KODACHI THE SECURE OS
Posted by Warith Al Maawali on Oct 20, 2013 in Home Office | 712 comments
The Linux Kodachi operating system, a derivative of Ubuntu 18.04.6, offers a
highly secure, anti-forensic, and anonymous computing environment. It’s designed
with privacy in mind, incorporating all the features needed to maintain user
confidentiality and security.
With a straightforward setup process, Kodachi is user-friendly and doesn’t
require any Linux expertise. Simply boot the system from a USB drive, and you’ll
be up and running with a fully-operational operating system. This includes an
automatically established VPN connection, a pre-configured Tor connection, and a
running DNScrypt service, all optimized to maximize your online security and
privacy.
One of the key features of Kodachi is its transient nature. The entire operating
system operates from your computer’s temporary RAM memory. As a result, once you
power down the system, it leaves no trace—effectively erasing all your
activities and ensuring that your privacy is maintained at all times.
Kodachi is a live operating system, meaning it can be launched on virtually any
computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card. Its primary goal is to preserve your
privacy and anonymity. The features of Kodachi are designed to enable you to:
* Browse the internet anonymously: All of your online connections are routed
through a VPN and then the Tor network, coupled with DNS encryption, to
ensure maximum privacy.
* Leave no trace on the host computer: Kodachi does not leave any footprints on
the computer you’re using, unless explicitly instructed to do so.
* Utilize cutting-edge cryptographic and privacy tools: These tools allow you
to encrypt your files, emails, and instant messages to further enhance your
privacy.
Built on the robust foundations of Linux Xubuntu/Debian and customized with
XFCE, Kodachi presents a stable, secure, and uniquely personalized operating
system. For a visual overview of its distinct features, please view the provided
screenshots.

HOW TO USE IT:
Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started with Kodachi:
* * First option (recommended): Download the ISO file boot it up using Vmware
player- best choice player or Virt-manager or Virtualbox – very slow! – or
on linux you can run it on Boxes to install Boxes run the following
1. sudo apt install gnome-boxes
No files will be saved on those VMS unless you install Kodachi on them.
* Second option: Download the ISO file and burn it on a USB flash memory
using a free tool like Rufus – Good for reformatting and best for
persistence Kodachi 7+ , or Universal USB Installer – Persistence support
Kodachi below 7.0, or Etcher – simple tool has a Linux version, or Ventoy,
or YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator then boot your PC from it (Legacy or UEFI).
You will need to boot and press F12 key to get the boot menu and select
your USB on old PCS you have to change your BIOS settings to allow the
system to boot from USB as the first option.
* Third option: Download the ISO file and burn it on a DVD using a free tool
like DAEMON Tools then boot your PC from it.

HINTS:
To Login as normal user (Recommended):
Username: kodachi
Password: r@@t00 –> Please notice that the 00 is (double zero’s)
Username: root
Password: here
To change the password for the user Kodachi and root in case you want to lock
the PC with your own password use the following commands on terminal:
1. passwd
2. # changes Kodachi password
3. su passwd
4. # changes root password exit
Kodachi comes with many pre-installed applications and tools you can also change
Tor exit country from one click as well reset your DNS servers from one simple
click. You also don’t have to worry about your wireless or display drivers I
have included most of the common used drivers and tested them on my old mini and
here is the new one 2020.
SECURITY MODELS:
Explanation:
First, let’s understand the purpose of each component:
VPN: A Virtual Private Network encrypts all your internet traffic, acting as a
single point of anonymization.
Tor or Tor Browser: These tools encrypt only your web browser traffic and
provide anonymity by routing it through multiple volunteer-operated nodes.
Torified System: This refers to a system or device configured to route all
internet traffic through the Tor network, enhancing anonymity.
Dnscrypt: It encrypts DNS queries, ensuring the privacy of your browsing
activity by using a fixed predefined list of DNS over TLS providers.
Tor DNS: It encrypts DNS queries and uses a random list of providers within the
Tor network, enhancing privacy further.
Now, let’s explore the best configurations for anonymity and security:
For the best anonymity results::
* ISP > Router VPN or Host machine (XMR anonymous VPN) > Linux Kodachi VPN
(Virtual machine via NAT) > Torified System > TorDNS > Kodachi loaded browser
(Highly anonymous but slow).
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN (anonymous node) > TOR endpoint > Torified System >
Tor DNS > Kodachi loaded browser (Highly anonymous but slow).
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN (anonymous node) > TOR endpoint > Tor DNS > Kodachi
lite browser (Highly anonymous and fast).
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN with forced VPN Traffic > Torified System > Tor DNS >
Kodachi loaded browser (Anonymous but slow).
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN > Torified System > TorDNS > Kodachi loaded browser.
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN with forced VPN Traffic > Torified System > Tor
browser (Double TOR) > Tor DNS.
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN > Torified System > Tor browser (Double TOR) > Tor
DNS.
For the best security results (Email, Banking, Cryptocurrency)::
* ISP > Host machine (XMR anonymous VPN) > Linux Kodachi VPN (Virtual machine)
with forced VPN Traffic > Kodachi browser > Dnscrypt (Highly secure).
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN with forced VPN Traffic > Kodachi loaded browser >
Dnscrypt.
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN with forced VPN Traffic > Kodachi loaded browser >
Tor DNS.
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN with forced VPN Traffic > Kodachi lite browser > Tor
DNS (Fast).
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN with forced VPN Traffic > Tor browser > Dnscrypt.
* ISP > Linux Kodachi VPN with forced VPN Traffic > Tor browser > Tor DNS.
Please note that the configurations mentioned above are highly dependent on
individual requirements and threat models. It’s important to consult privacy and
security experts or follow reputable sources for the most up-to-date and
accurate guidance.
Additionally, consider the legal and regulatory aspects of using such
technologies in your jurisdiction. Stay informed about the latest developments
in privacy and security practices, and regularly review and update your security
measures for the best protection of your online activities.
Why doesn’t Kodachi offer the (ISP > Torified System > VPN) security model?
Because it is not considered secure. Here’s why read this article.
If you possess the necessary expertise and still intend to use the (ISP >
Torified System > VPN) security model, it can be achieved by following the steps
outlined below (applicable only for version 7.0 or earlier):
First, ensure that your VPN profile is configured to use TCP instead of UDP, as
UDP may not be compatible. Once you have confirmed this, you can proceed by
adding the following lines to your VPN configuration file:
1. up-delay # Optional to avoid the SIGHUP/SIGUSR1 after establishing connection
2. socks-proxy-retry # Optional keep retrying if it fails
3. socks-proxy 127.0.0.1 9051 # TOR is having socks proxy opened on Kodachi on this port so u redirect the VPN traffic to it
Next, enable system torrify functionality. Once that is done, you can proceed to
activate your VPN. With this configuration, all VPN traffic will be routed
through the TOR network, providing an additional layer of anonymity.
PERSISTENCE:
In Linux Kodachi, the Persistence USB feature is designed for maintaining
user-specific changes within the live mode environment. It achieves this by
storing modifications directly on the Kodachi flash memory. To enable this
feature, there are certain steps that need to be followed.
For beginers:
* Download Rufus – Best for persistence Kodachi 7+, or Universal USB Installer
Kodachi below 7.0
* Plug in your USB then run Universal USB Installer
* On step1 scroll down the list menu till the Anonymous TOR Browsers then
select Kodachi Example 1,Example 2
* Step2 click on show all iso check box
* Now click on browse button and select Kodachi ISO
* Step3 select the USB drive you want to burn Kodachi to
* Select the Fat32 Format Drive checkbox If you want more than 4 GB persistence
storage then select NTFS but then it won’t boot in UEFI only works with
Legacy Bios
* Now you should see the persistence bar enabled scroll it to match the size
you want for the persistence storage
* Click on create button to burn the ISO to the USB flash drive
* When the job is done, insert the USB to your PC and boot Kodachi from it then
select the option on boot up kodachi in Persistence mode
Now anything you do will be saved on flash memory but be aware that this storage
is NOT encrypted.
For advance users:
* Download Rufus Kodachi 7+ or Universal USB Installer Kodachi below 7.0 or use
Kodachi storage tools in Panic room section
* Burn the Kodachi ISO to the flash once completed all you need to do is
extract one of the following files and place it to the root of the USB you
just burned 1 GB – 2 GB – 3 GB – 4 GB
* Boot Kodachi from the USB and select the option on boot up for kodachi
Persistence mode
Now anything you do will be saved on flash memory but be aware that its not
encrypted.
Instructions from Discord user JJAskiz for manual encrypted persistence:
With Linux Kodachi OS, it is feasible to simultaneously maintain a clean live
environment and save your data for future use. This is achieved by
partitioning the same USB drive into two sections: one for the live OS which
remains unaltered, and the other for persistent storage where user data is
stored and retrieved in subsequent sessions.
* Step 1. Format the USB Drive to Fat32 Format (Maybe other Formats will work
too but I have not tried them so I don’t know). And make sure you set the
name to ”LKOS” (Linux Kodachi OS) Before formatting your USB Drive.
* Step 2. Split the USB Drive Partition on your USB Drive in to two USB Drive
Partitions using a Partitions Editing Software (I use the AEOMEI Software to
do this but there are many free options out there too, Just Google them and
find them).
* Step 3. Make sure you set the first USB Drive Partition as the Primary
Partition.
Note:
First Partition done.
* Step 4. Reformat the second USB Drive Partition to Fat32 Format.
* Step 5. Name the second USB Drive Partition to ”LK0S” (Linux Kodachi OS) But
put a zero ‘’0’’ Where the ‘’O’’ Is suppose to be (This will help you spot
the difference between your first USB Drive Partition which will contain the
Linux Kodachi OS and your second USB Drive Partition which will be your
storage USB Drive Partition).
* Step 6. Make sure you set the second USB Drive Partition ‘’LK0S’’ (Linux
Kodachi OS) As the Logical Partition.
Second Partition done.
Installing Linux Kodachi OS on USB Drive.
Before installing Linux Kodachi OS on your USB Drive, Please read both the
notes ahead, Thank you.
* Note 1: If you are using Universal USB Installer you can make your USB Drive
and the Linux Kodachi OS Persistent If you want to but it is not recommended
for privacy reasons.
* Note 2: Make the USB Drive and the Linux Kodachi OS Live and not Persistent
(Recommended) If you want the best privacy while using the Linux Kodachi OS.
Installing Linux Kodachi OS on USB Drive.
* Step 7. Install the Linux Kodachi OS using one of these Softwares Yumi,
Daemon Tools, Universal USB Installer and etc…, (Whatever Software you prefer
using to install the Linux Kodachi OS) On your USB Drive.
* Step 8. Run Linux Kodachi OS from BIO Settings.
Congratulations, You have now made a Linux Kodachi OS Live USB Drive with
Persistent (Saved) Storage.
Security (Recommended).
This is the process for applying LUKS Encryption, a Linux OS-specific
encryption method, to the second partition of your second persistent USB
drive, which is utilized for storage purposes.
* Step 9. Go to the bottom left corner, Click on the taskbar and bring up the
taskbar menu, Go to the settings part and bring up the side menu up of
settings in the taskbar menu and then go to ‘’Drives’’ And click it.
* Step 10. Once you are in the Software called ‘’Drives’’, Go to your USB Drive
Partitions by clicking your USB Drive using the left side part of the menu
list in Drives Software and that should bring up the USB Drive Partitions on
the right side. (Be careful to choose the correct Drive, If you choose the
wrong Drive and reformat, It will delete all data from that Drive and the
data on that Drive may be unrecoverable). Once you have chosen the correct
Drive (Your USB Drive) Then It will show the Partitions on the right side,
Look for your second USB Drive Partition ‘’LK0S’’ (Linux Kodachi OS) which
you use for storage. Note: The first ‘’LKOS’’ (Linux Kodachi OS) USB Drive
Partition on the left side is the USB Drive Partition that that contains the
Linux Kodachi OS, The second USB Drive Partition ‘’LK0S’’ (Linux Kodachi OS)
On the right side is the USB Drive Partition for storage.
* Step 11. Click the ‘’Format button’’ And follow the menu, Choose the ‘’Format
your USB Drive in LUKS (Linux OS Encryption with password protection)
Option’’, Which is usually the first option then click next.
* Step 12. Enter your password twice and then press ‘’Next’’ and then wait for
the USB Drive to finish formatting and you are done.
Congratulations, You have now added security to your second USB Drive
Partition on Linux Kodachi OS, Enjoy.
NUKE:
Kodachi Nuke is a unique self-destruction feature exclusive to the encrypted
Linux Kodachi operating system. Essentially, it adds an extra layer of security
by allowing you to set up a secondary password that, when entered, triggers the
complete encryption of your system with new keys. This feature ensures that even
if you’re coerced into revealing your password, your data will remain
inaccessible.
Here’s how it works: during the encrypted installation of Kodachi, you’ll create
your primary password. After setting up the Nuke feature, you’ll generate a
second, “nuke” password. You’ll continue to use your primary password for
regular access, but if you’re ever compelled to unlock the system under duress,
you can enter the nuke password. This action will effectively destroy the
encryption headers, rendering the system unrecoverable—even with the original
password. In essence, entering the nuke password is akin to commanding Kodachi
to self-destruct.
Setting up Kodachi Nuke is a straightforward process:
* Install Kodachi on your hard drive, ensuring you enable the encrypted LVM
feature during setup.
* After installation, navigate to the “Panic Room” and click on “Enable System
Nuke”.
* Follow the instructions provided by the setup script I’ve created. Once you
reboot, entering your original password will grant you access as usual.
However, entering the nuke password will initiate a silent self-destruction
process in the background. All you’ll see is a message stating that your
password is incorrect and prompting you to try again—a deceptive screen
designed to mask the ongoing encryption process.
WHERE TO USE IT:
Linux Kodachi is incredibly versatile, designed for use in a variety of
scenarios:
* Personal Computing: Ideal for daily use on desktops or laptops. It can be
booted from a flash drive (recommended for speed), a DVD (which may be
slower), or run within a virtual machine.
* Corporate Environments: It can be used for daily operations on office
computers. Boot it from a flash drive, a DVD, or run it in a virtual machine.
* Internet Cafés: Especially useful in public internet access points where
privacy is essential. Best booted from a flash drive or DVD (may be slower).
* Travel and Hotels: Maintain your digital privacy while on the move or during
hotel stays. Boot it from a flash drive or DVD (may be slower).
* Educational Institutions: Suitable for use in school computer labs. It can be
booted from a flash drive or DVD.
* General Compatibility: Kodachi is designed to run on any computer equipped
with a DVD-ROM or a USB port, as long as the system allows booting from these

