should be preserved through keeping copies of the installers.

Streaming

Linux Tachikoma or DedSec hosts can stream from a Games install using Steam in-home streaming. Wireless AC connections are recommended, and [https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711 firewall rules] need to be made. }} Category:Internal_ServiceThe Geth Armature is a robotic body that allows the Geth to interact with the real world.

Uses

  1. Physical patrolling
  2. Lock inspection
  3. Invalid care, for those unable to move on their own.
  4. Hardware inspection, in the case of an Sharingan alert.
  5. Potentially firing off other Geth-controlled units, such as carrying an IR module into range of a Roomba.

Hardware

We're coding for [http://www.swiftstreamrc.com/product/robo-buddy/ RoboBuddy from SwiftStream], but the process to be documented will be very similar for any mobile IP camera. Key requirements:

  • Articulation on the camera
  • Onboard lights
  • Durability of frame
  • Self-recharging
  • Good resolution

Softare

Etymology

While many Geth mobile units were modeled after their Quarian creators, larger security units were more utilitarian. The collapsible, giraffe-like Armature were the heavy armor that could be deployed into hostile territory to protect their holdings. Similarly, ours protects our locations.

Category:EntityWARNING: Holocrons should not hold copies of sensitive information.
The Holocron is a mobile USB designed to take over any computer hardware and run as an element of the AniNIX.

Etymology

Named for the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Holocron_of_Heresies Sith Holocron] from the Star Wars universe, the Holocron is a method for AniNIX admins to craft and record all their personal code and knowledge, including Aether backups, Foundation repo checkouts, etc. It should be secured and difficult to crack to protect the secrets within, just as its namesake -- the better the traps, the better the knowledge it can hold.

Capacity and Components

Holocrons have no defined capacity since they are not bound to any set of hardware. The portable storage space is bound to the drive on which it's written.

Hosted Services and Entities

No services or entities are hosted.

Connections

Holocron can dial to any host desired. It should have VPN, SSH, remote-desktop, browser, code version control, and file transfer clients available.

Additional Reference

Implementation details for Holocron are below.

WARNING: Do not store sensitive information on Holocrons!
Though a Holocron has its root encrypted, /boot is not and the device is portable. Physical access is death! The storage can be cloned and cracked with sufficient computing resources. The encryption is a delay but not a hard-stop protecting your information. If you have access to an encrypted machine like Core there is no reason to keep sensitive information on this, a client device. If you have nothing else, this encryption is better than none.

The Israelis and such have been working out ways to listen with directional mics to crack encryption, and I have no guarantee they didn't use some similar hardware assault to crack the encryption. The algorithm might be smart enough, but the hardware may give rise to a more direct way. Moreover, with the hardware being mobile, the firmware and bootloader could be assaulted to broadcast key signatures from memory, or someone could record you entering the decryption password. Some example vectors are below:

Installation

  1. Install ShadowArch to the / partition. Remember to remove the first four lines so that your mount options are used with your storage layout.
  2. Create a folder /boot/iso in the / partition.
  3. Edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom:
    1. See [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multiboot_USB_drive Arch's multiboot] for individual GRUB entries.
    2. Also see [https://releng.archlinux.org/pxeboot/ Arch's netboot] for a GRUB entry to use for netboot.
  4. Load ISOs and pack for travel.

Example 40_custom file:

1. !/bin/bash
exec tail -n +3 $0
probe -u $root --set=rootuuid
set imgdevpath="/dev/disk/by-uuid/$rootuuid"
menuentry 'ArchLinux ISO' {
	set isofile='/iso/archlinux.iso'

Recommended uses

  • ArchLinux ISO: This ISO can be used to have a clean point from which to start -- its signature and size can be compared against [https://archlinux.org/download the ArchLinux page] for integrity.
  • Kali Linux ISO: This ISO is a hack suite, porting the latest tools with the user.
  • CentOS ISO: This allows a user to access an enterprise network using a trusted OS with a known signature.
  • ArchLinux local install: This is a portable workspace for the carrier -- packages installed here will be persistent, and allow the user to boot their own toolset without any or much network traffic.
  • Cross-platform storage: This allows Spartacus to perform as a usual flash-drive. }}The Infrastructure is a conglomerate of machines with mostly proprietary firmware providing power and connectivity to the AniNIX.

Etymology

This should be self-explanatory -- the Infrastructure describes the lowest-level connection between the digital world of the AniNIX and the physical world. The Infrastructure passes raw resources from the physical world for the AniNIX to manipulate.

Capacity and Components

The capacity of the Infrastructure is limited by the following areas:

  • Power: 1500VA / 900W with surge protection on all sockets and battery power on three sockets for roughly 20 minutes of operation under the usual AniNIX load. Category:HasBattery Power is provided by Madison Gas & Electric Category:MG&E via a CyberPower UPS Category:CyberPower

Etymology

Nazara hosts are named because they are the first line of defense against administrative error -- they prevent admins from being locked out of correcting their changes.

Capacity and Components

A Nazara host needs minimal CPU or memory.

Hosted Services and Entities

Nothing is hosted by a Nazara.

Connections

Any host should be able to connect to a Nazara with SSH and X11, and it should be able to dial to any service provider.

Additional Reference

Nazara hosts should be deployed alongside any Hypervisor. They can be as simple as a Pi-hole with SSH access, and they should be allowed to receive SSH connections from a non-tcp/22/ssh port.

Sample Startup Script

The following will insert firewall lines into your sample startup script to harden your network edge. This allows WebServer, SSH, IRC, Geth, and Nazara access through the firewall, dropping all others. It also sets up the block chain for Cerberus.

Hosted Services and Entities=No services should be hosted for Tachikoma, despite SSH.

Connections=Varies by purpose}}Omnitool is a mobile smartphone client of the network.

Etymology

The Tricorder is named after the fictional and ubiquitous devices from the Star Trek universe. Because the Tricorder is useful in a number of situations, hand-held in the same way, and is almost always handled by an Admin save during sleep, the name was apt.

Besides, we like the subtlety, craftiness, and paranoia of the Romulans.

  • Microphone
  • 16MP Camera
  • CDMA, GSM, WCDMA, UMTS, LTE Network-capable with US Cellular SIM

Hosted Services and Entities

The Tricorder can host a couple remote-management tools.

Recovery Path

Please encrypt your Tricorder for privacy reasons. For those concerned, here is your recovery path, should the device be rendered inoperable or inaccessible.

  • The Google Play Store records all applications installed on the phone.
  • Music, pictures, and video should be replicated from Yggdrasil. Please use an SSH client to regularly store your necessary files on your AniNIX account, or upload your files to a trusted storage service. For insecure files, [https://drive.google.com Google Drive] is sufficient and free.
  • Customizations will be lost but should be easily recreated.
  • SSH Keys should be recreated. Remove any existing public keys from servers the device had access to.
  • Android devices can be remotely wiped, locked, or pinged from Android Device Manager.

Most severe problems with an Android device can be fixed with a factory reset, patching, app re-installation from the Play Store, and pulling down any desired files. While this is a cumbersome process, for non-rooted, encrypted devices, this is often the easiest route. }} {{Mobile}}: Warning: Windows may reformat non-Windows partitions with no warning during boot.
