# 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](/AniNIX/ShadowArch) installation. It receives the following resources from [[Forge2]]:
|
|
* 4 Cores
|
|
* 8GB RAM
|
|
* Virtualized GPU
|
|

### 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.
|
|
* Files
|
|
* [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XFS XFS Filesystem]
|
|
* LUKS volume
|
|
* LVM physical volume
|
|
* 2TB Physical disk

[[Category:LDAP]]The 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)

}}The Forge2 is the primary hardware platform on which the AniNIX runs.
|
|
|
|
## Etymology
|
|
The Forge2 the second Forge build, the original having been two towers instead of one.
|
|
|
|
It is so named because the exterior is solid black with soft red LED's internally -- this creates an appearance similar to a furnace.
|
|
|
|
The Forge builds are also so named because projects are created, developed, and tested in these frames.

## 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|antivirus]] follows the [[VirusScan##Hyper-V|Hyper-V considerations]].
|
|
|
|
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.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.
|
|
<pre>"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\Users\Admin\VirtualBox VMs\raw7.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive7</pre>
|
|
|
|
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|AniNIX::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|equivalent capacity]].
|
|
|
|
You should look at [[Aether|AniNIX::Aether]] notes on cloud computing if you consider this as an option.AniNIX::Forge3 will be a successor to [[Forge2|AniNIX::Forge2]] and [[Infrastructure|AniNIX::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.

|
|
|
|
## Uses
|
|
1. Physical patrolling
|
|
1. Lock inspection
|
|
1. Invalid care, for those unable to move on their own.
|
|
1. Hardware inspection, in the case of an [[Sharingan|AniNIX::Sharingan]] alert.
|
|
1. 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

|
|
|
|
## 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:Entity]]<b>WARNING: Holocrons should not hold copies of sensitive information.</b><br />
|
|
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|AniNIX::Aether]] backups, [[Foundation|Git]] 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.

<b>WARNING: Do not store sensitive information on Holocrons!</b><br/> 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|AniNIX::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:

}}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]]
|
|
* Network: Charter Communications modem providing, ostensibly, a 500MB/s upload and 6Gb/s download speed. SpeedTest.com results fluctuate. [[Category:Charter]]

}}A Nazara host is a gateway to accessing other hosts. It is a safeguard against admin error.
|
|
|
|
## 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](../Services/SSH.md) 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.

## ReferencesThe Shadowfeed is the networking gateway between the AniNIX and the outside world -- it broadcasts the AniNIX signal and allows the network to communicate.
|
|
|
|
## Etymology
|
|
The Shadowfeed is named after a resistance communications network in the Star Wars universe. The [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/CIS_Shadowfeed Shadowfeed] was a disseminated network routed through existing communications technology, allowing a separatist movement to broadcast its message.
|
|
|
|
## Capacity and Components
|
|
The Shadowfeed is an Netgear R7000 Nighthawk router hardware flashed with DD-WRT firmware.[[Category:DD-WRT]][[Category:Netgear]] It can hold numerous clients wirelessly, and it supports wired USB 2.0 and 3.0 hard-drives to create simple NAS storage. There are five physical slots, one occupied by wired connection to the Forge2 frame, one by a connection to the Verizon wireless tower, and one to the Infrastructure. One remaining slot is free with a 100ft Cat5e cable and the other reserved for hotswap in case of port failure or LAN need.

|
|
<b>Note:</b> the best place we've found to grab firmware updates is [https://ddwrt-kong.clonevince.fr/ this upload site for Kong's builds]. Ensure that you are on build 33525 or later to avoid being vulnerable to [https://aircrack-ng.blogspot.com/2017/10/krack-wpa-vulnerability-key.html KRACK]. Follow the instructions [https://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation from the DD-WRT Wiki] to flash your router with new firmware or to patch. Make sure to watch for the peacocking notes! Use the dork "kong dd-wrt build <buildnumber>" -- if you use Chromecasts for [[Geth|AniNIX::Geth]], make sure to look for explicit validation of the devices, or run your own extensive regressions.

|
|
### 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|AniNIX::Yggdrasil]]. Please use an [[SSH|SFTP]] 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.