Users and Groups.
* When it is done you can continue testing or reboot but make sure you remove
Kodachi live CD, ISO, or Flush stick to allow the system to boot from your
hard disk and not from installation media.
* Once you have boot from the installed system it will do some background work
on first boot only then it will shutdown you will have to boot it again this
will happen only once after successful installation of Kodachi.
* On some old PC’s boot up could be slow so better use noapic option from the
grub menu.
* If the installer breaks with GRUB installation failed make sure you disable
secure boot then try installing Kodachi again.
FAQ:
* * Question: Can I install Kodachi permanently on a flash memory stick?
Answer: Yes, you can perform a permanent installation of Kodachi on a flash
memory stick. During the installation process, your flash memory stick will
appear in the devices menu. However, please be cautious when selecting the
device for installation, as the chosen device will be completely wiped and
Kodachi will be installed in its place.
* Question: Can I encrypt the permanent installation?
Answer: Absolutely, you can—and it’s highly recommended—to encrypt the
permanent installation of Kodachi. However, keep in mind that each time you
boot up Kodachi, you will be prompted to enter a password. This is an added
security measure to ensure the integrity and privacy of your data.
* Question: How much RAM is required to run Kodachi in VMware Player?
Answer: While Kodachi can run on a system with as little as 2 GB of RAM,
for optimal performance, it is recommended to have at least 8 GB of RAM.
This ensures a smooth, responsive experience when running the operating
system in a virtual environment like VMware Player.
* Question: When typing in the browser, Gnote, or LibreOffice Writer, the
cursor jumps back to the beginning, causing the document to become messy if
I type quickly. How can I resolve this issue?
Answer: This issue often arises due to inadvertent touches on the trackpad
while typing. To fix this, consider disabling your trackpad while typing.
Most operating systems and laptops have settings to automatically turn off
the trackpad during typing, or you can manually turn it off in the device
settings.
* Question: Can I install Kodachi permanently on VMware or VirtualBox?
Answer: Yes, a permanent installation of Kodachi is possible on both VMware
and VirtualBox. However, it’s worth noting that in my experience, VMware
Player/Workstation tends to perform significantly faster. I’ve encountered
some performance issues with VirtualBox, where the system operated quite
slowly. As always, your experience may vary depending on your specific
hardware and software configurations.
* Question: How large should the flash drive be for the installation of
Kodachi?
Answer: If you’re planning to do a permanent installation of Kodachi, a
flash drive with at least 30GB of space is recommended. However, if you
intend to create a live ISO media, a flash drive with a minimum capacity of
4GB will suffice.
* Question: How can I confirm that the installation of Kodachi was
successful?
Answer: Upon successfully installing Kodachi and rebooting your system,
you’ll notice that the installation icon no longer appears on your desktop.
As an additional test, you could try saving a file to your desktop before
rebooting. If the file remains on your desktop after rebooting, it’s a
strong indication that the installation was successful.
* Question: Does Kodachi support persistence mode?
Answer: Yes, Kodachi does support persistence mode. Please refer to the
earlier provided instructions for setting up and using this feature.
* Question: Does Kodachi use my CPU for cryptocurrency mining to provide me
with a free VPN?
Answer: No, Kodachi does not engage in any form of cryptocurrency mining
using your CPU. Your resources are entirely your own. We uphold a high
standard of transparency and honesty. In fact, Kodachi has been publicly
audited, and no mining activities have been reported. You are always
welcome to audit the source code, which is included within the operating
system, for added assurance.
* Question: Can I use Tor browser while Kodachi is torified?
Answer: Yes, you can use the Tor browser while Kodachi is torified.
However, to do this, you’ll need to go to the Tor browser settings and
enable the Bridge feature. This ensures that Tor browser traffic is
correctly routed through the Tor network, even while Kodachi itself is
using Tor for all other traffic.
* Question: I’m using AMD Radeon R3 graphics and I get a blank screen when I
boot. How can I solve this?
Answer: If you’re encountering a blank screen upon booting with an AMD
Radeon R3 graphics card, try booting with the parameter iommu=soft. This
adjusts the way the system handles input-output memory management, which
can sometimes resolve issues with certain graphics hardware.
* Question: After a successful installation, I’m seeing a VMware message
stating “no operating system found.” Why is this happening?
Answer: This message typically appears when the installation ISO is still
mounted in VMware after the installation is complete. To resolve this, you
need to power off the system (don’t just reboot), unmount the ISO by
disabling the CD on power-up option in VMware, and then power on the system
again. Upon reboot, you should be greeted with the Kodachi boot menu,
identifiable by its green menu entry.
* Question: I’d like Kodachi to boot faster. How can I achieve this?
Answer: Kodachi is capable of booting in less than 10 seconds if installed
permanently (in Legacy mode, as UEFI is slower) on an SSD drive. By
installing the operating system on an SSD and booting from it, you should
notice a significant increase in boot speed. Remember, hardware performance
also plays a crucial role in boot time, so ensure your system meets or
exceeds the recommended specifications.
* Question: If I have missing drivers, how can I install them in Kodachi?
Answer: If you encounter missing drivers for a device, such as an HP
printer, in Kodachi, there’s no need to worry. Simply navigate to the Panic
Room menu and click on the “Install Drivers” icon. This feature allows you
to easily install the necessary drivers for your connected devices,
ensuring compatibility and proper functionality.
* Question: If the clock in Kodachi is displaying incorrect time, how can I
fix it?
Answer: To resolve issues with the clock displaying incorrect time in
Kodachi, follow these steps:
Go to “System Apps” and select “Time and Date.”
Unlock the settings by providing the necessary credentials.
Choose your country from the available options.
Close the settings window.
Next, perform the following steps:
Navigate to “Security Services” and click on “NTP Time Sync.”
Open the Panic Room menu and select “Restart XFCE Panel.”
By following these steps, you should be able to rectify any discrepancies
with the clock and ensure accurate timekeeping in Kodachi.
* Question: I’m encountering a keyboard issue where typing “google.com”
results in “www,g66g3e,c60”. Additionally, I may face difficulty unlocking
the screen after closing the lid or locking it. How can I resolve this?
I’ve tried turning off Num Lock, but if that doesn’t work, what are the
other possible solutions?
Answer: The keyboard issue you’re experiencing might be related to the Num
Lock (Number Lock) setting on your keyboard. Try turning off the Num Lock
by pressing the dedicated Num Lock key on your keyboard. If that doesn’t
resolve the problem, you can try pressing Fn + Num Lock or Shift + Num Lock
to toggle the Num Lock function.
If the issue persists, you can try running the following command in the
terminal:

* * * To gain a better understanding of the concept of forensic analysis, I
recommend exploring more about it by clicking here. However, if you must
proceed with the installation, it is crucial to enable encryption and
utilize the Nuke feature. This ensures an added layer of security and
protection by destroying the encryption headers if needed.
* Kodachi is an open-source project that operates under a Commercial
license. The custom codes used in Kodachi are written in plain text bash
scripts, developed by the project’s creator. These scripts, which provide
the core functionality of Kodachi, are included within the ISO package.
The transparency of Kodachi is emphasized by the availability of its
source code on GitHub, enabling users to review and verify the integrity
and security of the software.
It’s important to note that while most of the software in Kodachi
consists of plain text bash scripts, the Dashboard component is the only
part that has been compiled by the project’s creator. This compiled
software ensures the smooth operation of the Dashboard, which serves as a
central control panel for various features and settings in Kodachi. By
combining open-source bash scripts with the compiled Dashboard component,
Kodachi delivers a transparent and accessible operating system that users
can examine and rely on for privacy and security.
* I pay a monthly rent to run the VPS nodes and provide you with a VPN
service. I want to assure you that I do not collect or store any user
data or information (logs) except for the hardware ID (hash) and the
connected IP address (VPN IP). This information is automatically sent
when your PC establishes a connection to the VPN. However, you have the
option to opt in to randomize your hardware ID, ensuring increased
privacy and anonymity. If you are using your own VPN or one of the
commercial VPN services already integrated into the Kodachi dashboard, no
hardware ID information will be sent to the server.
Please note that when using any VPN, whether it’s the Kodachi VPN, a
commercial VPN, or your own VPN, the IP address is sent to the server.
This is part of the TCP/IP protocol and is necessary for establishing a
secure connection. However, you can enhance your privacy by utilizing a
double VPN setup. This involves using a VPN on your host machine and
connecting through the Kodachi VPN. In this configuration, the VPN will
send your host machine’s IP address, rather than your ISP-provided IP
address.
The collected hardware ID and connected IP address are solely used for
the purpose of identifying and taking appropriate action in case of
bandwidth abuse or complaints related to hosting torrent files. If such
cases occur, a permanent ban from the VPN nodes may be enforced.
To further protect your privacy, the VPS nodes used for the VPN service
are periodically wiped and replaced, ensuring the maintenance of a secure
and private environment.
Kodachi is primarily designed for anonymous surfing and is not intended
for heavy daily file and movie downloads. If you believe you have been
mistakenly banned, please contact me via the provided communication
channel Discord and provide your Hardware-ID for further investigation.
Please remember that you have the option to use your own VPN or select
one of the commercial VPN services already available in the Kodachi
dashboard, which allows you to enhance your privacy and security without
sending any hardware ID information to the server.
* Kodachi nodes are highly secure, as I personally utilize them, and TLS
authentication is enabled across all nodes. Additionally, to ensure
privacy and security, I regularly destroy VPS nodes and create new ones.
This process effectively wipes out all logs and provides users with fresh
IPs, enabling a private and peaceful internet experience. The combination
of strong security measures and regular node rotation contributes to the
overall robustness and anonymity of the Kodachi network.
* Kodachi nodes are located in Netharlands, France, Germany for encryption
I use:
1. cipher AES-256-CBC
2. tls-cipher TLS-DHE-RSA-WITH-AES-256-GCM-SHA384:TLS-DHE-RSA-WITH-AES-256-CBC-SHA256:TLS-DHE-RSA-WITH-AES-256-CBC-SHA:TLS-RSA-WITH-AES-256-CBC-SHA

