Genode Tails?

[Jookia]

Hi!

I use Tor as part of my threat model on my machine, and I think Genode could
certainly help me manage things like this. I'm very interested in working
towards a Genode parallel of Qubes which could be used for such a thing like
Whonix where routing is transparent to an extent.

However, I would hesitate to say we could make a Tails equivalent. Like with
Tor, everyone needs to be using the same tools to avoid fingerprinting. No
matter what you do, it's going to be obvious you're running Genode instead of
Tails. Perhaps sitting a Tails virtual machine inside Genode would be a better
idea given that if it's compromised it'd appear to just be Tails.

For better integration, perhaps a block of memory could be established to share
a shell and X11 windows, and have the virtual machine read to this. Such a
block of memory could be enabled by default meaning there'd be no way to know it
was actually used. Of course this would also be useful for hardware exploits,
but I don't think that's part of Tails' threat model.

Cheers,
Jookia.
