Clean Install Septor Linux on PC - A Debian-Based Distro Focused on Privacy


Recently I wrote about Mageia 8 Linux. In this tutorial, we’ll see how to install Septor Linux on Computer as main OS.

Septor Linux is arguably one of the best out-of-the-box Linux distributions available for security testing. While many of the tools in Septor can be installed in most Linux distributions, the Offensive Security team developing Septor has put countless hours into perfecting their ready-to-boot security distribution.

Septor Linux is a operating system that provides users with a perfect computing environment for surfing the Internet anonymously. Septor providing users with a stable and reliable distribution that is based on Debian GNU/Linux and works on a wide range of computers. Distribution featuring a customised KDE Plasma deskop and Tor technologies.

Septor Linux either includes tools already built to use tor, or the team configures other tools to use Tor to gain complete anonymity. For example, the Tor web browser and OnionShare are already preconfigured to use Tor for anonymity.

And secondly, the tools that the Septor team has configured to use Tor to gain anonymity, for example, Thunderbird has TorBirdy preinstalled to route traffic through Tor. So this way, Septor routes all the internet traffic through Tor.

Besides these apps, Septor has a wide collection of daily-use apps — from music player, graphics tools like GIMP, LibreOffice, KWallet to VeraCrypt for files encryption and so on