* ‘Where To Start?
The Dashboard is amazing! It gives you control of your VPN, TOR, DNS,
Kill Switches, Ipv6, radio Signals and Updating the system! I came to
Kodachi Secure OS from Windows with little or no knowledge of the Linux
kernal! I resisted moving to Win11 because I have 100’s of old games and
software I would run on Win7! but with Windows becoming spyware I did not
feel safe running those old apps! So if I am giving up my Old apps I
needed to learn what is out there to replace them that is open source and
most of all FREE! The developer has done a great job in assembeling the
most frequently used open source software that one might need to have on
their system to make it usable daily! There is also a tutorial video on
how to use Kodachi to remain secure online! I really loved that Kodachi
has support for several VPN’s out of the gate! I use NORD myself since I
have never found a free VPN that is Worth anything! They Scare me since I
don’t know who is looking at my DATA! The layout of the Dock and the
Desktop are condusive to a productive work flow! I have tried other
distro’s but settled on this one because of the Dock, Dashboard, and the
support for NORD. I installed it to my hardware but it can be run from a
USB flashdrive or even a disk without modifying you systems harddrive at
all! Give Kodachi Secure Operating System a try! There is a new version
on its way built on Debian! So keep your eyes open to catch all of the
GREAT Releases from the Kodachi team!
KvnLSms’
* ‘After the support for Windows 7 ended I tried Windows 10. I found it to
be bloated and quite simply just SPYWARE! So my search for a replacement
begin! I tried Linux Mint but could never get it to stop leaking my real
IP address! finally after trying several other distributions I came upon
kodachi Secure OS! The big seller for me was the support for several
VPN’s built right into the OS, including kill switches that terminate
your connection if for some reason you drop your vpn connection! With the
implementation of the new dashboard things got a whole lot better! You
can control your VPN, Kill Switches, TOR, Exclude The 14 eyes countries,
DNS Control, Spoof your MAC Address, Disable IPV6, Disable Radio, Spoof
Time Zone, Set random Host Name, Control USB Devices, Auto Recover
Internet Connections, And SO MUCH MORE all from the well thought out
Dashboard! With the ability to run as a live OS right from your
flash-drive there is no reason not to download it and give it a spin!
After 3 years I do not miss the MALWARE Called Windows At ALL! The XFCE
desktop is customizable by going to the XFCE-LOOK.org website. Kodachi
comes loaded with just about every program needed to make it a DAILY
DRIVER right out of the box! So upgrading with a fresh ISO is no problem!
But the dashboard has an upgrade button on the settings tab in the
Security Dashboard if you have it installed on you physical hardware!
Simply Put This is the best security based Distro on Distrowatch!
i Love the fact that negative reviews from this site are responded to
quickly!! Way To Go Warrith!!
As Always a BIG THANK-YOU Goes Out To DistroWatch.com For Supplying Us
With Tons Of Distros to download try and review!
The Kodachi Website is Digi77.com where you can find instructional
videos’
* ‘Wow! When You Think This Distro Could Not Get Anybbetter Warrith Comes
Through Again! This Version Has A Option To Randomize Your Hardware ID! I
Guess Warrith Is Reponding To The Sniper Who Gave His Distro A 1 Rating
Out Of 10! So Now Besides VPN Support Built In and Timezone, Randomized
Host Name, TOR, DNS, Keystroke Anonymizer, Font, Icon, Screen Size, etc.
This is the absolute best Distro to use as a daily driver if you want to
stay anonymous while you play around on te web! It Also Provides A Way To
Turn It All Off So You Can Use It With Your BANK or any other website
that you must Provide A Real IP address!! The upgrade option in Panic
Room Tab in the security dashboard! I strongly suggest that you go to
digi77.com and watch the instructional video! Thank you Goes Out Again To
This Amazing Website that Has Allowed Me To Download And Try So Many
Distro’s From Around The Globe! Since this disto uses the XFCE desktop
you can go to xfcelook.org and download several themes to customize the
look and feel! With all of the preinstalled software that comes in the
ISO you can really get your work done without having to spend an hour
downloading the FOSS that you will be installing anyway! 10 Out Of 10
Great Job Warrith!!!’
* ‘What a WONDERFUL Distro!!!! A secure OS that is suitable for everyday
use! Support for VPN’s including some free ones! Comes bundled with Libre
Office and tons of other FREE and Open Source applications! Kill switches
for VPN’s, TOR, DNS, and your Security Score etc. Nuke option on
encrypted HD setup so you can delete the encryption keys and wipe
EVERYTHING! The ability to turn off the anonymous services so you can
access your bank accounts or other sites that require you to show your
REAL IP ADDRESS ! You can turn off all the radio signals and restrict it
to the wired connection! You can spoof your time zone, select a random
host name, fonts, icons, keyboard strokes! All of this that can be run
without even installing Kodachi on your physical hardware ! It can be run
from ram which makes it amazingly fast even on ancient hardware!
Cons = The audio requires me to go to the settings tab every time I
reboot and set it to my HDMI output.
You can not change the user name if you want all of the security scripts
to work !’
* ‘If your looking for a secure distro that is good enough to be your daily
driver then look no further! Kodachi comes loaded with a ton of FOSS that
make it the best distro to migrate from the spyware called Windows or
Mac! Free VPN provided but with support for NordVPN ,Mullvad, Hideme VPN,
Proton VPN, and others! Nuke feature to scrub all Data, and Kill switches
for VPN, TOR, DNS, IPV6 and More! Live-OS Lets you try and run in RAM A
Must Try For 2022!’
* ‘Love this distro! It looks great and has support for VPN’s built in! The
Kodachi Dashboard is the best as it is super easy to understand! The NUKE
option if installed on an encrypted drive is really neat! Do not be
scared off by these snipers who want to decrease it’s score! I’ve been
using it since version 7.6 and have had no problems at all. In the
dashboard you can change how receives the IP address info and customize
the DNS providers, TOR ,VPN kill switches etc. XFCE desktop is super easy
to customize and there are tons of themes to download!
It is laid out with productivity in mind! It comes with the most popular
FOSS applications preinstalled so the package count is larger than a
striped down OS! But if you are going to download and install them anyway
why does that matter?’
* ‘Best available Linux distro by far.
Pros:
Cutting edge GUI
Flawless hardware recognition on my Dell and HP laptops.
Extremely low RAM usage. Clean boot RAM use 800mb
Flawless install. Easily install alongside other flavors.
Cons:
None so far’
* ‘Probably one of the most beautiful distros now.
I am a long time die hard user of Ubuntu and having used Mint, Manjaro,
MXlinux, Tails etc ,but Kodachi is definitely most beautiful. The Kodachi
Dashboard is just wonderful GUI with everything pre built at your
fingertips but light weight same time… hard to explain.
I didnt watch the instructional video and within minutes was able to set
up and customize the pre installed NordVPN which was very intuitive. You
can see alot of thinking has gone into this distro. The Desktop is clean
but with useful Conky style data. No wasted data, all clear and concise.
There is even a panic room GUI which has everything at your fingertips
from daily use features to even emergency wipe etc.
I am really thinkig of using this as my daily driver instead of Ubuntu
now. Kodachi just feels so smooth and clean. There is all the programs I
need like synaptic package manager etc and pre-built VPN and TOR and i2p
features.
Its hard to explain how good it is. Best try the live iso yourself first.
I recommend this to all people who are looking for a fresh daily driver
and or those who also want access to security features at your
fingertips. This distro should be top 10.’
* ‘After trying several distro’s from this amazing site. I have settled on
Kodachi Secure OS! The Dashboard is the big seller for me! I watched the
very long instructional video at digi77.com! I Suggest skipping ahead to
the 19 minute mark to learn about VPN’s and how to configure your VPN
connection! Then Skip forward to about 59 minute mark to learn about all
of the Tor options. But if you have the time watch thee 2 hour long
instructional video! It comes with great themes installed but the XFCE
desktop can be tricked out to resemble any OS out there by simply going
to the XFCE Eye Candy Website! The preinstalled programs make it possible
to complete just about any work that you might need to do! From video
editing, sharing files or just to keep notes! The Support for NORD VPN
built into the system was also a big seller for me! I have tried other
distro’s but this is the only one I found that gives you multiple layers
of security! With kill switches built into the dashboard that will
protect you if for some reason your connection becomes compromised! I
love that it can be tried without making any permanent changes to your
system by running it from a live boot flash drive! Synaptic Package
Manager lets you install countless additional programs along with Gdeb
Package Manager you can install all the games or other apps you might
desire if you are installing it onto the hardware! This Latest Distro’s
have an upgrade button in the about tab on the Security Dashboard! Thank
You distrowatch! I Do Not See Myself Going Back To Windows or Mac OS
Which in my opinion has become SPYWARE and in some cases Malware! But
Yall Dont take my word for it! Download the ISO file and burn it to a
flash-drive with your favorite program like Etcher or Rufus etc. and boot
your PC from it!’
* ‘The most amazing and secure distro I have tried so far! After watching
the instructional video at digi77.com The Security dashboard is
fantastic! It is so easy to keep track of how secure your internet
connection is! With scripts that block your connection depending on your
security score! it has a free VPN as well as support for paid VPN’s! Tor
built into the system with 14eyes exclusion options as well as a way to
torrify your entire system! Thank You goes out to digi77.com and of
course DistroWatch.com Which has made it possible to try so many distro’s
from around the entire world!’
* ‘The best distro. Quit being tracked. There needs to be a mobile OS
deployment for everyday use. That would be fantastic.
Kodachi Linux is an Anon’s dream come true.’
* ‘Wonderful job done by digi77.com! Security dashboard, Free vpn, Support
for several paid vpn’s including NORD, Loaded with tons of productivity
FAOS programs! Thank you! When 7 lost support so Microsoft could become
an agent for the US government Including openly interfering with our
political process I FIRED MICROSOFT! This distro is easy to use as it
uses the XFCE desktop which is similar to good old windows 7!!! You
Should give it a try since it can be run from a live USB Image!!!’
* ‘I Love This Distro! It has Support For Several VPN’s Built Right In
Along With A Dashboard to Handle Security Scripts!!! I Have version 7.6
Installed on My Old Dell With A Q6600 Core 2 Quad and an old ATI graphics
Card! On My I3 Samsung Laptop I Have Version 8.2 And On My HP Laptop With
An AMD APU I am running Version 8.6 or Whatever The Latest version is As
Of 8/28/2021’
* ‘Absolutely An Operating System To Try! I Have This Version Installed On
My Desktop and Versions 8.2 and 8.6 Installed On my laptop and Notebook!
Has Support For Several VPN Providers as well as a security dashboard
that makes it simple and safe to use!’

Linux is, in simplest terms, an operating system. It is the software on a
computer that enables applications and the computer operator to access the
devices on the computer to perform desired functions. The operating system (OS)
relays instructions from an application to, for instance, the computer’s
processor.
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic
analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and
privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.
dnscrypt-proxy provides local service which can be used directly as your local
resolver or as a DNS forwarder, encrypting and authenticating requests using the
DNSCrypt protocol and passing them to an upstream server.
VPN is a network that is constructed by using public wires — usually the
Internet — to connect to a private network, such as a company’s internal
network. There are a number of systems that enable you to create networks using
the Internet as the medium for transporting data.
Use root only if you have to to login as super user – If you use root user as
the user name most of the functionality won’t show up! password for root is:
r@@t00 –> Please notice that the 00 is (double zero’s)

Hi, I tried to launch kodachi for the first time today, in general, a
problem with the wireless network. Wicd doesn’t find wifi network. I
tried the “repair network”, but it didn’t help. Wifi adapter exactly
works, why can’t find the network I don’t know. (broadcom)

Use the normal network manager if u have to use Wicd then click on
refresh button to see the wifi list.

If you are using only the web ( Deep web) then VPN + Tor if you are
using other applications (chat, wallets) that may leak your VPN ip then
VPN + Torrified system

Hi Warith. I have a problem and do not find a solution.
1. With rufus I created a usb stick with your distro on it. Under windows.
Stick working fine. Boots, starts up, have working kodachi.
2. After startup of kodachi I did the offline installation by that desktop
button. After process was finished stick did not work and not boot. 3 more
attempts the same result. Same results with the online installation.
Do you have any idea, what I am doing wrong or simply missing.
I would like to have a permanent installation on usb stick for my
notebook.
Cheers
Jhh
* Warith Al Maawali
July 23, 2019
1- Could be the flash size is small for it to fit 30GB for permanent
install should be ok.
2- Try to separate the live USB from the destination USB see if it
works.
If none of above works then I don’t know what could be the reason u
should go for persistence option u will be able to save files on live
image.

* Jhh
July 24, 2019
Sorry I was not clear enough. I use two sticks. The rufus live kodachi
and second free empty to be installed on. Both are 64 GB in size. And
on the second, for the full permanent installation, I let kodachi
erase everything. So from my understanding it is like fresh out of the
box. But it does not boot up and a check under windows shows no file
system. Any more ideas?

Hi Warith, first of all thank you for your great work, I appreciate very
much your help to the community.
I am running Kodachi 6.1 and I am trying to install winehq-stable:i386 but
it is really difficult because of Kodachi. I’ve followed all the
instructions of the winehq website but nothing works. I always get error
“Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages”. I have tried
to “fix the broken packages” but the system doesn’t found anything,
everything is correct. I tried with apt, aptitude and synaptic without any
success.
I have installed winehq-stable:i386 in a clean ubuntu 18.04 and it works
like a charm, easy peasy!
Could you give me any advice?
Thx!

Thank you for your help, but it does not work either, I have tried
everything a lot of strategies…
I need wine to run some own applications developed by me that can only
run on windows systems. Without wine I need to boot Windows some times
in order to run those applications. It is just a matter of
convenience…
I will try again or wait for the new release to come up and check if
it works, meanwhile I can do as explained.
Thank you for your support!

Hi, I install Kodachi on VirtualBox and always have the same problem: the
network doesn’t connect itself. It usually requires to push the Repair
Network button a few times, and even so I normally have to reboot or
change my network config on VirtualBox or whatever (but doing that the
problem isn’t permanently solved anyway). I like Kodachi and when it works
it’s amazing! But I have many problems for making work.
I also tought on install all the Kodachi’s software on a regular Linux
virtual machine, but I don’t know if that it is possible o how to do it.
Would thank any help!

Hello, i use kodachi vpn and force all trafic via vpn and all ok, but i
want to go on paid vpn.
When i set and start hidemy vpn,nord vpn – forcing all trafic via vpn does
not work, maybe do you know some method to solve this problem?
* veritas
June 1, 2019
Hi Warith I am having the same problem as Max.
I am using nordvpn and sometimes I will be able to force all traffic via
vpn (ip,port,interface,protocol)
This is not consistent though and I will sometimes be able to connect
with internet and other times no internet.
When the force all traffic via vpn (iptables) is not connecting to the
internet, what should be done to connect to internet with the forcevpn
firewall? I have tried repair network, restarting computer, restarting
DNS, get new random mac, sudo apt-get update/sudo apt-get upgrade,
regenerate openssh, restart vpn, update vpn, restarting router, choosing
different vpn countries, all with no results
I have also tried this:
block all internet -> disable network devices -> allow all internet ->
enable network devices
after i can’t connect to the internet through forcevpn firewall,
randomly I will try it later and it will connect just fine. i just can’t
seem to figure out the variable of what fixes the iptables.
any help would be really appreciated. being able to use nordvpn -> force
traffic via vpn -> connect to internet is very important and i would
like to learn how to solve this.
Thank you Warith.
* Warith Al Maawali
June 10, 2019
Make sure the widget shows you new ip of Nordvpn before you force the
net via VPN. Once you have new ip then force via ip only if things
work fine allow all traffic then force via ip,port ..etc.

This problem is not only yours. I also watched it like this when
stuffing configuration settings from paid vpn. At the same time, the
connection is established to the required server without any problems,
but in the widget there is a notification of my final IP – I don’t know
where to dig at all, maybe it was all done initially for another purpose
(personal gain or violation of personal space). All is doubtful!

Hey Warith! VERY nice work on the distro. I was surprised, however, when I
didn’t find IceCat (gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/). Also please consider
these add-ons for the kodachi browser:
– NoScript
– LibreJS (reason: gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html)
– Canvas Defender (reason:
multiloginapp.com/how-canvas-fingerprint-blockers-make-you-easily-trackable/)
– PeerName (for the blockchain domains)

Hi Warith. I think it’s great if you’re making a light version variant
in the next release! Can I suggest also implementing librefox. also
for a light version could be better to have few programs for a single
purpose, like one image viewer. For example Pix or Xnview MP seem
good, they are also music/video players besides being
imageviewers/filebrowsers. There are lighter versions of gimp and
openshot too(pinta, mypaint, kolourpaint for images and pitivi for
video).

Good day Warith!
I need ur advice.
I`ve got persistence encrypted set up on my VMware.
After clean installation I checked green “Software Updater” button and
when everything was up to date, I rebooted the system as well.
Right from mentioned above moment I discovered that my “update-notifier”
on my command panel (icon in the form of a shield) shows me that I got
some problem.
On my next step I followed suggested link and find out that “Gnome Online
Accounts is required to enable Livepatch.”, but Livepatch switcher was
disabled, and there was additional information “Livespath is not available
for this system”.
Pls tell me what do I need to do?

