It has very interesting capabilities. When used correctly, it can prevent exit node attacks and even correlation. What sets Cyrethium apart here is that instead of artificially generating fake traffic, it actually sends requests to truly random websites. This makes it impossible for someone monitoring your network to determine which activity is genuine. Another feature I like is that it separates your tasks by using two different Firefox browsers. Using Amnesic for sensitive tasks and Hardened Firefox for everyday tasks ensures strong privacy, and you can use both at the same time. This is better than the single browser approach. I looked at the configuration; the browsers are customized via user.js. Cyrethium browsers are truly as powerful as Tor Browser and much more robust than Arkenfox. The biggest drawback is that the browsers are not sandboxed, so I'll deduct one point for that. If you add the firejail --apparmor parameter to the exec section in Cyrethium's browser .desktop files, security will be greatly enhanced. Other than that, it's a really solid and quite unique project. Congratulations. However, if you're new to Linux, I wouldn't recommend using this distribution. You should know that using Cyrethium is as complicated as using Qubes. Using the wrong tool at the wrong time can compromise your anonymity. Was this review helpful?

Technically, Cyrethium is a really solid distribution with strong routing, browser configurations, and system hardening. It has nice tools that set it apart from other operating systems, such as its own sandbox tool, Plaztek, and its own exploit detection framework, Anti-Exploit Suite. On the downside, the distribution is lacking in terms of AppArmor profiles, and it comes with quite a lot of pre-installed firmware, which increases the attack surface. Additionally, the developer stated they would regularly release a Warrant Canary, but failed to follow through on this promise. Interestingly, the distribution's GitHub location shows a game map that doesn't actually exist, and its website is filled with game characters???? This makes me question the distribution's seriousness; it feels more like a game distribution than a privacy-focused one. Overall, the distribution is technically sound, conceptually very different, and has potential. However, I cannot recommend this distribution at the moment because its future is quite uncertain and the developer is not active... Was this review helpful?

Securonis now known as Cyrethium V1R. Tor internet experience is on the slower side of internet surfing, a trade off for privacy and security. Linux is steadily gaining momentum and linux operating systems such as Securonis/Cyrethium V1R are a welcoming addition to guys collections full of linux related enthusiasm. Cyrethium V1R is finally released. Linux versus Windows discussion gains further traction. When Securonis 1.0 Arise ( Now branded as Cyrethium V1R. ) was released, it was electrifying to know the possibilities of softwares. Was this review helpful? Yes No