Hi Warith
Thank you so much for creating this spectacular linux distro.
It has truly improved the quality of my daily life so much.
I am still new to linux and have a few questions:
How do I setup my system startup so it starts with my nordvpn?
Then turn on the vpn firewall so traffic is forced through vpn
(ip,port,interface,protocol)
Then torified system is turned on. (automatic) turn on -> nordvpn ->
firewall -> torified
Right now my system turns on with my firewall (no internet) then goes to
torified without turning on vpn.
turn on -> firewall -> torified | I have to turn off everything and turn
on the right sequence.
I would like to make the proper sequence automatic, how do I achieve this?
(automatic) turn on -> nordvpn -> firewall -> torified
Also how to encrypt my swap partition? Is this recommended?
Also one last question, how to I move the conky boxes and change the color
of the text from green to custom?
Thank you Warith for all your time and effort.
We are all deeply indebted to you and we will soon repay the favor.

It has truly improved the quality of my daily life so much.
– You are most welcome
I am still new to linux and have a few questions:
How do I setup my system startup so it starts with my nordvpn?
– Just click on Nordvpn if Kodachi is installed it will be your default
on next boot up
Then turn on the vpn firewall so traffic is forced through vpn
(ip,port,interface,protocol)
– Just click on it on security services if Kodachi is installed it will
be your default on next boot up
Then torified system is turned on. (automatic) turn on -> nordvpn ->
firewall -> torified
Right now my system turns on with my firewall (no internet) then goes to
torified without turning on vpn.
– If you keep system torrified and you boot up it won;t see your
internet becuase ip will change and you will be block u will have to
disable torify and clear firewall to get it back.
turn on -> firewall -> torified | I have to turn off everything and turn
on the right sequence.
I would like to make the proper sequence automatic, how do I achieve
this?
(automatic) turn on -> nordvpn -> firewall -> torified
– It has to be step by step if you automate it u might get blocked
Also how to encrypt my swap partition? Is this recommended?
– Panic room then click on Storage tools and select number 9
Also one last question, how to I move the conky boxes and change the
color of the text from green to custom?
– You need to change files in /home/kodachi/.kbase/ .conkyrcx

the sistem, in just opening some window or use some app, even
without connecting the internet, in some like 4 or five minutes,
the sistem freezed as I described. Well. I tried starting Full ram
mode and even didn’t load the s.o. Then I went to the advanced
safe mods,”Noapic” did not load the s.o, nor the second mod(I dont
remember which mod is it). Then I tried the third one mode,
NOMODESET…and surprise!!!…it worked fine!!!. Don’t know if this
could be usefull as information, but my laptop can’t run Tails,
because of the GDM error. For some AMD proccesors the Tails guys
recomend to insert nomodeset in the start. But did not work for
me. It’s great you included this in Kodachi And by the way,the
estetic of Kodachi desktop is wonderful. Congratulations and
THANKS!!!

Thank you yes I agree if you face issues with Kodachi always try
the advance fail safe options on bootup and for you Kodachi
NOMODESET worked

May 15, 2019
Don’t know if my answer reached your site. Didn’t see the
moderators automatic message. All in all, the problem was not
Kodachi browser. I tried advance safe mods, and worked the third
one, NOMODESET. Thank a lot for include this option in Kodachi.
And thanks for your time and wonderful s.o!!

Hello, add virtualbox or VMware at your discretion.

VMware is recommended to run Kodachi but if you want me to have it on
the Distro this will make the ISO so big.

April 23, 2019
yes there is really no need for vm program on kodachi IMO. Also I
would leave just pidgin as a messenger and keep only firefox as
browser

On the desktop, in the status records, the system is write that VPN
firewall:no, how to enable it so that all traffic goes only through vpn?
Now when I turn on the vpn gate, the system writes that the vpn is
connected to the location, but when i check ip in browser, i see my own
ip, not from vpn.

On the desktop, in the status records, the system is write that VPN
firewall:no, how to enable it so that all traffic goes only through vpn?
– Go to Bottom menu – – > Security services – > Force traffic via VPN
Now when I turn on the vpn gate, the system writes that the vpn is
connected to the location, but when i check ip in browser, i see my own
ip, not from vpn.
– If VPN ip is same as ur ISP it means that VPN node has issue of
Vpngate Kodachi will disconnect u and find another one which works
automatically.

Hello! I apologize for the stupid questions but still help me solve some
of the difficulties that have arisen to me. (maybe I will learn something
from you).
1) problem with the Russian language, I click install / remove languages,
select Russian and click apply. further loading and installation takes
place, and at the end the Russian never appears in the choice of
languages. (reboot does not help).
2) just help me install vmware or virtualbox. (I have a bad knowledge of
all this)
* Warith Al Maawali

For keyboard then no issues but if u want to change layout try the
following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install $(check-language-support)
sudo apt install language-selector-gnome
From application menu go to settings language support and add your
language then drag it to be top of the list then apply system wide
logout and login to the system.
For keyboard changing issue a reply from another Kodachi user:
Right click on the keyboard language selector, choose “keyboard
settings” then go the third tab, layout, and in there you can see
multiple languages…
There is a bug which makes it so the language selector constantly
reverts to the first language in the list…
So: choose the language you use mostly and change the order for it to be
the first one in the list instead of picking directly, else you will get
this problem constantly!

Any plans on allowing user creation while still allowing access to all
features?
I would have no problem running this on my primary computer if I could
create users
and had everything copied over from the kodachi user.
I tried copying the files from the kodachi user but seems to have
something hard coded.
I did replace all references to /home/kodachi but still getting errors.
Thank you!
* Warith Al Maawali
April 19, 2019
With 6.0 you should not have a problem user name is not hard coded u can

really impressed with Kodachi for reletively normal user just having a few
issues
1:Have 20Gb ram and whilst on start using 800Mb this rise to say 13.5Gb
before crashing over say 7 days, all I am using is the firefox browser
bundled with Kodachi
2:being asked for login keyring password when I never set one and unable
to view/change in password settings
apologies if these are noob questions but I have searched…..

Which version are u using ?
* muzuxejipa
April 5, 2019
Hi, what could be the reason for this problem during installation
Enable System Nuke
Creating backup of header file will be saved in:
/home/kodachi/Desktop/header-backup
Press any key to continue…..
Device /dev/sdb5 doesn’t exist or access denied.
Now you will be asked for a password that will be used to encrypt or
restore your header file
Press any key to continue…..
enc: Cannot open input file /home/kodachi/Desktop/header-backup, No
such file or directory
enc: Use -help for summary.
Your header backup file has been encrypted and saved in:
/home/kodachi/Desktop/header-backup.enc copy it to a safe place you
will need it if you need to restore the headers of your encrypted
system
Press any key to continue…..
Now first you will be asked for a your normal kodachi encryption
password (The one you enter at bootup time) then you will be asked for
the Nuke password that if entered it will trigger to destroy kodachi
if forced to reveal your data
Press any key to continue…..
Device /dev/sdb5 doesn’t exist or access denied.
Tell me what am I doing wrong?

Hi Warit Al Maawali! I really liked your Kodachi creation, very cool!
But, I have a connection problem (ssd-vbox portable-install kodachi) (NAT
connection)
Sometimes the network connection is automatic, sometimes the network needs
to be repaired in a panic room, sometimes nothing helps. Permanently
(confidentiality security-internet is not active)
I collected a lot of information in Google, I almost learned Linux (LoL),
but I did not find a solution to the problem.
I repeat, SOMETIMES Kodachi connects without problems, and this confuses
me.
I will be very happy to receive help from a specialist like you.

Hi! I was exploring Kodachi 6.0 and i was really surprised. it actually
did what i expect for privacy but it disapponted me as well in various
aspect. First i encountered it’s a bit laggy sometimes it freezes for few
seconds i would like to mention that i’ve updated all drivers and software
even though it happens. Another thing is that it only offer xfce by
default as it based on xubuntu. It would be great to have it on another
Desktop Environment like Mate, KDE & LXDE and different base like Debian
and Arch.
* Warith Al Maawali
March 20, 2019
Thx, I wen’t for XFCE so its lighter MATE and other means more resources
to be used!. I went for Ubuntu to get better support of Drivers. Please
install Kodachi if its very slow in Live mode it will be faster when
installed for sure.

……
…..
except the hardware ID (hash) and connected IP address (VPN IP) that has
to be sent automatically when your PC establishes a connection to the VPN.
* Warith Al Maawali
March 20, 2019
Well you can fund the project and pay for the VPS nodes that are
provided for free by then I won’t have to block users who missuses the
VPN bandwidth and I won’t need the hardware ID either.
Second option use any of other VPNs provided and your Hardware ID won’t
be sent most of them are not for free.

Hello! First, thanks for your work! You best). I have problem kodachi
(6.0) is extremely slow. My system settings are RAM 4gb, AMD A4-3400 APU
Radeon HD 2.70 GHz. I reed “On some old PC’s boot up could be slow so
better use noapic option from the grub menu” – it does not help. Only
upgrade help? Maybe there is another reason for slow work?
*(i burn iso kodachi 6.0 on USB Flash)
* Warith Al Maawali
March 17, 2019
You are most welcome
Kodachi being slow this could be for so many reasons one of them could
be drivers compatibility have you tried Panic Room – Install drivers ?
I would also try to load the live iso with diffident settings when you
boot try to select different items from the advance fail safe menu one
by one until you get it right.
I would also run htop command to see what process is eating my cpu (
System apps – htop )
Note that Installed Kodachi is 4x faster if not more than the Live one !

السلام عليكم
greetings from Algeria
thank you so much for your work and efforts
while i was using HexChat in kodachi i got banned
after i looked it up, i found this:
“PLEASE do not abuse the Tor network! Many IRC servers outright block all
Tor connections due to ban evasion and repeated offenses. The Tor Project
does not condone this behaviour, nor is it very kind – please be
considerate of your fellow Tor users!
Some larger IRC networks require users to register when they connect for
the first time. Unfortunately, many also block Tor connections due to spam
and bots, and this can cause legitimate Tor users to have their
connections constantly denied. However, if a user were to connect without
Tor first to perform registration, then their anonymity would already be
compromised. This is not dissimilar to the classic ‘chicken and egg’
problem. In most cases this is only an issue for initial registration, and
SASL can be utilised to authenticate before any other part of the
connection afterwards. Regardless, users should never connect without Tor
or choose the “Bypass network proxy” option or similar on any clients.
Solution 1: Exit-node cycling
If a Tor exit-node is blocked or denied by an IRC server, the easiest
solution is to cycle exit-nodes until you are connected to one that is not
blacklisted. This may take some time to perform, but is the most secure
option.
Solution 2: Psuedo-anonymous chaining
Warning: This should only be done for registration. Chaining proxies and
VPNs after Tor long-term can reduce your anonymity in a number of ways.
The (albeit significantly less safe) alternative is using a free VPN,
reflector, proxy or other pseudo-anonymous connection method to register
an account. Ensure that the system only attempts to connect to any of
these options via Tor, and always prefer to use SSL to connect to the
destination IRC server. Unfortunately, very few other viable alternatives
are available.”
so can you propose any solutions?

which is provided to you, I do not collect ANY data or store ANY
information (Logs) that belongs to the user except the hardware ID

automatically when your PC establishes a connection to the VPN. This
information will only be used to banned you from the VPN nodes if
you have abused the bandwidth or I received complains of hosting
torrent files. If that is the case you will be banned permanently
Kodachi is provided for anonymous surfing and not for heavy daily

mistake please send us your Hardware-ID via contact us form and yes

Hey Warith! Amazing job mate, kudos for all your work.
Got a question, how can I remove the crypt wallets? I’m not interested

Looked in /opt also, so, is there an easy way to remove them?
Cheers.

They are hidden in secret place

2. sudo rm -f -r /usr/lib/jaxx/
3. sudo rm -f -r /usr/lib/mymonero/

Hi,
two preinstalled tools are required if not yet existing on the initial

I means it should be useful to have :
1) Remmina to remotly be able to help family with they own computer
problems : https://remmina.org/
2) RicochetIM as anonymous instant messenger : https://ricochet.im/
I do not know if Kodachi also use it but it should be great (not saying
better) to also integrate the use of Firejail and Apparmor to natively use
them as sandbox for required contexts.
Sincerely thank you for Kodachi distibutin.
Have a nice day.
* Warith Al Maawali

If you are facing issues such as you can’t login after logging out or if
you type http://google.com it appears like this g66g3e,c60 then you Num
lock key is on u have to switch it off I re-uploaded version 6.0 today
11/2 it will turn Num lock off automatically on boot up to solve this
issue.
How did I solve it ? simply run this command:
1. numlockx off
If you want to check if you Num lock is on or off run:
1. xset q | grep "Num Lock"
Or just download version 6.0 again if you downloaded it before 11/2/2019

could you please add penetration testing tools with kodachi? It would be
the best i am currently using parrot os but if kodachi where to have
these tools i would move over, any time i try adding these tools the
wifi stops working im not sure if its an update causing the wifi card to
not be read. but what happens is when i fix the issue of the card then
when i attempt too connect to the network i think it cant obtain an ip
address as its constantly seeking to connect indefinitely. also the
touchpad wont select items either i have to use the button. this only
happens when i add these tools.

Kodachi is defensive OS if I add penetration testing tools it means I
invite backdoors to the system which defeats the entire goal to
protect your privacy Parrot and Kali are offensive operation systems
therefore use them for pen testing

February 15, 2019
i know that but but not all tools invite backdoors anyways just a
thought as i know 100 percent that this distro which i enjoy very
much would get a lot more attention if it had some penetration
testing tools they can teach you a lot more about how to be
defensive than some might think.

Is it possible to run a Live version on a 32Gb USB stick and have the
remaining space (~30 Gb) as a encrypted persistence? How do you do it?
I know it is easy to do in Tails, but in Kodachi I cannot find a way to do
it…
* Warith Al Maawali
February 11, 2019
Encrypted persistence is not possible for now I explained why here
https://www.digi77.com/software/kodachi/Kodachi-Log.txt. Persistence is
possible instructions are here https://www.digi77.com/linux-kodachi/. If
you must have encrypted USB then install it on your USB with LVM on this
is possible during the setup.

Hi there, some code to block remote commands installed in

I tride to turn on the VPN and only then the torify, repair network,was
loaded noapic. did not help. screenshot of my connection model

There is a suspicion that it all started after I used Virtualbox/Windows
and set up a VPN in it.

From the photo is its correct all u need to launch kodachi web browser
and you will get 100%. Better don’t use virtual box with Kodachi use

i have already tried many times to enable persistance storage and i
followed every single step to enable it but everytime i boot up linux
kodachi it doesn’t has any of the file or configurations i made in the
past session, what do i do? please i need help. I already put the 4GB file
into the root folder even tho it’s still inside the zip file but i don’t
know if i have to unzip it or what.

January 29, 2019
Have you gone through instructions here
https://www.digi77.com/linux-kodachi/
It says “Burn the Kodachi ISO to the flash once completed all you need
to do is extract one of the following files and place it to the root of
the USB you just burned 1 GB – 2 GB – 3 GB – 4 GB”
Why would u want to do it this way just use the beginer way with
Universal USB Installer instructions here
https://www.digi77.com/linux-kodachi/
* Warith Al Maawali
January 29, 2019
Ok I found something that works try to use Universal USB Installer
https://www.pendrivelinux.com then u will see how its done here a sample
of its output:
1. # This Menu created with Universal USB Installer https://www.pendrivelinux.com
2. default 0
3. timeout 0
4. color NORMAL HIGHLIGHT HELPTEXT HEADING
5. foreground=FFFFFF
6. background=000000
7.
8. title Boot swdl
9. set ISO=/uui/kodachi59per.iso
10. find --set-root %ISO%
11. parttype (hd0,3) | set check=
12. set check=%check:~-5,4%
13. if "%check%"=="0x00" partnew (hd0,3) 0 0 0
14. if NOT "%check%"=="0x00" echo ERROR: Fourth partion table is not empty, please delete it if you wish to use this method && pause --wait=5 && configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
15. partnew (hd0,3) 0x00 %ISO%
16. map %ISO% (0xff)
17. map --hook
18. root (0xff)
19. chainloader (0xff)
20.
Then syslinx.cfg would have
1. Default grldr
2. Label grldr
3. Boot grldr
I booted fine with above on my flash drive !
* dup
January 31, 2019
no go yet. Even the usb made by pendrivelinux does not boot on uefi.
Chandloading to grub.cfg in the iso produce the same error:

Is lupin-casper present in your iso’s?
* Warith Al Maawali
February 1, 2019
Is lupin-casper present in your iso’s nope is it needed ?
– Nope its not I did’t know about it I am from debian background I
am used to live-boot not casper
– I will add lupin-casper on next release let me know if there is
any other packages that I need to add ( Any one who knows about this
let me know )
Currently I am stuck on enabling encrypted persistent USB I did all
the changes but still it won’t ask for password at boot up at all !

I am still trying to boot the kodachi iso from harddrive with grub, but
still no luck.
Used different grub parameters but still getting this error:

Is for notebook where the usb ports are blocked.
* Warith Al Maawali
January 29, 2019
Can u give more details?
Which version of Koadachi ? ur PC config ? Is it live mode not working
or live works fine ?
* dup
January 29, 2019
All versions after kodachi 3.7.
The kodachi iso is on hdd directory /iso
Kodachi 3.7 used to boot fine a live session.
My grub for kodachi 5.8:
menuentry “kodachi” {
set isofile=”/iso/kodachi.iso”
search –no-floppy -f –set=root $isofile
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile}
findiso=${isofile}
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
* dup
January 29, 2019
no usb involded. The iso sits on the harddisk in directory /iso.
Grub can boot iso images. But latest kodachi won’t.
* Warith Al Maawali
January 29, 2019
Also check here let me know if any changes would help that what I
use to build the iso
https://github.com/WMAL/bodhibuilder_2.18.x_all
* Warith Al Maawali
January 29, 2019
Do you mean that this entry
1. menuentry “kodachi” {
2. set isofile=”/iso/kodachi.iso”
3. search –no-floppy -f –set=root $isofile
4. loopback loop $isofile
5. linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile} findiso=${isofile}
6. initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
7. }
Works only for 3.7 but not 5.8 ? If that is the case if u find a way
to make it work please share it I will include it for u on 5.9 as an
option

Hi. I am still using version 5.7. As a suggestion, I would change
vokoscreen for simple screen recorder. Although I have not use vokoscreen
in kodachi, simple screen recorder seems to work very good in this
distribution and probably more lightweight than vokoscreen (I have bad
experiences with it in parrotsec).
Just personal opinion though, still need to test voko in kodachi.
In any case, would there be a change you could consider adding mullvad to
the list of vpn providers? It would be awesome if we could use it in a
similar way you did with protonmailvpn, but I think although maybe it
could be somehow a bit of abuse for some, I know for sure many would love
to use the 3 hours ticket, although question remains as how to change of
server reliable through linux and openvpn…
Electron wallet was in my mind since I have use kodachi, great addition.
* Warith Al Maawali
January 25, 2019
Time to move to 5.9 soon
Please try vokoscreen on 5.8 I tested with no issues let me know if you
face issues with it.
Let me know why mullvad would make a difference we already have 3 well
known providers so I can contact them.
What do u mean 3 hours ticket is it a service by Mullvad ? Oh I got it
its a good idea 24 h would be better

on line see what message you get I think it should work after that …
Which version fo Kodachi are u using ?
* mkjna
January 27, 2019
I using kodachi 5.9
Installing drivers in this way does not help.
* Warith Al Maawali
January 28, 2019
Latest Kodachi version is 5.8 I try from settings -> additional
drivers
* Simeon
February 4, 2019
Mostly I say about mullvad because… your vpn got a bandwith limit… and
vpngate does not work always reliable… and protonmailvpn at least in
free version got many ips blacklisted and eventually you can get
trouble with it.
In such sense mullvad got a huge list of servers in different
countries with the 3 hour ticket. So that´s mostly it.
* Warith Al Maawali
February 4, 2019
I have contacted them but no reply so far I will do it again later

Maybe you could consider adding mupdf as it is very lightweight pdf reader

Hi,
Using 5.6 live without persistence. I noticed that Thunar (no root) cannot
show thumbnails of pictures. After boot, there is already a
.cache/thumbnails/normal folder only accessible to root
If I delete this folder, Thunar starts showing thumbnails even as a no
root user.
I also noticed that the other file managers dont ave this problem. It
seems they use another folder for thumbnail cache.
Is it only me or am I doing something wrong?
* Warith Al Maawali

Thank you for reporting this bug it will be fixed on 5.7 for now try
this to solve it:

Hi Warith. Great great distro and great version aswell. Only issue I find
is I am not able to work vpns with password username. I tried mullvad,
protonmail and a few other lesser known free vpns to no avail.
What can we do? Any change to be able to use openvpn through cli without
the gui (currently openvpn is killed everytime you try to do manual clis
connections to vpn through openvpn).
Have happy christmas.
* Warith Al Maawali
December 28, 2018
Try to have one vpn ip in your config file if proton has register dns
then disable it. Kodachi 5.7 will have proton VPN builtin one more thing
with proton vpn The plain user + password one won’t work you need the
encrypted once get them from https://account.protonvpn.com/settings
You can also share your config so I check it
For manual vpn that won’t be killed try to execute the following
command:
1. echo "Disabled" > ~/.kbase/vpntype
On version 5.7 Disable VPN will set the above for you which I forgot

I have installed today the new version 5.6 (I was using 5.5), so I don’t
know much about possible bugs (performance is great rather than with 5.5
>) ) but I encounter a small problem only.
I have try to use protonmail vpn, free version which seems to be a good
vpn provider and… it does not seem to work.
I added the -auth-user-pass myownvpnauth.txt- line to the file
-myownvpn.ovpn- and then I change the -0- of -myownvpnauth- aswell to 1
and added my username and password to my -ownvpnauth-
Udp servers seem to fail and raise a constant attempt to connect. Tcp
servers do work somehow… but wrongly…
https://i.imgur.com/lax68WP.png -> It says it connects however it does
not. The ip in there is not my own and neither the one of the vpn server.
So no idea about why kodachi states it is connected to this france ip.
So not sure what to do to be able to connect to protonmail free servers
right now…
Any idea appreciated.-.3.

Hi,
I love the latest version. I know that it is not possible to have all the
applications in the Live Version, but I would suggest to add FSLint. Its a
fast and very useful duplicate file searcher.
I know I can add it from the Package Manager, but it is annoying to do it
everytime I need to…

I have noticed an insane amount of cpu consumption added since version 5.3
to version 5.5
Specially when using browsers. A 2×2 cpu getting 80% cpu consumption with
2 tabs opened XD and when iddle sometimes 30% to 50%.
Do you know any reason to this behavior?
* Warith Al Maawali
December 12, 2018
Strange no I did not notice that except during first login time its
takes time for cpu to settle .. please check the browser by
about:performance and see what is causing it and let me know..
* Warith Al Maawali
December 14, 2018
I found out the reason this should be fixed in 5.6
* Henry
December 14, 2018
Firefox about:performance do not show a thing. I think the problem is
related to lsof command which is being invoked constantly and
consuming 30%-50% at times (and just in one instance only, sometimes
there are two or more lsof commands consuming each 10-15% at least).
I am using 2×2 i5 2.53 and although distro is usable I can´t do
everything (example, firefox, videogame, virtualbox is a no go while
before I could do it in 5.3,5.2 etc) as I could before and a few times
only I got freezes (because cpu got too much usage guess lsof).
* Warith Al Maawali
December 14, 2018
Yes lsof is one of them it will be fixed in 5.6 but main reason is
the conky refresh rate thank you for letting me know about it

Is running Kodachi on VMWare safe? If I run it with windows as a host
system will I risk that data can be stored in windows swap?
I believe that booting live from a USB Flash is much safer. Or am I wrong?

Yes booting form flash is much safer but VMware is also safe if you

Own vpn does not work by following the instructions unless the vpn do no
ask for password and username.
I just added auth-user-pass myownvpnauth.txt to
/home/kodachi/Own_VPN_Config/myownvpn.ovpn and then I wrote the 1 and the
username and password inside myownvpnsetup but still never connects at
all.
By the way, website shows mywonvpnauth.txt instead of myownvpnauth.txt. I
suppouse it´s a typo.
What could I do? I just love protonmailvpn.
* Warith Al Maawali
December 8, 2018
Oh I have misspelling on the script it self thank you for pointing out
this will be fixed in 5.6 for now password file fow own vpn must be in
the same wrong spelled name which is: mywonvpnauth.txt in order for own
vpn to work
Let me now if it works with u

Hi,
I want to use a 64Gb USB Flash to as a live kodachi system. But I want to
use the ‘free space’ on the flash drive after ‘burning’ the iso as a
persistence I could mount on kodachi. Is this possible? How ?
* Warith Al Maawali
December 8, 2018
sorry persistence is not possible at the moment but u can install
permanently on the flash drive

thank you very much for what perceive as a whole lot of WORK!
Win 7Pro, 64bit 16GB Ram on Vmware…
I read somewhere to backup VmWare, folder C:/Programs but did’t so when I
allowed VM to update, it totally got rid of all my 5.2 few settings, and
so I did an upgrade to 5.3, but still cant see any of the words in the
graphs located on the desktop, and even worse, I couldn’t get to my usb,
dvd, or external HHD, to upload my Linux magnifier. LOL!
Since “Places” didn’t reveal any external drives, usb, or sd cards, I had
ALL connected, but no way to get the terminal codes to connect to the
devices without getting into the devices.
My fault, not to much coding for my yet…. tho, but I did’t have any
problem with Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Pepperment, WattOS, ParrotOS, Tails or
Kali or many many others, to see the connected devices, or to get the
drivers to install from them.
I was running 2GB than tried 4Gb than 6GB ram on newest VmWare with
updated Tools and had nothing but erratic mouse movements and delayed
action on icons, links and buttons. I did get the fonts in the Menu large
enough to read them (at 22 Font) but never the graphs.
Sorry, I’m not complaining since most, if not all, problems is form
inexperience on my part, and not your excellent work.
Well thank you again for Jaxx on my suggestion, and the rest of your great
work / OS.

Any way to solve constants falls in dns crypt? It reverts itself to a temp

annoying. I am in 5.3 although this also started to happen to me in 5.2
after a few days.
Maybe I got a temporal bomb?
* Warith Al Maawali

Temp dns will be on only if internet is lost (trying to recover it self)
if u have stabe internet that won’t happen so often.
Version 5.5 will not have google DNS for sure !
* Erik
December 6, 2018
I got this problem but I think I found out why. Apparently my router
needs to connect often to my pc to maintain connection else I loose
access.
In particular I need to change a rule so that my computer can connect
to 192.168.1.1 which would be my router ip, this way I can use force
vpn traffic only (if I try otherwise I loose connection and vpn falls
after a few mins 1-15 mins).
And in regards to dns crypt falling they are probably as well temporal
falls in internet (example, public wifi where internet is meant to use
particular dns settings) I hope!
Warith, can you tell me where is the script to add the rule so my
reuter ip is allowed in ufw/gufw when I click in force vpn?
* Warith Al Maawali
December 6, 2018
Yes for force over ip only execute this command
1. xdg-open /home/kodachi/.kbase/forcevpntraffic
For force over ip,port ..etc execute this command
1. xdg-open /home/kodachi/.kbase/forcevpntrafficall

* ManuelRicardo
December 4, 2018
No. This happens in persistent mode, version 5.2.
I get if I use firejail I could get, maybe, ths… but it happens
constantly even when in the desktop without changing anything…. guess
it’s time to have wireshark and fiddler constantly running > O
* Erik
December 6, 2018
I have find out why!
Right click on the keyboard language selector, choose “keyboard
settings” then go the third tab, layout, and in there you can see
multiple languages…
There is a bug which makes it so the language selector constantly
reverts to the first language in the list…
So: choose the language you use mostly and change the order for it
to be the first one in the list instead of picking directly, else
you will get this problem constantly!

Greetings, dear Warith Al Mawal.
The description of version 5.3 says…
«All connections to the Internet are forced to go through the VPN the Tor
network with DNS encryption.»
That is, first the traffic goes through the VPN, then the traffic goes
through the TOR. So if we look at the outgoing IP address at whoer.net
using a normal (not tor) browser, we will see the address of the output
node of the TOR.
However, in reality everything works differently.
* Warith Al Maawali
November 28, 2018
Nope that is not right you should see the IP of your VPN connection not
the Tor connection unless you switch on the Tor proxy

thanks, but is is an other approuch:
i have the kodachi.iso on the harddisk (/dev/sda2/iso) in a dir called
iso.
So I want to boot this iso from grub with loopback.
The old kodachi is was no problem:
menuentry “kodachi” {
set isofile=”/iso/kodachi.iso”
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live config findiso=${isofile}
nomodeset
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
}
this worked very well.
The new ubuntu 18.04 is also no problem:
menuentry “ubuntu” {
insmod loopback
insmod iso9660
set isofile=”/iso/ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso ”
loopback loop $isofile
set root=(loop)
gfxpayload=keep
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz auto=true boot=casper
file=/isodevice/iso/ubulive.cfg iso-scan/filename=$isofile
locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us netcfg/choose_interface=auto
netcfg/get_hostname=ubuntu noprompt toram rw–
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
But the new kodachi is booting, but complaints about /dev/sr0 not
found and after a bit, (initramfs) unable to find a live medium
containing a live file system
* Warith Al Maawali
November 26, 2018
Honestly when it comes to boot options I struggle myself try this
but I am not sure if it will work!
1. isohybrid kodachi.iso
if it didn’t work then try
1. isohybrid --uefi
* dup
November 26, 2018
seems these are syslinux options
* Warith Al Maawali
November 26, 2018
Yes because you said old versions worked with u the only
difference with the new version is I used xorriso to build the iso
the old once I used isohybrid so could be the reason!
* dup
November 26, 2018
i always was able to boot the old kodachi iso’s with grub. Never
used syslinux.
But maybe I can chainload syslinux within grub?
* Warith Al Maawali
November 26, 2018
Yes try and let me know if it works with u
* dup
November 27, 2018
chainloading with:
menuentry “Start Syslinux” {
set iso=/iso/kodachi.iso
loopback loop ${iso}
set root=(loop)
chainloader (loop)/isolinux/isolinux.bin
syslinux_source (loop)/isolinux/isolinux.bin
syslinux_configfile (loop)/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
}
brings me back to kodachy grub with the /dev/sr0 not found errors
* Warith Al Maawali
November 27, 2018
Have you tried the isohybrid command on the iso ?
* dup
November 27, 2018
Yes try and let me know if it works with u
i m not an expert, how do you do that?
(ps reply buttons are gone)
* dup
November 27, 2018
Ok, did that but not working.
It seems that casper-premount cannot foud any live filesystem.
Also pointing to casper with live-media= and live-media-path=
gives no solution.

November 23, 2018
Thanks for the updates. Is there some way to prevent Kodachi from sending
the hostname “kodachi” to the router? (In Tails there appear no name).
* Rimin
November 23, 2018
Hmm at least since a few versions back the name sent is Secure-Os and
beforehand you could change the name (called hostname).
What Warith told was not to change the username as it was used by
scripts so scripts would be non functional if you changed the username.
You can change your hostname by writing hostnamectl in terminal.
* Tarik
November 23, 2018
Is there any way to use sudo along with the torrified terminal? The
idea is great although unfortunately the option do not work with some
commands specially when you need sudo.
* Warith Al Maawali
November 25, 2018
Not for now as Tor is limiting it to current logged in user. However
I have found away to torify the entire system traffic I am still
testing it to include it in Kodachi 5.4 then u will be able to use
normal torified terminal with sudo:)
* Warith Al Maawali
November 23, 2018
Hi Albert,
I checked tails it has amnesia as host name for live version.
As Rimin stated Kodachi on installed version will have Secure-OS as host
name unless it is changed during setup. In your case i think you mean
the live version host name which is kodachi I will fix this in next
release to be Secure-OS-Live
For now to solve your issue please execute the following commands on
terminal:
1. sudo sed -i -e 's/kodachi/Secure-OS-Live/g' /etc/hosts
2. sudo sed -i -e 's/kodachi/Secure-OS-Live/g' /etc/hostname
Then run:
1. sudo service network-manager restart
Or fast one try this:
sudo hostname Secure-OS-Live
You can replace Secure-OS-Live above with what ever you wish.

Note I have disabled user and password login feature from version 4.2 if
you want to login with user name and password after installation run the
following command:
1. sudo sed -i '/kodachi/d' /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-xubuntu.conf
2. sudo gpasswd -d kodachi nopasswdlogin
If you want to enable autologin again run the follwoing command:
1. sudo sed -i '/kodachi/d' /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-xubuntu.conf
2. sudo bash -c 'echo -n autologin-user=kodachi >> /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-xubuntu.conf'
3. sudo gpasswd -a kodachi nopasswdlogin
Drivers hint:
I have missing drivers how to install them? No worries connect the device
for example: HP printer then simply go to panic menu click on Install
Drivers icon .
114. Warith Al Maawali
November 22, 2018
If you have downloaded 5.3 before 22-Nov-2018 please re-download again
because I have fixed a bug to do with force traffic via VPN to verify you
have the latest version of 5.3
1. md5sum kodachi-5.3-64.iso

on 5.2 i still need to skip downloading files in order to get installed
* Warith Al Maawali
November 19, 2018
If you login to Kodachi and click on offline Installer on your desktop
that problem won’t happen … It seems you have chosen to install from
the boot up menu in that case you have to disconnect from internet for
the installer to work without skipping
* guy
November 19, 2018
ok, got it.

I have installed it but upon first boot after installation the
computer shuts down. After new boot kodachi runs well.
Had this on two installs already.
* Warith Al Maawali
November 19, 2018
Yes that is normal I have mentioned that on Install instruction on
Kodachi page
Once you have boot from the installed system it will do some
background work on first boot only then it will shutdown you will
have to boot it again this will happen only once after successful
installation of Kodachi.

of kodachi using your vpn?
* Warith Al Maawali

No it will kill the bandwidth to verify that u got the right file with
out modification just right click it and select Kodachi md5sum and
compare the value with the one on the website.
* Bob
November 15, 2018
Hi Warith, I’m curious as to what are the important steps that should
betaken before browsing tge web in kodachi? What can be added to these
steps – dns crypt, vpn on, tor on, dns leaks check, java off in
about:config( if I don’t turn it off panopticlick shows 1 in 2000000
uniqueness of kodachi browser), disable browser fingerprint?
Also, I haven’t checked the about:config settings of kodachi browser.
Do you think something like ghacks-user.js can be added to kodachi in
the future or firefox can be set to best configuration on install?
* Warith Al Maawali
November 16, 2018
Hi Bob,
VPN -> Tor > Dnscrypt should be fine additionally you have noisy
crawler to add noise to the traffic .. In my case I run Kodachi on
VMware and the host (Windows or Linux) has different running VPN
service from different country different provider of the VPS then
Kodachi run its own VPN on top of it.
I tried to install ghacks-user.js with Kodachi browser on my test
lab and the results are as the following:
21.3 bits of identifying information. Kodachi browser without
ghacks-user.js
18.13 bits of identifying information. Kodachi browser with
ghacks-user.js
I will only need to make sure it won’t break any of the installed
plugins or browsing experience if things are ok I will include
ghacks-user.js on next release which will do the job of changing
about:config settings manually.
Thank you

Someone is hacking my computer even when using a live cd or live usb but
most problems happen when I install the OS to the hard drive to the point
specially the entire dns system stops working.
I have solved the problem partially with the force vpns issues by doing a
bash script I found in the internet like this
sudo ufw default deny outgoing
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw allow out on tun0 from any to any
sudo ufw allow out from any to
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw status
sudo openvpn client.conf &
Then just bash nameofscript.sh and first I start the vpn by using the
script of your distro or simply by starting openvpn through terminal as
normally.
The other part of the script to stop it is
sudo ufw disable
sudo ufw status
sudo kill `p -ef | grep openvpn | awk ‘{print $2}’
But the third line does not work (I am still a newbie and this
cybercriminal who attacks my computer constantly no matter what internet
connection I use is basically making it difficult for me to go on studying
anything. The noisy crawler probably bothers him right now though XD).
Salutes.

Hello,
You don’t have to type all of those commands just click on force all

connected to VPN before you run it.

November 14, 2018
But my problem is: Whenever I connect to vpn, afterwards the button
‘force all connections through vpn’ barely ever work, with this script
though, it tends to work. I suppouse by now, it’s because someone is
hacking my computer remotely (I get issues in other distributions
aswell) for no reason.

folder encryption is disabled because entire disk encryption is
enabled however I will look to enable it again.
* Warith Al Maawali
November 15, 2018
I found out the home encryption is disabled for this reason:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1756613
* KodachiUser
November 17, 2018
Besides, some ssds do not tolerate encryption to the point they
can get damaged, so encryption should not be added by default as
only option because of this reason.

I am happy to announce that #Linux #Kodachi 5.1 has been released today I
hope you all like it
Version 5.1:
Based on: Debian 9.5 Xbuntu 18.04 LTS
Kernel: 4.18.0-11
System: 64bit
Release date: 09.11.2018
+ Added Noisy crawler
+ Added Synchting file transfer service
+ Added Tenta DNS
+ Added Opennic DNS
+ Added Boot type on Desktop display Legacy or Uefi
+ Added system persistence or not status on Desktop display
+ Added Iridium-browser
+ Added Waterfox browser (Kodachi browser is based on Waterfox now)
+ Added language-selector-gnome so you can easily change language layout
– Removed Chromium (Iridium-browser replacement)
– Removed Firefox (Waterfox replacement)
– Display changes with logo replacement
! Fixed Dnscrypt display
! Fixed VPN disconnect status
! Fixed Kodachi installation script
! Fixed force all traffic via vpn script
! Fixed few bugs on connectivity script
Pending issue to be fixed in future:
%- Kodachi browser is not supporting Tor onion URLS you can use Tor
browser for that.
%- Kodachi can boot from Legacy + UEFI as live image but if you want to
install it you have to boot from Legacy mode so persistence mode is not
supported in UEFI boot for now.

hello friend, I tried to install kodachi from version 5.0 and now the
last 5.1 permanently in a 32GB USB memory but I get an error at the end
because of the fact that it does not recognize the memory either by the
format, something else and apologize which is the form that must have
the usb memory to be able to install it or it will be that because it
does not upload a manual of installation and configuration of
linux-kodachi thanks.
* Warith Al Maawali

Boot your PC in Legacy mode then try to install it if you try in UFEI
mode it won’t boot up after installation.

Hi there, you should add protection against rever engineering, such as
controlling the cpu in distance, like locking fanspeed or to help delete
unknown ram page in the hardware, or to block unknown chip set at
harddrive (as physical hacking)
* Warith Al Maawali

Excellent ideas but you have not mentioned the tool names please
provide the names so I can do the research.

Hello my friend. This an amazing OS. I thank you very much. For me the
UI is quite fine but as I am showing to friends who prefer Deepin. Can
this be altered to Deepin Desktop?
And in saying that is Deepin desktop secure? Been hearing rumours of
spyware and such. Thank you again!
* Warith Al Maawali
November 10, 2018
Hello,
Yes you can switch to Deepin after installing it but it won’t be as
fast as XFCE check the votes of both desktops here

Hello Warith. I was wondering why did you choose waterfox and not
icecat. Icecat is more often mentioned as the best firefox replacement
ant version 60 was recently released. But It’s just what I’ve read, you
probably know better.
* Warith Al Maawali
November 10, 2018
Hi Bob,
Choosing waterfox over firefox and icecat was based on users request
also when it comes to firefox plugins waterfox supports most if not
all of them where in icecat its not the case. Please checkout this
discussion. If you have diffrent opinion to switch over icecat please
share it.

Hi Warith, your Kodachi is a great distro, I love it and I change half of
the Backbox with your good script in .kbase. So, I had some problems with
the installation on HD in the prevoius version ( installation forced to
finish, overheating CPU, and lost apt.list on rebboot). I will try again
with the 5.0. Please include Waterfox in the next release, and thanks for
all.
* Warith Al Maawali
November 7, 2018
Nice maybe you could share your changes on the scripts if you made them
better. Kodachi 5.0 has problem with installation on UEFI enabled system
you can only install it if you run the bios in Legacy mode.
I don’t think I i will be able to fix this soon however 5.1 will have
much more improvements.
* r4ss
November 7, 2018
Oh… the main change was to unplug Tor from the Kodachi VPN into
.systemhealth, so I can use the distro without abusing your band and
run only my own VPN (Riseup) with/without Tor. Nothing extraordinary,
also I just adapted all conky and cairo conf to work on Backbox,
include DNS proxy (adding too Open DNS instead Comodo). Fine and
pretty work. Hope I can soon install Kodachi in my HD (wait for 5.1
release). Have a nice day and thank you again
* Warith Al Maawali
November 7, 2018
Nice work I am glad to see someone sharing their customization of
Kodachi all the best
5.1 will be out soon but it can only be installed in Legacy bios
mode I am stuck with UEFI it won’t boot after installation will see
in the future if I can solve it.
I tried to boot linux mint on UEFI after installation it did’t work
as well
127. Abd al-Uzza
November 6, 2018
Hmm Version 5.0 seems to fix many problems I encounter in last versions…
Thank you!
I would add as suggestion this: add a switch so conky updates or not the
ips (as checking ips uses commands which in certain situations could
stress the network to have a switch would be really cool!). Not sure how
would be better to implement it though…
As a small bug I changed the language and I got it changing back to
default english multiple times… I am not sure why though… if someone elses
get this just here someone elses letting you know. Thanks.
* Warith Al Maawali
November 6, 2018
Thank you,
If you stop ip retrieval it will make VPN and tor not to function
properly as they intended to have those Internet ips. Refreshing rate is
once every 45 seconds which I think it is acceptable for just a simple
string. System will triger immediate refresh request if you click on any
of the icons that requires new ips like vpn dns ..etc
I also fixed few bugs on that script that u will notice on 5.1
For the language if you mean keyboard then no issues but if u want to
change layout try the following:
1. sudo apt update
2. sudo apt install $(check-language-support)
3. sudo apt install language-selector-gnome
From application menu go to settings language support and add your
language then drag it to be top of the list then apply system wide
logout and login to the system.
I tried it there is no bug except I did not include
language-selector-gnome which will be included in 5.1
128. Ahmed Saleem
November 6, 2018
Please fix the force all connections to go through vpn… everytime I do
that vpn falls or simply can´t browse at all and it´s a very important
feature.
Please add tenta dns with dns crypt support.
Thank you
* Warith Al Maawali
November 6, 2018
Thank you for the feedback,
Tenta will be added on version 5.1 for force vpn traffic I will try to
fix it.
129. Warith Al Maawali
November 5, 2018
Ok I have to confirm the following:
Kodachi 5.0 can work on the following conditions:
1- Live ISO Legacy
2- Live ISO UEFI for USB Flash image use etcher
https://www.balena.io/etcher/ or rufus http://rufus.akeo.ie/
3- Legacy persistence install.
Kodachi 5.0 won’t boot on the following condition:
For UEFI persistence install it does not work so u need to change your
bios to boot in legacy mode.

October 29, 2018
is there anyway to install waterfox & remove firefox,i tried various ways
with no luck & im sick of disabling firefox about:config settings to be
more privacy respecting ect, 4.3 version sometimes freezes using 100% cpu,
this never happened on 4.1 (cpu t8100)dual core is this processor not
enough for the os ?.
* Warith Al Maawali
October 30, 2018
If you remove firefox you will loose Kodachi browser with all its
privacy features (not recommended). However if you really know what you
are doing then follow this
# Remove firefox or ignore the following command to have Waterfox with
firefox in one system.
1. sudo apt remove firefox
# Installing Waterfox commands i tried it on Kodachi 5.0 and it worked
without uninstalling firefox
1. echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/hawkeye116477/waterfox-deb release main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
2. curl https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=hawkeye116477 | sudo apt-key add -
3. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install waterfox
Note Kodachi 5 will have Chromium web browser pre-installed
* r4ss
November 7, 2018
Hi Warith, your Kodachi is a great distro, I like it but I had some
problems with the HD installation on the previous release (
installation forced to finish, overheating CPU and lost apt.list on
reboot). I need Kodachi in my HD, no just usb-live, so I will try to
installate it again with version 5.0. Please, add Waterfox in the next
release and thanks for all.
Great work!
* Warith Al Maawali
November 7, 2018
Thank you,
Maybe you should wait for 5.1 with waterfox in it
* jon
October 31, 2018
thanks warith,waterfox now installed on kodachi 5.0,i got to say this
version is a vast improvement,running great,the only thing is & i dont
kmow if its a bug but the os wont shut down,it goes through the process
everything ok except failed unmounting cdrom.mount then it refuses to
shut down. ok power button to shut it down its still my favorite distro,
have you looked at a open source privacy tool called noisy,i dont know
much about it apart from the fact its claims to make retrieved data
unusable,well beyond me, but you might find it usefull.
* Warith Al Maawali
October 31, 2018
You ar emsot welconme,
Regarding Waterfox if I recieve more requests to included it will be
there by default on next releases.
For the shutdown issue I am assuming you ar talking about the live
version of Kodachi, Normally it should give u a message to remove CD
rom just ignore it press Enter and it will shutdown (If u install
Kodachi u won’t see the message) .. In case you reboot from live yes
we have a bug I u will need to shutdown then start again for it to
detect the cdrom and boot Kodachi.
For the tool you mentioned please pass me the link so I have a look at
it.

* Warith Al Maawali

Can KodachiOS boot from UEFI or just legacy BIOS?
* Warith Al Maawali
October 30, 2018
It boots on both UEFI (Black screen) and legacy BIOS (Grub image)
* Albert
November 3, 2018
Kodachi 5 boots only in BIOS, how can I get that it boots on UEFI
too?
* Warith Al Maawali
November 3, 2018
It boots on both UEFI (Black screen) and legacy BIOS (Grub image).
May I ask How did u transfer the iso to USB which software did u
use ?
* Albert
November 4, 2018
I used some programs, including the Offline installer from Kodachi,
but today I tried Etcher and it finally worked on UEFI. By the way,
maybe you could add this DNS to the list, it supports DNS over TLS
and DNSSEC: https://tenta.com/dns-setup-guides
* Warith Al Maawali
November 5, 2018
Thank you, I will look into them Albert if they are useful I will
incluse them by default on next release.
* Warith Al Maawali
November 10, 2018
Albert,
Could you explain how you got it to work with Etcher to have
permanent install in UFEI mode? I tried it and I still get the
empty grub command line

Hi! My friend, i have one quastion.
If I on kodachi vpn, on TOR and used kodachi browser with on Browsec –
What route I have?:
1. PC – kodachi VPN – TOR – Browsec VPN
2. PC – kodachi VPN – Browsec VPN
* OK
October 26, 2018
Hi
You can try all variants: PC – VPN –Tor, PC – VPN – Tor – VPN, but the
main problem is Kodachi VPN!
Before this VPN is activated, anyone who would target you (NSA, FBI,
CIA, Interpol) knows your true IP, and is also known by Mr. Warith Al
Maawali and his VPN !!!
What kind of trust do you have in this person? Do you know him
personally? No!
If one of you is visiting Tor through illegal websites, it’s his
problem, but Kodachi is a very bad choice in this case !!
Do you know what software Edward Snowden is using today? Qubes Linux.
And why?
Try a moment to think.
Anonymity and safety are not free and never trust anyone!
Bye
* Warith Al Maawali
October 27, 2018
Thank you,
Please ask Mr.Edward not to tell what he is using because then he can
easily be targeted
* duportail

Use your own vpn. You can get vps+openvpn for less than 4USD/month.
Once your vpn is in place it will start automatic
* Warith Al Maawali
October 30, 2018
I agree if you can get your own
* Warith Al Maawali
October 27, 2018
If I on kodachi vpn, on TOR and used kodachi browser with on Browsec –
What route I have?:
You will have PC – kodachi VPN – Browsec VPN which means you lost Tor
layer on your secure chain and that is bad ! Use Browsesec only if you
need a proxy because its not a VPN its a proxy and Tor is much more
secure and private than a web proxy system.
133. Warith Al Maawali
October 23, 2018
Ok I have to make it clear that I miss understood the requirement of
persistence mode ! I always thought it meant to have permanent
installation on a media. No I came to find out what does it mean I will
try to have persistence mode on version 5.0 sorry to tell you until
version 4.3 persistence mode is not available but you can still install it
if you want to with encryption enabled as well.

Hi
I have a problem.
Kodachi in Virtualbox – Full resolution in full-screen mode is not
possible.
Whonix in Virtualbox – no problem.
Why?
Thanks
* Warith Al Maawali
October 21, 2018
Don’t use Virtualbox i faced issues with it as well as it deoesn’t like
big ISO. Use vmware player its fee stable and very fast Kodachi runs
smoothly on it.
* volumuar
October 21, 2018
Yes, i have a problem on virtual box too.
Thanks for telegram. But his secure is questionable.
* Warith Al Maawali
October 21, 2018
Yes it was questionable for a while but since they have improved and
also they added end to end encryption by using secret chat please
check this they deserve a credit.
https://www.eff.org/node/82654
and ( See why Russian blocked it)
https://www.csoonline.com/article/3273344/privacy/what-is-telegram-and-is-it-secure.html
* Иван Вотенцев
October 23, 2018
Yes, I know that Pavel Durov does not issue correspondence and
encryption works. But it gives out ip address on request within
the law or at the request of the court. For example, if you create
an account or a bot – ip address can be issued to the authorities.
If you used Tor+vpn – may be it is not problem.
* Warith Al Maawali
October 23, 2018
Well as you said that’s the point of being behind a VPN your real
ip is always hidden not sure if it allows you to set socks5 proxy
within it if that is the case you can also use Tor with it.
Thank you for your input
* Jan
October 22, 2018
Hi
Thank you for answer.
I also tried Vmware but there were other problems.
I think I’d rather stay at Whonix, this is a professional software and
I do not have to wait 15 minutes before I connect to the Internet.
Your system needs a lot of fine tuning. Activation of your VPN takes
too long and why Kodachi browser has probably all possible extensions
but Noscript does not have the most important one. And there are more
problems. I will not write all.
Good luck then
Thanks

shows on my desktop, browser, documents etc. I installed kodachi on two
different usb’s with no change.

Does the line show one desktop as well ? So strange on web browser its
normal until you load a page it will disappear. It would be nice if
you provide me with a screen shot of the issue.

October 20, 2018
Version 4.2 users in order to have a smooth update (No hangs) you have to
disconnect from internet. Start and continue the installation without
Internet everything will run as expected.

not have login screen after installation if you intend to have a login
screen enable it from settings.

Hello, there is a really big problem. I’m from Turkey, so that means I
have a Turkish keyboard layout. When Kodachi locked or loged out I have
to enter the username and password right, but when I’m trying to press
“@” symbol (Alt gr + Q) there is nothing happening. So I can’t login
again. There is one way, just restart the system again. Because there is
just one option (en_us utf8) in the greeter screen. You need to add a
localisation screen at the starting like Tails, I think It would be
great.
There are two more problems I want to express The touchpad click is not
working. I’m not talking about two buttons at the bottom side of the
touchpad. I’m talking about touch cliking. It’s not working.
And the last one is clock. When I open the “Orange Global Time” app from
App Launcher > Office, the sysstem clock has been changed. Changed to
back. I thought it would be fixed if I restarted it, but it didn’t
fixed. I noticed later that It’s because BIOS time has been changed. I
did this process again for confirmation, and it happed again.
So, however. I discovered this OS today when I’m looking around
Distrowatch and I loved it! If you fix thee problems (especially the
localisation problem) I will definitely continue to use. Keep up the
great work.

For the keyboard its based on US so to type @ press shit and number 2
– I will solve this on version 4.1
“There are two more problems I want to express The touchpad click is
not working. I’m not talking about two buttons at the bottom side of
the touchpad. I’m talking about touch cliking. It’s not working.”
– This could be a driver missing problem

– You have to set the time zone for your country and it should give u
the correct time :). How ever next version I will have ntp installed
with one buttin time sync for the system clock

Hello again,
1) Thank you.
2) I used too many Linux distros and my touch clicking were OK.
Maybe you’re right, it could be a driver problem.
3) Yes I know if I set the time zone it will fixed. But this is not
what supposed to be. The clock should not change because I ran the
application.

Current Kodachi release needs update. To make it work now, I did the
following:
1. Installed to Flash Drive. Configured BIOS to boot from USB
2. Once booted to Kodachi3, updated all packages with Synaptic Package
Manager, and rebooted
3. To work around this version Torbrowser-launcher bug, edited Tor Browser
link in bottom Cairo-Dock by changing “Command to launch on click” from
torbrowser-launcher to
~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser
4. Since I dual-boot with Windows that sets local time to BIOS, I edited
in Terminal with ‘sudo nano’ the file ‘/etc/adjtime’ by changing line UTC
to LOCAL, and saved to keep Debian hardware clock in local time as Windows
does. Then select your local timezone in Terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure
tzdata
5. Click on Tor Browser shortcut in Cairo-Dock, and it launches Tor, click
Connect
6. To use tor with Kodachi browser, change SOCKS 5 port to 9150 in Manage
Proxies – Tor – Edit on the browser toolbar, then open Tor Project site to
check connection.

Kodachi own VPN not very reliable i wanting to use my own. I have placed
the config file NordVPN provides and edited the line for the
auth-user-pass to say auth-user-pass auth.txt i then start my own VPN and
wait 1min, then i messages says its connected sucsesfully but then when i
check the VPN status it gives an IP address that is not correct and seems
to have just connected to the default VPN Kodachi provides.
If anyone can help me send me an email to MrlinuxMan@outlook.com

This is also happening to me. I have Kodachi installed on a Virtual

problem involving the command (gpg –homedir
“$HOME/.local/share/torbrowser/gnupg_homedir/” –refresh-keys –keyserver
pgp.mit.edu ). I was able to update properly the first time but when I
closed TOR and opened it again, it had to update again. I did this many
times and it will always ask for update. I am wanting to install Kodachi
permanently with TOR updated permanently so that I dont have to update
everytime I use Kodachi.
Every 15-30 minutes my TOR and VPN both get disconnected and my TOR
sends me this message: “TOR has
I am also unable to verify the MD5 Checksum because I get an error
message “Error, Could not calculate Checksums: Access to the Path

from my program called “MD5 Hash Check4dots V1.0”
I am using Windows7 with a Virtual Machine, I followed the instructions
for a permanent installation of Kodachi and it installed with success,
but these are my problems and reasons why I can’t use kodachi. I would

This is very frustrating if trying to work on something for a long period

estalished one. Pretty sure I saw other commentors saing that same thing
too. Before I go invest in a new VPN do you have any input on this? if I
cannot get it fixed then ill probably have to switch to another distro
which would be a shame because i love the features of Kodachi.

Do you want a full install onto a USB or would you like an ISO/Live to
USB? I have done both. If you boot a live disk in a dvd Tray you can
install to a USB no problem. If you would like the ISO on a USB as a
live Boot ISO I used rufus to get it working. The USB will not boot in
VirtualBox but works perfectly on Machine Startup. Also if you burn with
Rufus on windows you can then access this partition through a live boot
disc using Gparted and shrink said partition on the USB. This frees up
space to then create other partitions. I use this to have a Truecrypt
partition and i am now trying to setup a Persistent partition on the
same drive. A normal Windows computer will not be able to use any of the
space on the USB for storage but in my case that does not matter.

When I use my own VPN I often have to click “Allow all traffic” before my

force all traffic via VPN.
What are the potential vulnerabilities of clicking “allow all traffic” as
well as forgetting to click “force all traffic via VPN”?
* Warith Al Maawali
May 7, 2017
Force All Traffic via VPN will allow only VPN Traffic to pass through.
Allow All Traffic means that if you get disconnected from VPN provider
your traffic will be not be stopped it will be sent with your real ISP
IP so the answer to your question enabling Allow All Traffic will leak
your real IP only if the VPN connection gets dropped.

April 26, 2017
1) is it possible to install a persistent version on my hard drive as a
hidden OS using Veracrypt?
Yes you can if you are using VMware or Virtual Box
2) If i use my own VPN then what configuration settings do i need to
change to ensure no DNS or real IP leaks occur incase the VPN drops?
DNS leakage prevention is isolated from our VPN it should be on by
default even if you use your own VPN.

any word on when the next release of kodachi will be?
having issues with tor connecting.
how do you choose the correct hour so it is not stuck at “loading network
status”
* Warith Al Maawali
April 10, 2017
Fore now to be able to fix Tor update run the following command before
starting tor browser:
gpg –homedir “$HOME/.local/share/torbrowser/gnupg_homedir/”
–refresh-keys –keyserver pgp.mit.edu
Alternatively use Kodachi Browser its based on Tor and you don’t have to
go through update process
Next version hmmm no specific date but If I get free I will work on it
for sure

Hi, I would like to get Tor update to be permanent in my USB disk, as I
always have to wait 30-40min before being able to use it. I’m not talking
of installing on HDD or VBox with its related persistence. Just want to be
able to update some things and then “update” the live version files to use
them. Is there any possibility to do that? Any idea, suggest?
Thanks for your work. Appreciate.

You should be automatically connected if you are using wired connection
you only have to configure the wireless credentials if you are using
wifi. Try Kodachi on Virtual machine first using virtual box or Vmware.

New to Linux and working my way to be 100% open source. I installed it
onto my HDD, I know the risks. Still less risky then Windows 10.
Very nice of you to provide a VPN but I want to use my own and trying to
set it up.
You keep saying “Paste your own VPN config . . .” but I have no clue what
you mean by that. What information is needed? I pasted the “Hostname”
address into it. That did not seem to do anything.
If I was on Ubuntu I could follow the steps with the “Network Manager”
gave to me by my VPN service provider.
What information do I need in the “My_VPN_Config.ovpn” file? How do I set
up the information? Separate the information commas? Does the order of
information have to be one way or another?
Thanks Warith for all you do.

Pro tip for your .ovpn file which is found on your vpn’s website. might
have to do some digging. usually found with trying to install your vpn
but choosing your linux OS instead. then there should be a link to
download all the .ovpn files.
Here is where the protip comes into play. Drag and drop the auth.txt
file into terminal and you will see the path it takes. Copy the path and
paste it right next to the line that says auth-user-pass then add this
without the parenthesis (‘) so it should look something like this or
this exactly
auth-user-pass ‘/home/kodachi/Desktop/Own_VPN_Config/auth.txt’
I used the method in the instructions and it did not work for me.
Now all I need to figure out is why my Tor is stuck at “Checking for Tor
Browser update Downloading update check”
Any word on when this will be addressed? Or am I doing something wrong
because I did follow the directions and this has been a very frustrating
venture.

– ISO Grub4dos Emulation

How can I solve this problem?

* Warith Al Maawali

Dear Doruletz,
As far as I know ISO Grub4dos Emulation should work because Kodachi is
based on Grub.I really have not tried it my self so I am not sure why
its not working with you. I would rather install Kodachi on a separate
flash drive using Rufus

January 16, 2017
Hello, I’m planning to run Kodachi on my dual screen monitor setup. It’s a
single graphics card and I use the dvi (second bus) and vga (primary bus..
because adapters). The primary screen will be the dvi. When I run Kodachi
from the USB it boots and shows a desktop on the second screen while the
primary screen stays off. What’s the easiest way to make it recognize the
primary screen which is on the second bus of the videocard? Can I create
an xorg.conf and will it be saved for when I load the OS another time? I’m
not too familiar with Xfce desktop. I’ve seen the gnome desktop in linux
mint for example automatically recognize all monitors. It would be sweet
if Kodachi would work in a similar way. I’m planning on using it on this
pc only, but it would be nice if I can load the USB on another PC with one
monitor and still be able to run it without reconfiguring X. Thanks

purposes, everything ok, but I faced an issue which is when I try log in
with my user/pass I created before, it keeps log me out and return to the
login screen, I’ve tried to log in with root, it works. how could i solve
that issues without reinstalling again, thank you..

As instructed on installation guide you should not have changed the user

Hi, first of all great work on this distro! I hope you can provide some
help on an issue I’m having. I have not been able to connect to your VPN
nor have I been able to connect to my own VPN (Mullvad) using there config
files.
Whats happening is when I try starting the VPN it says its started some
time it shows as ON on the desktop but then only a few seconds latter it
gives the Caution message. This happens with both your VPN and using my
own.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong or how to fix it. Also I’d
much rather use my own VPN, if Mullvad wont work is there another provider
you can recommend that will work and has been tested?
Another question is when I start Firefox ESR I see that it requires a
proxy to connect and wont connect unless I change the network settings to
No Proxy. Is this because I cant get the VPN started proper or is this
because you also recommend using some sock5 or other proxy in addition to
the VPN and Tor?
Hope you can help me sort this out. Thax
* Warith Al Maawali

Dear Vatfaire,
For own VPN just paste the config file on the folder on the Desktop I

Please note that Kodachi 3.6 had an issue with VPN please download
Kodachi 3.7 all problems have been fixed changes can be found here
https://www.digi77.com/software/kodachi/Kodachi-Log.txt
For Firefox ESR once you have VPN established wait for Tor to be
established then run Kodachi browser you won’t have an issue because
Kodachi browser is tunneled into local proxy to pass via TOR client.

4- Skype was removed!
5- pidgin added
6- This has been fixed now u can use Kodachi browser or Tor browser it
self ( Ip refreshing is normal so u make sure u get the latest info)
7- For security reasons it is a must to have them on before your login
stop button have been added
8- Excellent idea done on version 3
9- I decreased the number of logos and website links to one only
10- I moved from Gnome to XCFCE this problem will not be there on version
3.

First, I love this setup and design. It is fantastic. I hope that I can
find a way to use this in the future. There is just one problem. There is
no obvious method to disable the VPN service and use your own instead.
Also, I cannot access onion sites, which I assume is because the speed is
insufficient on the free vpn. If you could assist me in finding out how to
accomplish that I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

Hi Warith
I accept your warning why I should not – but I want to permanently install

in grub rescue. From there I have tried re-installing grub and grub2 but
to no avail.

what may have gone wrong?
This is an excellent distro and I really appreciate the work that has gone

written step by step installation guide that I follow could you please
see it and make sure you are not missing any of the steps.

Thank you for replying. I have followed your instructions to the

into grub rescue.
I am going to have to give up on this and find another way to achieve
what I want on a permanent installation. Thanks anyway.

I wish I could help its difficult to know what goes wrong if the PC
is not in front of you, Please let me know if you find your way so
others with similar issue would benefit as well.

I have run this system 4 times, I found it was unstable. It will suddenly
turn black and need to login. The bottom bar will turn out to be on the
top,and when it is on the top,clicking on the icons,things should show up
is gone,can’t see. They are out of the screen.
My computer goes very hot,i can see cpu status ,up to 60.
Then i find it is base on Debian testing,unstble. No…why not choose a
stable distribution? I think you still have things to do…

Dear Lemom,
I really appreciate your comments I will do my best to cover most of
them if not all. For stability I am thinking to switch from Gnome to
XFCE this should fix many of the graphical problems.
Please keep adding your comments as I will consider them once I start
working on the next release.

The same guy upside. I used Kodachi to write my comment. Looked like i
used too much time, VPN was down,tor was down. Because i connect to WiFi
which needs to login. I try to relogin my wifi,failed.Even the login
homepage could not open. I thought the “DNS tools” was the cause.I don’t
know how to stop the “DNS tools”. Then i connect to a AD-HOT,which can
connect to the Internet directly when i run WIN7. Failed again. I tried to
copy my comment to my USB disk,then i found the gedit can edit txt files.
I tried to save my comment just on the system’s new txt file,then gedit
couldn’t run,said failed to run. I tried to use rootterminal to use
gedit,but the rootterm didn’t run. I tried to run some apps,many failed to
response. Maybe the system was running a long time so it turned to be
unstable. At last,i took several pictures of my comments so i won’t
forget,then i had to type it again! NO—–

Thanks for your work! Compared to other privacy live systems,i think this
is the best live system for users.
However,i still have some suggestions for you. Because i am new in
linux,so don’t laugh at me if i say something stupid…
1. I can’t use other VPNs except ones you have set.I have my own VPNs,but
in the networksettings,i can’t add VPNs.It says no VPN components were set
up.So i think you should make VPN connectsettings prepared,popular
protocals like PPTP,L2TP,OPENVPN should added.If the system can’t connect
to VPNs,in many circumstances that means TOR can’t connect to the
network.So the system turns out to be useless. Waa… Many bad guys working
for bad governments(like China,Syria) can find your VPNs,then they may
block the VPN ips.Finally your VPNs can’t work,and users can’t use their
own VPNs.
2. I think a multiple input method should be set by default,like
ibus,fcitx,which support chinese pinyin,wubi as well as english.Because i
need to input chinese,not english. Others may need to input syrian,vitnan…
I try to install fcitx on a computer running Debian,oh my god,it took me
too much time,i need google it and reboot the computer. (sorry,i said i am
new in linux)
3. Two firewalls in this system don’t work very well.I run the Gufw
firewall,unlock it,turn on,some time later,it stopped working,no reaction.
The pglgui firewall can work,but can not update,said something was wrong.
4. Skype should be removed.It has been reported to be unsafe.People who
use Kodachi absolutely care about safety and privacy. Besides,bluetooth
may not need anymore,i don’t think people may use it. Games in the system
may be removed as well. That will make the system smaller.
5. I think pidgin(with OTR) should be set up by default.Using pidgin to
send encrypted instant message is my first choice. Jitsi is a very good
choice for video call.
6. Problems with default VPNs and TOR. The default VPNs seems not stable.
They can connect to network,but i can see the VPN ip changes several
times. Maybe it is automatic.But that makes tor disconnect sometimes. In
terms of Tor, i choose the tor exit country,it is right,but after some
minutes,the tor ip shows another country. I choose an exit country so i
can use some services,when the tor exit country changes,the service shows
wrong. That happens most with gmail. So i think the function of choosing
an exit country should just be like editting the tor torrc file,(exitnodes
{},{},strictnodes 1). I just need the tor ip to be in this country,and i
don’t care if it changes in this country,that doesn’t make any problem.
7. The VPN and Tor are set to start with system? I can see the tor status
shows “on” when i just get into the desktop. If that’s right,i think it is
somehow dangerous.Because my ISP an see i am trying to connect to Tor
servers. So i think the VPN and Tor should not start with system. And the
“start””stop” buttons should be added to the icons on the bottom. Same
problem with the VPNs and DNS tools. When i use wifi,DNS tools make me
unable to use my wifi login page.(that’s why i can’t login my wifi,i
think)
8. Just like Tails,i think Kodachi may need to add a function to set
random MAC. Besides,when i click F12 ro run the live system, there should
be a choice to select languages and regions like Chinese or English or
Syrian.So when i open a website no editted in english,the page will no
just show “□□□□”。
9. I think the icons “www.digi777.com” and the “eagle eye” pic take large
area of the screen. And the system,traffic,tor,vpn status texts are very
small. My eyes need to get very close to the computer to see the words.
Maybe you can use those “eagle eye” pictures ad the background pic,or you
can set your website in the default tor browser.When the browser opens,it
will show both tor check and the “digi777” homepage. I can accept that.
10. A small problem with the system. When i run it in VBox,the bottem bar
cannot show up, which means i can only click the 5 large icons. The
highest screen solution is 1024×768,that is the cause,i think.
Thank you for watching my comment.I think that is a lot of words… I want
to say you are doing a great job! I appreciate that. I will go on paying
attention to Kodachi,because i need it!

why i can not use torrent applications to download the iso file？ I

Hello,
Its difficult to maintain a clean torrent copy but to solve the problem
we have added new download links (Asia – Europe – USA) which are linked
directly to our servers. Please try one of them using download manager
that supports resume.

Hi Warith,
Thanks for the distro, but where I can find some documentation, I’m not
able to access TOR pages (onion).
* W. Almaawali
February 27, 2014
Dear Yuri,
It seems Tor has changed some of their configuration I could not access
them either I will make sure this matter is addressed on the next
release of Kodachi.
For the time been you can still access the hidden services via Stealth
Browser by using https://www.onion.to/.
Alternatively download Tor browser for Linux 64 bit

Dear Dabbu,
GUI should load automatically if the drivers are loaded can you tell me
what is the error message you are getting ?
You can try this command:
1. startx
If it does not work let me know what you get when you type the following
command:

Dear Dabbu
Please, where is the source code (Linux Kodachi)?,
Is it Open Source – GPL??
Thank’s a lot in advance
* W. Almaawali
November 28, 2013
Dear Moriatry
Yes Kodachi is Open Source and Free
Kodachi is a Debian-based live DVD/USB operating system which means
that all packages are based on pure Debian repository. Kodachi has
been customized and tweaked using plain text bash scripts which are
included with the ISO package.
All sources are included within the ISO package apart from original
Debian packages there is no compiled binary files from our side
every customization is in open bash scripts except for the CPU
utilization process the source code can be found here
https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer.
Debian source which Kodachi is based on can be found here
http://www.debian.org/devel/
I hope this makes it clear:)

where can i find a 32bit version ?
* W. Almaawali
November 29, 2013
Dear Stephane,
Currently there is only 64 version of Linux Kodachi. The Majority
of PC’s are 64-bit these days. If you bought your PC from late
2003 and upwards it should be 64 and it would work.
If you are a Linux user just type
1. getconf LONG_BIT
on terminal to find out if you have 64-bit processors.

Hi Warith,
Thanks for your initiatives. Good to see FOSS in business in Oman!
I want to ask why you choose linux Mint to build this distro? why not
Ubuntu? Any plan to continue with other versions?
Also why you put usage as “freeware”, because I think it is still under
GPL?
BR
* W. Almaawali
November 5, 2013
Dear Khalil,
I have chosen Mint for the easy of use and polished distro. However I
agree its better to shift to Debian or Xubuntu. Stay tuned version 2.0
is coming with major improvements including 64bit. Regarding the
freeware you have a point I forgot to change it.
Thank you
